Frequently Asked Landscape Design Questions
What is the process for creating a custom landscape design with The Groundskeeper?
Our process begins with an in-depth consultation to understand your vision and property needs. We then develop a custom design plan that seamlessly integrates hardscaping (Paver Patios, etc.) and softscaping (plants, lawn), often including professional 3D rendering options for a clear visualization before any work begins.
What types of materials and softscaping do you install as part of a landscape design?
We install all living elements of your yard, including new Landscape Plantings such as trees, shrubs, annuals, and perennials. We also provide professional Sod Installation, Fertilizing & Mulching to ensure your plant material has a healthy start and continues to thrive.
How do you ensure the landscape design will thrive in the challenging Omaha climate?
Leveraging our 30 years of experience, we select and site all plant materials based on the specific microclimate of your property (sun, shade, drainage) and their proven resilience in the Midwest’s weather conditions, guaranteeing a healthy, sustainable landscape.
Can you integrate existing outdoor features (like a deck or fence) into the new landscape design?
Yes, our custom Landscape Design focuses on cohesive integration. We plan new features (patios, plantings) to complement and seamlessly connect with your existing structures, maximizing the functionality and aesthetic appeal of your entire outdoor living space.
What is included in your sod installation service?
Our sod installation service is comprehensive and starts with proper soil preparation and grading to ensure optimal drainage. We install high-quality sod and include initial rolling and watering instructions, ensuring the new lawn takes root quickly and provides a lush, immediate foundation for your landscape.
Do your landscape design services include the planning and installation of Landscape Lighting?
Yes, Outdoor Lighting is a core part of a complete design. We include Custom Lighting Design & Consultation as part of the process to highlight key design elements, enhance security, and extend the enjoyment of your new landscape into the evening hours.
Do you provide services for removing old or unwanted trees and shrubs before the new design is installed?
Yes, we offer professional Tree & Shrub Removal Services, including safe and efficient stump removal. This is a crucial preparatory step to clear the site and ensure the new landscape design has a fresh, clean slate for installation.
How do your landscape design services differ from basic property maintenance?
Landscape Design is the initial planning, creation, and professional installation of a new space. Property Maintenance is the ongoing, year-round care (mowing, trimming, weeding) to preserve the health and appearance of the landscape that was installed. We are unique in offering expert services for both stages.
