OUR SERVICES
Land Escapes specializes in custom gardening, landscaping, and maintenance services that are specially tailored to suit your needs. Our goal is to create an outdoor space that brings personal enjoyment and enlivens your senses. Unlike many other landscaping companies, we strive to create unique designs that break the mold of "cookie-cutter" landscapes. Everyone has different ideas as to what they like in a garden and we'll do whatever it is that will bring a smile to your face each time you step outside. That could mean simply trimming some existing shrubs, planting a few floweres, or designing and installing a whole new landscape for you. The following is a list of our regular services. If you are interested in something that's not listed, don't hesitate to call and ask. For additional information, current rates, questions or to set up a consultation please contact Kristin Shriner.
General Garden Maintenance: Seasonal clean-up of existing gardens, raking deadheading, transplanting, and weeding. For properties in need of regular maintenance, we offer a selection of "Monthly Maintenance Plan" service contracts that will cover your needs for the season.
Planting: Want to add something new to your garden? We'll plant anyting from annuals and herbs to perennials, shrubs and trees. We hand select all of our plants specifically for your garden insuring that they are of top quality and health.
Garden Design and Installation: Using perennials, annuals, herbs, trees, shrubs, evergreens, ornamental grasses, bulbs and more. We pay special attention to creating a garden full of contrast using different flower and foliage colors, textures, and forms. Our desighs are hand-drawn and created with your personal objectives in mind. We also focus on four season interest so your garden is enjoyable year round. Due to limited time during the growing season, most scale designs will be drawn between January and March and be ready for spring or summer installation.
Shrub and Small Tree Pruning: Minimal or extensive trimming to keep shrubs and small trees helathy and looking their best. If you have a larger tree pruning or removal need, please contact us and we will refer you to our preffered licensed arborist.
Mulching: We hightly recommend applying a good layer of mulch to your gardens. There are many benefits including improved weed control, maintaining even soil temperature and moisture, along with the addition of organic material to the soil as the mulch breaks down over time. Mulch also presents a cleaner, more attractive landscape. We offer a number of varieties based on your personal preference and local availability. Many of our mulches are also certified pest and chemical free. See our Mulch Madness page for more information.
Edging: There are many options available to help define the border between your gardens and lawn or other surface. Land Escapes most commonly uses the "trench method" which is simple, inexpensive and creates a clean, natural look. Other creative materials that can be used for defining and edge include stone, brick, concrete, wood and plastic. They are all popular materials which offer a wide variety in form to give you a casulal, formal or rustic look.
Hardscaping: Design and installation of flagstone pathways, rock gardens, boulders, dry streambeds, and more. Using these materials adds another dimension and texture to your landscape and increases the visual interest.
Container Gardening: We will create the perfect container of plants for your front porch, deck, patio or other area of your yard or garden. Plant and design options are unlimited! Containers are also an element that can be easily changed out for each season. See our Container Gardening page to get some ideas and for some photos of our work.
Xeriscaping: With recent drought in Nebraska, this special technique is a great way to conserve one of our most valuable resources. We can create a landscape for you that will require less water, yet stil provide color and beauty.
Consulting: If you would like to do all or part of the work yourself but are unsure where to begin, we are available to provide you with the information you'll need to get started.
