Breaking Ground

Our specialist in Horticulture and Landscape Design gives us a singular advantage in meeting the landscaping needs of our clients. Our years of experience designing landscapes with plants at the forefront are highlighted by many successfully completed projects. These landscapes are designed with the future in mind; each design utilizes plants that compliment the space as they grow over the years, rather than taking over and compromising the original design. With extensive knowledge of how plants interact with landscape design, and a bottomless passion for the cohesive, stunning use of Horticulture in design, Breaking Ground can provide a one-of-a-kind experience.

At Breaking Ground, we strive to provide development of comprehensive landscape design that exceeds our clients' expectations - both in beauty and function. We are a full-service design, construction, and maintenance company, and pride ourselves in being involved from the initial design consultation, through the completion of construction, to continual detailed garden enhancements. From start to finish, we focus on the details that will take your outdoor space from "pretty" to "everything you could have hoped for."

Some landscape designs are clearly planned out. A Colonial Revival garden or the Gardens of Versailles, for instance, have a disciplined geometry that stands the test of time. But even those whose tastes run to a more organic and naturalistic look, like that found in many Japanese and English gardens, can benefit from the sure hand of an experienced landscape designer. While Breaking Ground offers a wide range of landscaping services to the Omaha area, each have at least one thing in common: your project's landscape design is at the foundation of everything we do.

Water soothes the soul. That's why more and more homeowners are opting for water features. Whether your idea of a water feature is a small store-bought fountain, or if you're daring to dream bigger, it's time to unleash your creativity with the help of Breaking Ground. There are many types of water features. They can be modest accents, or bold statement pieces. Larger properties can benefit from an engineered creek or waterfall. A pond or reflecting pool can be the centerpiece of a medium-sized property.

Breaking Ground offers free site inspections to discuss your landscaping or gardening project without obligation. It is a great chance for you to get a feel for our design process and how we work, meet our team and discuss your ideas and perhaps even gain a few new ones from us. Once the groundwork has been established, a Design Proposal is prepared which clearly outlines the extent of projected work, the stages involved, responsibility for each stage and the fees/costs associated. We then will provide plans, drawings, planting specification, and manage overall control of the entire gardening project, completing the work with our talented in-house team and/or commissioning trusted contractors and suppliers on behalf of the client.
