Expert Landscape Design in Lincoln, Nebraska

Landscape design in Lincoln, Nebraska requires more than a good-looking plan. Lincoln sits in USDA Hardiness Zone 5b to 6a, with winter lows that can drop below -10°F and summer heat that regularly pushes past 95°F. The area's clay-heavy soil holds water during wet spells and turns hard during dry ones, which means drainage and grading must be built into every design from the start. At CNC - Central Ne Concrete And Construction, we account for these conditions before a single plant goes in the ground. Our process starts with a site visit to assess sun exposure, existing grades, drainage patterns, and how you use your outdoor space. From there, we build a design that balances hardscape and softscape elements, selects plants suited to Nebraska's climate, and addresses problem areas like pooling water or eroding slopes. Whether you want a clean front yard refresh or a full backyard layout with defined zones, we create a plan that works on your property and holds up through all four Nebraska seasons.

Gregg & Jacob did a wonderful job at our place! They ripped out all of our old concrete and poured a new garage floor, driveway, made a landing and stairs and did a small patio out front. We have had nothing but compliments on our beautiful home now. Gregg & Jacob did everything we asked and they were here daily until the job was done. We highly reccomend Gregg and Jacob for any job !! Not to mention every night before they left they cleaned up and made sure everything was okay!! Gregg was so wonderful to work with.
