Having ever travelled in Nebraska in spring or fall, you are apt to have remarked how the trees appear as much to make the landscape as the plains and the hills. They are quietly strong, enduring, salty, and rooted to the soil. It is not a coincidence. Native Nebraska trees are not only decorative, they are also accentuated of this state, and they benefit home landscapes in a practical way.

It does not matter whether you are overhauling your yard completely or you simply wish to provide some shade and depth; the decision to use area trees is not only smarter, but the correct choice as well.

Some Nebraska Favorites

You have choices when deciding on local trees. Some of the proven favorites include:

Eastern Red Cedar – Durable evergreen that provides privacy and winter interest.

Bur Oak – Slow-growing but incredibly long-lasting. A shade tree that will last.

American Linden (Basswood) – Summer scent and lovely shape throughout the year.

Hackberry – Hard and easy to care for. Best used for large open areas.

Red Maple – especially beautiful in autumn, with bright red foliage that lights up the block.

Tree Installation That Works for Your Yard

Planting trees is not digging a hole and dropping something in it. Tree installation at BCB Landscaping involves finding the right plants and shrubs for the right location. That means ensuring soil compatibility, sunlight exposure, drainage, and the possibility of growth in the future. The objective is planting trees that will remain healthy, not temporarily indulge but decades later.

And if you're searching online for tree nurserys near me, BCB can help make that simple for you, too. They offer good, locally-grown trees in addition to professional advice on where, when, and how to plant them.

The Long View

Planting a tree is not a Band-Aid; the tree is a long-term investment. But native trees will someday give you shade, protection, fresher air, softer soil, and lots of character. Maybe you need a natural screen of privacy, maybe you only want your yard to be more rooted in Nebraska history. Anyway, indigenous trees are a clever and beneficial decision. Willing to sow something that will last? Why not begin with a tree?
