Landmark Landscapes, Inc
My name is Mark Charipar and together with Kasey Olson we are the principals of Landmark Landscapes. Both of us have degrees in horticulture from the University of Nebraska and at least 13 years of experience in the landscaping industry. From 1997 to 2006, I owned Landmark Landscapes in Columbus, Nebarska. In 2006, I moved to the Lincoln area to maintain a close relationship with my son. My work here in Lincoln began as a consultant to Fallbrook and NEBCO Real Estate. From 2007 to 2008, I was Operations Manager and a Designer at Nebarska Nursery and Color Gardens. In 2008, I re-established my own landscaping company here in Lincoln. My energy level and creativity are ever present. I love technically challenging projects and believe in the statement Where there's a will, there's a way. Kasey Olson joined me in January of 2009 and by May he was a partner. Kasey has been a great addition to Landmark Landscapes. His experience in the industry was originally molded by Earl May and Nebarska Nurseries. His energy level compliments that of my own. Together we have built a great team. Give us a call for your next landscaping project.

The drive to Landmark is worth it. The quality of plants and nursery stock is stunning. Prices are in line with other local nurseries, but I can't think of any that match their quality.

We had such a great experience with Landmark on our recent pool project. We weren't completely sure of what we wanted, but Mark was great and worked with us on a design that complimented our pool. The results were spectacular and better than we could have even imagined!

We came looking for a Japanese maple. They had a great selection and the owner was super knowledgable and friendly. We got a beautiful tree and lots of questions answered.

Over the past five years, we have bought several trees and shrubs from Landmark. They are of excellent quality, have a range of varieties and the service is strong. In particular, Travis is knowledgable and responsible. After a tough winter, we only lost a couple of trees and they are standing behind their unique and positive warranty.

Mark, Travis and the entire crew at Landmark have been so incredible to work with. We have purchased a variety of plants, trees and shrubs at Landmark after getting solid advice from Mark and Travis. They have been so kind to answer all of our questions - either in person or via email. They are always willing to spend time helping us pick out just the right materials to enhance our home landscaping.

Everyone at Landmark makes you feel so welcome and comfortable. They have so many beautiful new items in The Refuge - I could definitely spend A LOT of money in The Refuge! My husband and I highly recommend Landmark for all of your landscaping and decorating needs and wants!

Landmark Nursery is worth the drive from Lincoln! This nursery has a great selection of trees on site that are of good quality and nicely sized. Travis was very helpful when picking the tree that was right for our landscaping needs. He answered all of our questions and gave use advice on how to properly care for it in the future. We liked that we could actually pick go through the row of trees and pick the one we wanted.

The crew that installed the tree left no mess behind and were respectful of all lawn surrounding the tree. They worked efficiently, carefully, and it was clear they are experts in landscaping. Definitely recommend checking out this nursery!

Mark and the team did a great job on our backyard. We basically gave them a blank slate and a laundry list of problems. Mark came back with a plan that addressed every one of the issues, in innovative ways we would never have thought of on our own. In the end, Mark and the team gave us a remarkable backyard that we love to spend time in and we can't recommend strongly enough going with Landmark Landscapes for all your projects.

We are truly raving fans of these guys and they've earned our return business. When it comes time for us to landscape our front yard, the only landscaping company we will work with is Landmark Landscapes. Thanks again.

First off I never post reviews, but after working with Mark and Kasey at Landmark I felt compelled
to tell everyone what a joy it was working with their company. From design to the finished product, front yard, back yard, sides, lighting and plant irrigation, great design and layout, everything was done professionally and in a timely manner. I would not hesitate to recommend this company to anyone needing any kind of landscaping done.

Beautiful place in the country, knowledgeable, friendly people, amazing variety and surprisingly great prices on top quality trees.

We first hired Mark to do some Christmas lighting for us and were very impressed with his professionalism and artistic talents. We hired him that first spring to do a cleanup of our landscape and have worked with him the past few years as our landscape needed to change. Mark gives accurate estimates and gets the work done on a timely basis. We feel fortunate to continue working with Landmark Landscapes!

We LOVE our backyard. What started as just a retaining wall and a few plants around our in-ground pool, turned into an awe inspiring relaxation place. I was always a person that thought I could do my own landscaping, it's just plants but Mark and his ideas, WOW. He took our plan and incorporated his ideas and turned our backyard from ordinary to extravagant.

Each and every time we sit outside, we can't believe we actually live here and own it. It surpassed our expectations. One other thing, spend the extra money for the lighting. It truly is a minute cost considering the huge impact it makes at night. It adds not only to the functionality but to the WOW factor. Thank you, Mark and Kasey.

We have known Mark for several years, first meet him while living in Columbus. He did outstanding work, wonderful ideas, reasonable costs and completes the work as described and on time. He recently added several trees and landscaping to the areas around our home. The addition of these items has brought several nice comments from our family and friends. Thanks Mark!
Justin and Kelly Reineke
I can't say enough about Mark and his team at Landmark Landscapes. We had a new construction home and Mark not only drew a magnificent design, but answered all my questions along the way and helped find ideas for our budget. I was also very impressed with how efficiently Kasey and his team made the design come to life. We have received several comments from neighbors and friends and will definitely utilize their services again.
