Jeffrey has amazing knowledge and creativity, and the work crews are hard working, polite and meticulous. What a team! **★★★★★ — Rod Blecha, Aug. 2019** > We needed landscaping in our backyard and had seen some work done by UPL in the area and wanted something similar. We talked to Bruce Williams and he drew up a plan for what we wanted. They completed the project in one day and it turned out even better than we expected, and the cost was in the price range we wanted. We highly recommend UPL and will use them for any further landscaping needs. **★★★★★ — Deb G, Aug. 2019** > Dylan has been maintaining my landscaping for several years. He responds quickly and is highly knowledgeable and professional. He has made my backyard into a beautiful private oasis. I highly recommend him! **★★★★★ — Norma Vorthmann, Aug. 2019** > It was a pleasure working with Dylan. The planning process for what went where went smoothly. Dylan listened to our preferences and incorporated three shrubs that we saved. He and his workers were polite and friendly. When the landscaping was complete they left the areas clean and tidy. We are looking forward to watching the plants to grow into a beautiful landscape in the front and back of our house. **★★★★★ — Beth Rudner, June 2019** > I am so happy with the service (2 years in a row) by Urban Prairie. Last year we had them revamp our entire landscaping after we bought our house. They were affordable and great to deal with. This year it was time for a spring clean-up and they were so helpful getting us scheduled and taken care of. Dylan is quick to respond and we will continue to do business with them in the future. **★★★★★ — Charlie Faulk, June 2019** > Urban Prairie Landesign has been our landscaping specialist since 2010. They have provided services to our 9 locations, including spring/fall clean up. As well as overseeing and maintaining all of our landscaping needs. The services we have received have been excellent and we would recommend them! **★★★★★ — Robert MacDonald, May 2019** > I am very pleased with the great work provided by Urban Prarie Landesign on our spring cleanup. I am proud to say Bobby, Dillon, Annie and their many workers perform their jobs in a very professional manner. I am a very satisfied customer, pleased with their work and recommend them to my friends. **★★★★★ — HU-950594680, April 2019** > We started working with Dylan about a year ago when we moved into our new home - he has been fantastic and we appreciate his professionalism, honesty and great work. They are always up front about costs and fairly priced. They do a really great job! **★★★★★ — Carole Gragert, April 2019** > I started working with Bobby over 16 years ago to design and landscape my yard. They did a beautiful job and were great to work with. I continue to use them for Spring and Fall cleanup as well as any needs that arise. They are reliable, knowledgeable, easy to work and communicate with. I highly recommend them for their ongoing excellent service. **★★★★★ — Grant Matthies, April 2019** > I have used Bobby and the team at UPL for many years. Would highly recommend them for your spring and fall cleanup as well as any landscape project big of small. Always complete the work in a timely and very professional way. **★★★★★ — Hong Zheng, April 2019** > We enjoyed working with Dylan and crew! They were knowledgeable and hard working, we will continue working with them! Thanks for make the Property beautiful, **★★ — E Maguire, Aug. 2018** > We hired Bobby Monzingo to design our landscape and supervise the flower bed prep and the installation of our underground drain tile, limestone steps and small retaining walls. We chose to plant the perennials ourselves as a retirement hobby. We liked the colors and plants he selected and now that we have a well developed landscape appreciate the placement of evergreen trees. > > There were several issues that presented themselves during the first few years. Some of the plants could not survive the amount of sun they were exposed to and after replanting over and over, selected a variant of the plants as suggested by the local garden center. These are doing well. In addition, some of the existing trees and one of the evergreens are now affecting the amount of sun the roses get and am considering replacing them with other plants. > > The biggest and most expensive issue we had was with the stone steps Bobby recommended. He suggested that we order the stones from a company (no longer in existence) north of NP Dodge Park and have them delivered. Within a few years these started cracking making them loose and dangerous to walk on. I had Bobby come out to look at them but he did not fix them. The retaining walls also were failing. We didn't find out until later that all of these hardscapes had not been installed to industry standards and that the Nebraska limestone was known to be a poor quality as compared to that found in Kansas. When we were getting bids to replace the retaining wall and fix the steps, we were told that they were installed improperly without gravel, etc. backing or the proper base. Finally, several years ago several downspout drain tiles backed up and we couldn't