Family Owned & Operated Lawn Care & Landscaping
Kanger Lawns started as a high school mowing operation in Papillion and has spent the years since becoming a full-service outdoor company for the Omaha metro. Mowing, fertilizing, aeration, seasonal cleanups, snow clearing, and holiday lighting all run out of the same shop with the same crews, which is the part most homeowners care about. One company, one schedule, twelve months a year.
Founded by Cody Kanger, a Water Feature Specialist with a deep-rooted connection to Omaha, NE, the business has grown into a full provider of weekly mowing and lawn maintenance, water features, and outdoor beautification projects. Together with his wife, Libby Kanger, the two bring a personal touch to every property, and the company has stayed deliberately residential rather than chasing commercial contracts. That means the person who quotes your yard is accountable for it, and there is no franchise office in another state setting the standards.
About Cody Kanger
Born in 1993 in Omaha, NE, Cody's journey into the world of water features and lawn care began in his youth, growing up in Omaha and later on an acreage south of Plattsmouth, NE. A graduate of Creighton Prep High School and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, where he earned both his Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mechanics, Cody has always been fascinated by how things work. This curiosity and love for engineering led him to explore various internships, from CNH Industrial to the Nebraska Tractor Test Lab at UNL, gaining invaluable experience in mechanical design and metal 3D printing.
After completing his education and marrying his high school sweetheart, Libby, in 2019, Cody returned to his home base in Papillion, bringing his engineering expertise and entrepreneurial spirit to the foundation of Kanger Lawns and Water Features. His technical background and hands-on experience in additive technologies and surface treatments have uniquely positioned him to design and implement water features that are not only visually captivating but also structurally sound and sustainable.
About Libby Kanger

Our Services & Commitment
Most of what we do is the ordinary, unglamorous work that keeps a property looking cared for: the cut that happens on time every week, the feeding that goes down before the weeds germinate rather than after, the cleanup that gets finished before the first snow lands on it. Water features are the specialty Cody built the business around, but they sit on top of a foundation of reliable maintenance rather than replacing it. Our team delivers personalized solutions from the first visit through ongoing lawn care and maintenance, so your outdoor retreat stays in the condition you paid for.

Artistic Water Features
Our approach to water features goes beyond the standard; we offer custom, one-of-a-kind creations that are true pieces of art. Each design is meticulously crafted to harmonize with your landscape, ensuring that the beauty of your outdoor space is enhanced rather than overshadowed. Our artistic water features serve as the centerpiece of your garden, reflecting your style and the essence of your home.

Engineering Behind the Work
Cody holds a Bachelor's and Master's in Mechanical Engineering from UNL, and that training shows up in how properties get measured, how routes get scheduled, and how equipment gets specified. Lot sizes come from satellite measurement rather than a walk-around guess, service days are set by route density so your crew arrives at a predictable time, and the machines are chosen for the conditions they actually work in. Precision is not a marketing word here. It is the reason the schedule holds through a season.
-
Year-Round Coverage Under One Roof
The gap most homeowners hit arrives in November, when the lawn company stops and a separate plow operator takes over with different billing, different expectations, and different reliability on the morning it matters. We cover the full calendar: mowing and feeding from spring through fall, cleanups at both ends of the season, snow and ice clearing through winter, and holiday lighting installed and taken down in between. One point of contact for all of it, with a crew that already knows the property.
-
Tailored Care Plans
Understanding that each outdoor space has its unique needs, we offer personalized service and maintenance plans designed to keep your retreat in pristine condition year-round. Whether it is routine upkeep, seasonal yard cleanups, or specific repairs, our care plans keep your investment protected year round.
