Landscape Consulting and Design

PlantNebraska's sustainable landscape experts can help you transform a landscape into an inviting, vibrant greenspace that supports habitat for pollinators and fosters community engagement and connection. If you care about creating meaningful greenspaces, saving energy, protecting water, providing habitat and showcasing the natural beauty of Nebraska, we might be a good fit for you. 

Sites that may benefit from our services include parks, schools, college campuses, municipal golf courses, fairgrounds, courthouses, libraries, transportation corridors and other public spaces, as well as non-profit organizations. At this time, we cannot work with private residences.

We offer the following consultation and landscape design options:

Plant Selection and Design
We can develop a planting plan and create a design sketch for your project that showcases the beauty of eco-friendly landscaping while fitting your budget and gardening experience level. We can also help you find native and well-adapted species that can be difficult to locate and assist with layout.

Maintenance Planning and Inventories
We can help you develop an annual and long-term maintenance plan for your landscape, as well as identify and assess existing trees and landscape plantings to inform your management and future planning.

Visioning and Master Planning 
Through participatory workshops with your stakeholders, together we can transform your community, campus or corridor into a memorable place. Our collaborative design process leads to inspirational ideas and an illustrative "road map" with which to realize your vision. Planning and visioning work will unfold over multiple sessions and may take up to 6 months to complete, depending on the scope of work.
