The Design Process

From blank yard to approved plan.

01

Free yard walk-through

Dexter or Tyler walks your property, measures, takes notes, and listens to what you're trying to accomplish. No pitch. No pressure. Just information gathering.

02

Digital aerial layout

We build a scaled bird's-eye view of your project using professional drafting software. You see exactly what the finished yard will look like before any work begins.

03

Plant and material selection

We recommend species and materials suited to your site conditions, sun exposure, and Nebraska's climate zone. Not what's on sale at the nursery.

04

Design review and revision

You review the design, request changes, and we iterate until it's right. You formally approve the design before any installation work is scheduled.

05

Installation plan and timeline

The approved design converts directly into an installation scope and schedule. No translation loss between what was designed and what gets built.

06

Post-install consultation

After the project is complete, we walk through care and maintenance recommendations so your investment stays sharp year after year.

Why Creative Landscaping

Design and build under one roof.

Scaled digital layouts

We use professional drafting software, not napkin sketches. You get a precise, scaled aerial view of your finished yard. What you approve is what gets built.

We design what we build

Our designs are built by our own crew. There's no hand-off to a separate contractor who interprets the plan differently. The person who designs it knows how to build it.

Nebraska-appropriate plant selection

We design for zone 5b. The plants we specify are chosen for how they perform through a Nebraska summer and survive a Nebraska winter, not just for how they look in May.

What Lincoln Homeowners Say

Real results. Real neighbors.

“I contacted Creative Landscaping at the Home and Garden show. They came out that next week. It took a couple of weeks to get the design just right. About a month later their crew was here and worked hard every day to get everything done. During the whole process they were patient with me, answered all my questions. I couldn’t have asked for a better, stress-free experience. I would definitely recommend Creative Landscaping.”

“I couldn’t be happier with the transformation Creative Landscaping brought to my yard! Their team was professional, punctual, and incredibly knowledgeable. They listened carefully to my ideas and offered creative suggestions that elevated the entire design. The crew worked efficiently and kept the site clean throughout the process. Corbin and Marvin were wonderful to work with and always had time to answer all my questions and concerns. What really stood out was their attention to detail and commitment to quality. I can’t recommend them highly enough!”

“Creative Landscaping completely transformed our home. Tyler was awesome to help create 3 phases of our project — starting small with rock and plants around the perimeter, then adding trees to our back fence line to create more privacy, and eventually adding a paver patio. Booking time with them was super easy, they were kind and respectful, and provided top notch service. I had a few plants that struggled and they caught it and replaced them before I could even reach out. Don’t waste your time getting multiple bids, just hire Creative Landscaping.”

Common Questions

Landscape Design FAQs

What software do you use for landscape design?
We use professional drafting software to create scaled aerial layouts. You get a precise bird's-eye view of your finished yard before any work begins. Not a rough sketch. A real design.
How long does the design process take?
Most designs are complete within 1-2 weeks of the initial walkthrough. Larger or more complex projects may take a bit longer. We'll set realistic expectations up front.
Do you do just design, or do you also install?
We handle both. Our designs are built by our own crew, so there's no translation loss between the design and what actually gets installed. The designer and the installer are working from the same plan.
What's included in the initial consultation?
A free yard walk-through, property measurement, and a follow-up with a digital design layout for your review. No charge and no obligation to move forward.
Can I change the design before you start building?
Yes. We iterate until you're satisfied. You formally approve the design before any installation work is scheduled. Changes after approval may affect timeline and cost, but we'll be upfront about that.
