With years of experience in landscape design and shrub planting services in Omaha and the surrounding areas, we create beautiful, functional landscapes that thrive in Nebraska’s climate.

Landscaping Shrubs for Omaha Yards

Shrubs are hardy woody plants that add structure and fill in space in your yard. Some shrubs can grow to be a few feet tall or to be tree-size, and even trained to act like a tree. However, for most gardens, these plants are valuable low-maintenance mid-size garden features that enhance both beauty and functionality. Some shrubs are most well-known for their flower colors, while others are popular for their showy green foliage. Like trees, shrubs can be either evergreen or deciduous. Many shrubs are also fast-growing and easy to care for.

Types of Shrubs We Plant in Omaha

We select shrub varieties based on your yard’s sun exposure, soil drainage, and the look you’re going for, not a one-size-fits-all list. Common choices for Omaha properties include:

• Burning Bush — A hardy, multi-stemmed shrub known for brilliant red fall foliage. Handles Omaha’s temperature swings well and holds its shape through summer.
• Hydrangeas — Large, showy blooms in blue, pink, or white depending on soil pH. A favorite for foundation plantings and cut-flower gardens.
• Weigela — Low-maintenance with pretty spring flowers and reliable performance across our growing zone.
• Boxwood — Evergreen structure for formal hedges, borders, and year-round green presence even through winter.
• Spirea — Fast-growing, flowering, and forgiving — a strong choice for filling in new beds quickly.

Ornamental Grasses for Texture & Movement

Flowing and graceful, these plants can range in size from 6” to over 6′, with colors ranging from pale green to a pink/purple or deep purple. Very hardy and easy to maintain, grasses just need to be cut back once a year, usually in early spring, for healthy and vibrant foliage. Perfect for adding texture, movement, and seasonal interest, ornamental grasses are an easy and beautiful addition to any garden.

Flowering Perennials

Perennials are plants that can live for multiple years and can be considered foundational plantings. Once established, these plants need less water and are hardier than annuals. With minimal upkeep, flowering perennials reward the gardener every season with blooms. Antler Country Landscaping can plan your beds around the flower colors you like, including pink, red, white, or bright yellow.

Planting Bed Installation

A new planting bed starts below the surface. We remove sod and weeds, loosen the soil, and work in compost, since Omaha’s heavy clay drains slowly and can hold too much water around roots. Then we set the edging, place each plant at the spacing it needs at full size, and finish the bed with mulch or decorative rock.

Spring is the main planting season, and early fall works well for shrubs too. We protect new plantings heading into their first winter with a fresh layer of mulch and, for young shrubs, burlap wraps where wind and snow load are a concern. See our concrete and stone edging options and our guide to landscaping rock types to help plan the finish for your beds.

Our Omaha Landscape Design Process

At Antler Country Landscaping, we follow a straightforward, reliable process to ensure your landscape design project runs smoothly:

1. Consultation – We start at your property by discussing your vision for your outdoor space, taking into account your style preferences, space size, and budget.
2. Design & Planning – Our experts create a custom 3D landscape design that incorporates shrubs, grasses, flowering perennials, and other elements that will thrive in Omaha’s climate.
3. Material Selection – We help you choose plant sizes, mulch or rock, edging, and any hardscape materials, and explain how each choice affects cost and upkeep.
4. Installation – Our skilled team handles the planting and installation, ensuring everything is done professionally and with care. Spring dates fill quickly, so designs finished over the winter get the earliest start.
5. Maintenance & Care – After installation, we offer maintenance services, including fall cleanup and winter protection, to help your landscape stay healthy and beautiful throughout the year.

Project cost depends on the size of the beds, the number and size of plants, how much soil preparation the site needs, and finish materials such as rock or stone edging. Your estimate shows these choices so you can adjust the plan to fit your budget before work begins.
