What landscaping in Aksarben & Elmwood actually involves
Aksarben & Elmwood is mostly 1940-1970, with newer infill. Expect brick ranches and Cape Cods next to recent apartment and townhome construction. That housing stock is what decides how a landscaping job gets scoped, quoted and done, and it is why a pro who works these blocks gives you a different answer than a call center does.
- The original evergreen foundation plantings from this era have usually outgrown the house entirely. Removing and rescaling them is the single biggest curb-appeal change available.
- Established canopy means shade-tolerant plantings and real root competition. Plans drawn for a sunny new lot will fail here.

Landscaping in Aksarben & Elmwood: common questions
Is landscaping in Aksarben & Elmwood different from the rest of Omaha?
Yes, and it comes down to the houses. Aksarben & Elmwood is mostly 1940-1970, with newer infill, mostly brick ranches and Cape Cods next to recent apartment and townhome construction. The original evergreen foundation plantings from this era have usually outgrown the house entirely. Removing and rescaling them is the single biggest curb-appeal change available. Established canopy means shade-tolerant plantings and real root competition. Plans drawn for a sunny new lot will fail here.
How much does landscaping cost in Omaha?
Small refreshes (mulch, edging, a few shrubs) run $500–$2,000. Full front-yard redesigns typically land between $5,000 and $15,000, and hardscape projects like patios and retaining walls scale by square footage.
What plants do well in Omaha?
Omaha sits in USDA Zone 5b. Native and adapted plants like coneflower, little bluestem, serviceberry, ninebark and river birch handle our heat, wind and cold without babysitting.

Spring (April–May) and early fall (September–October) are ideal for planting. Hardscape can be built anytime the ground isn't frozen.
