Business Profile

Founded in 1996 by Barry Donscheski, a former horticulturist at Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo, Elements Landscape Construction has grown from a specialized design firm into one of the area's premier full-service landscape and construction companies. The business combines deep horticultural knowledge with expert craftsmanship, earning a reputation for reliability backed by an A+ BBB rating. While renowned for complex hardscapes like custom paver patios, outdoor kitchens, retaining walls, and swimming pools, Elements also provides comprehensive landscape design, installation, and maintenance.

Q&A

What is your process for designing and building a new patio or outdoor living space in Omaha?

Our process begins with a consultation to understand your vision and the specific conditions of your property. From there, our design team creates a detailed plan that addresses function, aesthetics, and materials suitable for our local climate. As a full-service contractor, we then handle all construction, from site preparation and grading to the precise installation of pavers, retaining walls, or built-in features. We manage the entire project, ensuring the final build matches the design and is constructed to last.

My lawn in Omaha has areas of compacted soil and dead grass. Can you help, and what's the solution?

Yes, soil compaction is a common issue in our area that prevents water, air, and nutrients from reaching grass roots. We address this through core aeration, which removes small plugs of soil to alleviate compaction. For dead areas, we assess the underlying cause—often related to soil health, drainage, or shade—and recommend solutions like soil amendment, regrading, or installing a more suitable turf or groundcover. Our landscape maintenance services include these corrective treatments to restore the health and appearance of your lawn.

Do you handle the construction of structural additions like exterior walls or covered porches?

Absolutely. As licensed general contractors, our expertise extends beyond landscaping to include structural construction. We can design and build exterior walls, interior walls for outdoor living areas, pergolas, and covered porch additions. This integrated service means we can manage your entire outdoor project from the foundational hardscape and landscaping to the construction of permanent structures, ensuring a cohesive design and a single point of responsibility for the build.