find some of the terminations points. After digging them up we located one that was buried in the soil with no pea gravel, no outlet and pointing down into the ground. No surprise, it was filled with debris and roots. > > We counted on Bobby to supervise our project or at least to do quality assurance inspections to insure that everything met his standards. **Comment from Urban Prairie Landesign:** > Hi Evonne, > > Thank you for reaching out to Urban Prairie Landesign to voice your concerns. In 2005, Bobby Monzingo did create a design for you, but we would like to remind you that he was not "hired" because you never paid for the design, and you did not pay to have us install this project. Bobby was involved in material recommendations and the installation of some soil work for your builder, however you never paid us to install this project and you never paid Bobby to act as a general manager to oversee your contractors. We highly advise you to take up your concerns and frustrations with the contractor you hired as we cannot be held responsible for anything we did not personally install. This is why Bobby did not fix anything when he came out to meet with you, because we never actually installed this project, which is why there is no guarantee or warranty. If you have any further questions or concerns, please give our office a call at 402-590-2040. Thank you! ## Selected projects - [Custom Landscape with Flagstone Walkway, Paver Patio, and Fire Pit](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/custom-landscape-with-flagstone-walkway-paver-patio-and-fire-pit-pj-vj~7440050) - Location: Omaha, NE - Photos: 7 - [Unique Stone Outcropping & New Home Landscaping](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/unique-stone-outcropping-and-new-home-landscaping-pj-vj~7432538) - Location: Omaha, NE - Photos: 7 - [Stunning Pool and Backyard Landscape](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/stunning-pool-and-backyard-landscape-pj-vj~7488630) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 8 - [Backyard Oasis](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/backyard-oasis-pj-vj~7488615) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 15 - [Modern Backyard Gathering Space](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-backyard-gathering-space-pj-vj~7488633) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 10 - [Two Dimensional Retaining Wall Design and Installation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/two-dimensional-retaining-wall-design-and-installation-pj-vj~7440053) - Location: Omaha, NE - Photos: 4 - [Tranquil Setting with Patio, Firepit, Seating Areas, and More](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/tranquil-setting-with-patio-firepit-seating-areas-and-more-pj-vj~7488623) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 7 - [Entertainer's Dream](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/entertainer-s-dream-pj-vj~2407467) - Location: Omaha, NE - Photos: 17 - [Perfect Front Yard Water Feature](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/perfect-front-yard-water-feature-pj-vj~7488626) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - [Transitional Backyard \| Outdoor Kitchen & Firepit](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/transitional-backyard-outdoor-kitchen-and-firepit-pj-vj~2407463) - Location: Omaha, NE - Photos: 13 - [Modern Fire Pit & Deck](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-fire-pit-and-deck-pj-vj~2407558) - Location: Omaha, NE - Photos: 4 - [Outdoor Landscape Lighting](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/outdoor-landscape-lighting-pj-vj~2686423) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - [Tranquil Entry & Backyard](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/tranquil-entry-and-backyard-pj-vj~2407484) - Location: Omaha, NE - Photos: 8 - [Lakefront Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lakefront-home-pj-vj~2407474) - Location: Omaha, NE - Photos: 6 - [Expansive Landscape Design](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/expansive-landscape-design-pj-vj~2407564) - Location: Omaha, NE - Photos: 20 - [Modern Firepit](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-firepit-pj-vj~2407471) - Location: Omaha, NE - Photos: 2 - [Full Landscape Renovation \| Pool, Fire pit & Basketball Court](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/full-landscape-renovation-pool-fire-pit-and-basketball-court-pj-vj~2407473) - Location: Omaha, NE - Photos: 8 - [Sideyard & Secluded Fire Pit](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/sideyard-and-secluded-fire-pit-pj-vj~2407479) - Location: Omaha, NE - Photos: 11 - [Front Entryway Landscape](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/front-entryway-landscape-pj-vj~2362998) - Location: Omaha, NE - Photos: 10 - [Patios & Walkways](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/patios-and-walkways-pj-vj~2362976) - Location: Omaha, NE - Photos: 26 [See all 37 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/landscape-contractors/urban-prairie-landesign-pfvwus-pf~1703180581) --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
