Homeowners in Omaha should call a local landscaper who knows Nebraska’s climate, from humid summers to icy winters. Hiring a pro means someone else handles the heavy work: grading, drainage, planting, patios, or regular lawn care, with the right equipment for clay soil and the know-how for our freeze-thaw cycles.

Omaha yards take a beating. Hot, sticky summers and long, hard winters give you crabgrass in July and bare patches by March. You get clay that holds water until it cracks, and you get drainage headaches every time it rains hard.

A good landscape crew here is more than a mower and a truck. They know how to grade a yard so water runs away from your house, which plants can handle a Nebraska freeze, and how far you need to dig before you hit something that makes you wish you had rented a mini-excavator. If you want your lawn green in August and your patio level in April, you want someone who’s dug in this dirt before.

Who are the best landscaping companies in Omaha?

Ordered by Google rating weighted against the number of ratings, so a long record of good work outranks a handful of perfect scores. This is a ranking of public feedback, not an endorsement.

He invited us out to see their display mowing and ask all the questions we wanted since we’ve never purchased one of these before… He laid out the different programs available to either purchase one or have them maintain the mower… He sent out Devante to do a site survey… After we purchased, Devante came out and did an OUTSTANDING job Installing the Navimow! We have had it about two weeks and could not be happier!!! SunCo is a template for excellence in Customer Service!!! THEY ROCK!!!

We’ve worked with SunCo both personally and professionally, and they’ve been fantastic every step of the way. They recently handled applications on one of our rental properties, and the process was smooth, professional, and well-communicated from start to finish. As a fellow local business, we’ve also had the opportunity to partner with them and can confidently say they are a company that operates with integrity. The owners genuinely care about their customers and employees, and it shows in the way they do business. Great people, great service, and a company we’re always happy to recommend.

2. Heartland Lawns

4.7 stars from 1,251 Google reviews.

Heartland Lawns offers a 6-Step Wellness Program designed for Omaha’s turf and weather. Their service includes double pre-emergent application, insecticide, and nutrients to keep lawns thick and healthy, with attention to winter preparation and root strength.

What customers say:

This is the 3rd company that I have “tried” to get rid of weeds. With Sunco and Pro Turf & Pro Pest that I was paying, I found myself STILL pulling weeds! Why pay a company to spray for weeds and then go out and pull them yourself? So I fired both companies after a season and decided to try Heartland Lawns. Not only are 99.9% of my weeds are gone, but the lawn looks great! This company is friendly, competent and caring and I would highly recommend to anyone who wants professional lawn care! Unfortunately, some homeowners don’t have the courage to fire bad companies and will keep them around and continue to pay them. Good companies should be rewarded and this is why I’m taking the time to write this review…thanks Heartland Lawns! They also constructed our raised flower bed…awesome!

R G Smith, 2 months ago

Heartland Lawn and all the staff are awesome. Not only does my lawn look great but service is so reliable. They call me prior to arrival so I can unlock gate and lock in my pets. Instructions are always left regarding follow up watering. Pricing for the service is very competitive. Good job Logan.

Jackie Hudson, a month ago

Heartland Lawns is great at what they do and the quality is consistent. I once switched companies to save $10 an application and quickly regretted it. I was back with Heartland within the year and have no complaints! Their professionalism and consistency is unmatched!

Diana Jensen, 2 months ago

Our first project with Sun Valley. Jose was our onsite manager. We had two or three men working each day. All were professional, cordial and enjoyable to work with. Their work was conscientious and thoughtful. They kept the worksite picked up and were considerate of neighboring property. All that have seen their work have been very complementary. We look forward to working with them on another project. The photos are two before and two after pictures. They look grainy as I complete this review. I hope they show clear when posted.

Jason Farrell, 3 months ago

This was our first time using Patera Landscaping & we couldn't have been more pleased with their work. The crew was very conscientious, professional & meticulous in everything they did. Attention to the smallest details went above & beyond what we had anticipated. From our first meeting with Ryan to the completion of our project, we were fully informed on every step along the way. We would highly recommend Patera & will definitely use them for any landscaping projects in the future!

Kay Ehlers, 2 months ago

Patera completed a massive project for us. A complete overhaul of our property. From the start Jeff was incredible. The plans were amazing and we were so excited to see it completed. The project took 6 weeks to complete and although I had a moment of panic when seeing the unfinished concrete they listened to my concerns and asked me to “trust the process” which I tried to do while internally panicking. In the end it is everything we dreamed and hoped for. We truly have an outdoor oasis. I’m so happy we worked with them and am looking forward to continuing to work with them for spring and fall clean ups and even future expansions of our recent renovation!

AJ’s Landscaping did an outstanding job on our project! They replaced our retaining wall, installed beautiful natural stone edging, improved our yard drainage with a new swale, and refreshed our landscape beds with new fabric and river rock.

