OMAHA LANDSCAPING CONTRACTOR
Landscape Design & Retaining Walls in Omaha, NE
Spagnotti Contracting handles landscape design, installation, and property improvements for Omaha-area homeowners.
LANDSCAPING PRICING
Landscaping costs depend on the size of the property, existing conditions, removal requirements, plant and material selections, access, grading, drainage, equipment needs, and overall project complexity. The ranges below are intended to help homeowners begin planning.
Landscape Cleanup & Refresh
Typically $1,500–$4,000
For improving existing landscape areas through overgrowth and debris removal, bed cleanup, minor reshaping, basic edging, fresh mulch or decorative rock, and limited shrub or plant replacement.
New Landscape Beds & Plantings
Typically $3,000–$8,000
For creating or substantially rebuilding landscape beds with layout, bed preparation, edging, soil amendments, mulch or decorative rock, shrubs, grasses, perennial plantings, and standard cleanup.
Full Landscape Transformation
$10,000 and up
For larger front-yard, backyard, or whole-property improvements involving multiple landscape areas, significant removal, extensive planting, grading, sod, drainage improvements, decorative rock, mulch, equipment, or multiple phases of work.
Grading, Drainage & Specialty Projects
Custom Proposal
For yard grading, drainage correction, French drains, buried downspout extensions, sod installation, retaining walls, erosion correction, large rock installations, significant excavation, or projects requiring specialized planning or engineering.
Spagnotti Contracting focuses on project-based landscape improvements rather than weekly mowing, routine lawn maintenance, fertilization, chemical lawn treatments, or seasonal maintenance programs.
Smaller landscaping projects are quoted individually because material delivery, disposal, equipment, setup, and crew mobilization can represent a larger portion of the total project cost.

Plant Establishment
Plant health and establishment depend on watering, weather, soil conditions, drainage, pests, and continued homeowner maintenance. Any plant warranty must be specifically stated in the written proposal and may require documented watering and care.
Weed Control
Mulch, decorative rock, edging, and landscape fabric can help reduce weed growth but cannot permanently prevent weeds or eliminate future landscape maintenance.
Drainage Improvements
Drainage improvements are designed to better manage water under the evaluated site conditions but cannot guarantee that all standing water, groundwater, flooding, or moisture issues will be permanently eliminated.
Concealed Conditions
Buried debris, roots, utilities, unsuitable soils, abandoned foundations, old drainage systems, and other concealed site conditions may require additional work and pricing.
Published ranges are intended for initial planning only. Final landscaping proposals are based on measured scope, property conditions, removal requirements, material and plant selections, access, grading, drainage, soil conditions, equipment needs, disposal, and project complexity. Concealed conditions, weather delays, unavailable materials, major excavation, specialty equipment, engineering requirements, and additional restoration are quoted separately.
Yard problems often start small before they affect drainage or curb appeal. These are common signs Omaha homeowners notice before scheduling landscaping work.
Poor drainage or pooling water in the yard
Eroding soil or a sloped, sinking yard area
Bare patches or thinning grass
Overgrown or outdated landscaping
Retaining walls that are leaning, cracking, or failing
Water collecting near the foundation
Difficulty maintaining or defining yard spaces
Preparing a home for sale or a fresh outdoor look
A lasting landscape depends on what happens below the surface, not just what’s planted. Here’s what’s included on every Spagnotti Contracting landscape installation.

Do you design custom landscaping for my yard?
Yes. Every landscape project starts with a site assessment and design based on your yard, goals, and how you use the space.
Do you build retaining walls?
Yes, for erosion control, grade changes, and defining yard spaces.
Can you fix drainage problems in my yard?
Yes. Grading and drainage solutions are part of many landscaping projects, especially where water is pooling or collecting near the foundation.
What time of year is best for landscaping projects?
Most planting and installation work is completed in spring through fall when weather and ground conditions allow. Some site prep can be scheduled outside that window depending on the project.
Do you handle seasonal cleanup in addition to new landscaping?
Yes. We handle seasonal cleanup and general property maintenance in addition to design and installation projects.
How long does a landscaping project take?
Timelines vary widely by scope, from a few days for planting beds to several weeks for larger design and hardscape projects.
