What type of trees are best suited for our areas as a fast growing shade tree?
This is certainly a frequently asked question and has resulted in the creation of The Recommended (Tree) Species for Ogallala and Vicinity book that we prepared and regularly update. You can find the locations of this document by clicking on its cover on the Home page. For more specific information, please email or contact me directly. My responses are always site specific and I will be glad to share information that appropriately answers your questions.

Is a water pond a feature that can function through the winter months in our area?
Water ponds can be a great joy or a tremendous headache!!  Yes, indeed ponds can be a beautiful winter feature if they are correctly developed and installed from conception.  Designing your pond for your specific site determines depth, shape, pump type and many other details.  We have fish in our pond and it runs year around.  I will be glad to work with you on design and installation ideas.

Can you create a landscape design for the average homeowner’s budget?
A design is created jointly with the site owner and Wolf Landscape Design.  A landscape design can cost nothing or thousands of dollars.  My recommendation is to have some ideas regarding your "dream" oasis, then we can talk.  We have installed designs that are simply a single planting as well as designs that cost thousands of dollars.

Do you offer free consultations to discuss landscape designs?
Wolf Landscape Design is always willing to have a free initial conversation regarding the scope of the desired project.  This can happen over the phone, in person or by email.

What type of full sun perennials grow best in this area and provide vibrant color through the summer.
Full sun perennials are a primary part of our design work.  We are certainly fortunate in west-central Nebraska to be able to grow many varieties.  Depending on your soil type, sun strength and water availability, the list of perennials in your landscape design can be quite long.  Wolf Landscape Design has access to all varieties that thrive in this area.  A brief review of your site can help determine which types will do best and give you a great show year after year.