The lawn maintenance workers very quick and did quality work. This is my first experience with lawn Care.

I couldn't ask for a better job.

Robin Carson, 3 months ago

Nathan’s lawn service did a great job on my yard. The cut looked great and my flower bed looked tidy and beautiful.. no more weeds. I was impressed and look forward to more services with my yard care needs. Definitely would recommend them.

What customers say:

An Amazing Experience from Start to Finish! Groundscapes recently installed a pool (16x32) for our family, and we couldn't be happier with the results. The pool is absolutely fantastic! From day one, the entire team made the process smooth and enjoyable. A special thank you to Cody, Jeff, Brandon and crew, Cristian and crew, Julio, Tara, Alex, Carlie, and Tyler. Every one of them was wonderful to work with and went above and beyond to ensure everything was done right and that we were happy and satisfied every step of the way. They established weekly updates to keep us informed throughout the project, were incredibly responsive to our needs, and patiently answered all of our follow-on questions even after the construction was completed and they were off doing other projects. Their subcontractors were just as impressive: dependable, easy to reach for questions, and consistently produced quality work. From pool dig to the final landscaping, the whole project felt like an amazing adventure. We've received wonderful compliments from family and friends who drop by to see it, and I've even referred Groundscapes to a co-worker because I'm so pleased with their work. If you're considering a pool installation, I highly recommend Groundscapes. Their professionalism, communication, and craftsmanship are top-notch!

Kenjala Johnson, 2 months ago

I couldn’t be happier with our landscape and pool project! From start to finish, the communication with Jack was great. I was kept informed throughout every phase, and the attention to detail was exceptional. What really stood out was the crews honesty and integrity. Instead of suggesting unnecessary upgrades or adding to the cost, they actually recommended ways to save money while still achieving a beautiful end result. It was clear they genuinely cared about delivering the best value, not just increasing the project budget.

Terri Larchick, a month ago

We’ve had nothing but great experiences working with Groundscapes throughout the 4 projects we’ve hired them to complete. Cody and his team are always quick to respond, give specific timelines on when the crews will be out working on the project and if/when there are items needing attention, we never had a single issue with getting it completed in a quick turnaround time; oftentimes within a day. They do fantastic work and the service is incredible! Cody, Jeff, Alexandra, Julio - awesome job Thank you Groundscapes and keep up the great work!

Bill and his team did all of our landscaping and put in our amazing pool. Bill worked with us to help us visualize what pool shape we needed and it turned out gorgeous. His team also mows our lawn every week, and they do a great job. We recommend Bill and his team to anyone.

Carly Cummings, 9 months ago

We met Bill Mar at the Home Show, and from that first conversation, we knew we were in good hands. Bill, Jared, Marcus, and the entire team transformed our backyard starting with a patio, a beautiful fireplace, refreshed deck and designed landscaping around the entire property. The result is truly an outdoor oasis for us to enjoy! From start to finish, their communication was clear and consistent. They offered creative ideas, and kept us informed at every step. Their hard work, attention to detail, and craftsmanship show in every part of the project - from the stonework on the patio/fireplace to the layout of the deck and the finishing touches on the landscaping. We highly recommend Bill Mar and the team to anyone looking to transform their outdoor space.

How do you choose a landscaper in Omaha?

The right landscaper in Omaha knows the difference between a yard that looks good in May and one that still looks good after a January thaw. Ask if they have experience with heavy clay soil and drainage, and see what kind of warranty or follow-up they offer. If you want a patio or retaining wall, look for a company with hardscaping experience and photos of finished work. For lawn care, ask about their fertilizer schedule and what they do for winter prep. Always get a written estimate and check that they’re insured, especially for bigger builds.

Service Type Best For What to Ask
Lawn Care Thick, green grass Fertilizer schedule, weed control, winter prep
Hardscaping Patios, retaining walls, fire pits Drainage plan, materials used, warranty
Design & Build Full yard makeovers Experience with clay soil, plant selection, drainage solutions
Maintenance Regular mowing, trimming Frequency, what’s included, seasonal services

Frequently asked questions

Lawn care, drainage solutions, patios, retaining walls, and planting hardy perennials are common. Many homeowners also ask for snow removal or winter prep services.

How do I know if my yard needs better drainage?

If you see standing water after rain, soggy spots that never dry, or your basement gets damp, your yard probably needs grading or a drainage fix.

When is the best time to plant new grass or shrubs in Omaha?

Spring and early fall are best. The soil is workable, and the weather gives new roots a chance to establish before heat or frost hits.

Do I need to winterize my landscaping in Nebraska?

Yes. Water lines should be drained, perennials cut back, and some lawns benefit from a final fertilization before the ground freezes.
