Dee-sign Landscaping & Garden Shop is a premier Omaha landscaping company, specializing in high end landscaping and plant material. We are proud to be a female owned and operated company.
We began building our business in 1999, and have proudly served our community of Omaha for over 20 years, including many residential and commercial properties across the Omaha area.
We love helping our neighbors in the Benson, Dundee, and Country Club neighborhoods beautify their homes and businesses, and also work with many clients in other neighborhoods across the Omaha area. As a complement to our workmanship, nearly 75% of our new projects come from client referrals.
Our Garden Center has incredible and unusual plant material as well as one of a kind trellises, pottery, and garden accessories.
Dee purchased the property at 8530 Blondo Street in 1999–and this little strip of land, tucked away along a busy street, was transformed into Dee-sign Landscaping and Garden Shop–home of our beloved garden center and landscape design office. In 2015 Dee sold the business to her partner Anna, who had been working with her since the shop opened.
We are Dee-sign Landscaping because of Dee. Landscape designers became Landscape Dee-signers when they joined her team. Although Dee is now retired, her partner (who has been with her since the beginning) kept the name Dee-sign because Anna-sign just didn't sound right! You say tomato, I say tomatoe. You say Design, We say Dee-sign.
About the Landscape Designers
-
Anna
Anna began as a Fine Arts major who then opted to use her art in Landscaping. She earned three Horticultural Science degrees (with Honors) in Nursery Management, Floral Design, and Landscape Design. She has been learning and growing with Dee-sign for over 20 years. Anna considers landscaping to be sculpting with walls and patios and painting with plants.
As the owner of Dee-sign, Anna keeps herself busy with making sure everything runs smoothly–both with our landscaping projects, and at the garden shop. Though she doesn’t get the chance to design as many landscapes as she once did, creating beautiful outdoor spaces is still her passion.
-
Missy
Missy has worked in nurseries nearly her entire adult life. She joined the Dee-sign team over 10 years ago as a nursery manager. Having a strong interest in the design aspect of the business, she went back to school and completed the needed classes to begin her designing career. She worked closely with Dee and Anna for a few years as she learned the ins and outs of landscaped design. Now, Missy has developed into an incredible designer with great skills and knowledge of her own.
-
Laura
Laura received her Bachelors in Horticultural Science, with an emphasis on Landscape Design, from UNL. Similar to Anna, she began her education in Fine Arts before switching to Horticulture. Beginning as a Designer's Assistant, Laura quickly learned the ropes at Dee-sign and has developed a uniquely beautiful style in her designs. While interning for Lincoln Parks and Recreation, she cultivated her interest in native and incredibly hardy plant material. Laura is looking to make the world a more beautiful place through thoughtful design, management, and conservation.

Al
Al started his time with Dee-sign as a nursery associate--only after he had been with us for a while did we discover his wealth of plant knowledge, and that he had worked in the nursery industry for most of his adult life! Al is now the Plant Health Manager and is responsible for keeping all of our plants happy and healthy. Al is also in charge of our expanding chemical maintenance/pest management division, where he addresses a variety of pest infestations and disease issues in our clients' landscapes.
-
Margo
Margo spent much of her adult life as a bartender – which gave her the opportunity to listen and learn from all sorts of different people. In 2020, she gave up tending bar to study small market farming at Metro Community College. Margo is now our Assistant Nursery Manager. Her ability to communicate with people and make quick, on the spot decisions, paired with her enthusiasm for organic growing practices, make her an invaluable part of the nursery team. Margo is especially passionate about growing her own food, and would love to chat with you about your vegetable plot, and share some tips for sustainable practices you can incorporate to improve the health of your garden.
-
Robbie
Robbie’s background is in plant production, growing a range of plants both in the greenhouse and outdoor settings. At Dee-sign, Robbie is the Plant Doctor. He ensures all of the nursery plants are healthy and well cared for, keeping a watchful eye out for signs of stress or disease, and addressing any problems that may arise. He also takes care of our houseplant selection. His fun, upbeat attitude is contagious, and his attention to detail and willingness to jump in and help out wherever he is needed are great assets at the nursery.
