"There is no way to adequately say what a great job ZR Landscaping did on our home. From designing the layout of our front yard all the way to cleanup at completion everything was done professionally and completed as promised. Zac was attentive to our needs and desires and the crew doing the install was wonderful. They had great work ethic and were always courteous, even when I asked them to change out a couple of boulders. We will be doing some work in our side yard in the near future and ZR Landscaping will be the only company we will use."

"Elijah was honest and very courteous when visiting our house for the estimate. He himself worked very hard and was always present when work was being done by others. All jobs were completed per the professional estimate we received, and I highly recommend that you speak to this young man if you need any landscaping work done."

"I called to set up a repair for my sprinkler system for some new sod I was going to get done. Mike mentioned that he did landscaping as well and began to give me some ideas beyond new sod. I was impressed with his passion and knowledge. I now have a yard I am proud of and have received many compliments. I highly recommend Green Horizons !"

"The team was amazing. I have had a retaining wall down since the day of Helene. They completed my job in a short amount of time, cleaned up and did a beautiful job in replacing my retaining wall. Very courteous and took great care with my home. These guys worked all day in the rain to get the job done. Thank you!"

"Pat, Jim, and his team were a pleasure to work with. Jim designed our space and designed it with all of the features we wanted. Each work day, they arrived to the job site on time and worked **** ** our job. After the job was completed, Jim came by our home to check the patio after it had rained to make sure there weren't any spots that needed to be fixed. We never had any issues during the construction and would strongly recommend them to everyone. They stand behind their work and do a great job."

"I had such a mess! The first time my finished basement flooded it came in the door. The next TWO times it came in the back wall at the ground level--after I had the huge pool filled in. David designed a solution for the side yard that included diverting the water down the driveway and into the street drain. He did a gravel-filled drain across the end of the drive. He was going to do a driveway channel drain and grate across the drive in front of the garage and exterior door but found there was a sewage pipe there, so he designed another gravel drain there. The backyard got multiple drains at different levels down the length of the yard. As soon as that was complete, the side of the house, which was ALWAYS wet, dried out completely! David is so professional. He explains his plans in depth so you know what's going to happen. He put down grass seed and straw, moved and then replanted plants, and had to dispose of huge pieces of cement that came out of the yard where the pool was. I can't say how pleased I am to have my house safeguarded. David is the real deal."

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

Late August, September, and mid-October are the ideal months for planting a young tree. However, the best time to plant a tree ultimately depends on when the weather transitions to fall-like conditions and eventually winter frost. As long as the hottest days of summer have passed and the ground hasn’t frozen yet, you can still successfully plant trees.

In most cases, buying plants from a local greenhouse or nursery is well worth the investment, even though they tend to be a bit more expensive than those at a home improvement store. Employees at nurseries are usually well-versed in gardening and understand how the climate in your area affects different plants. They can help you make selections based on your skill level and time commitment to your landscaping, and they can provide detailed care instructions and advice to help keep your plants alive and diagnose and treat issues like pest infestation and illness.

The best time to plant a privet hedge is autumn, ideally October or early November. Fall is the best time to plant privet hedges because young plants need plenty of water to jump-start their growth, and it typically rains more during this season. However, you can also successfully plant privets in the spring.

The best type of rock for landscaping depends on your specific project and needs, as different rocks are suited for different applications. For covering large areas or creating an affordable driveway, consider gravel, but note that it can wash away in flowing water. For water features, river rocks are a good option. Flagstone and cobblestone are ideal for aesthetically pleasing patios and walkways. If you are building a stone wall, fieldstone or small boulders are up to the task. Large boulders and landscape rocks work well as statement pieces, to fill empty space, or to indicate boundaries, but be mindful that they can overwhelm smaller gardens. The best approach is to first define your landscaping project and then select the rock type that best fits that purpose.

Monkey grass makes a beautiful, low-maintenance ground cover, particularly in shadier areas where other grasses don’t receive enough sunlight to grow. It’s also excellent for edging walkways, bordering flower beds, and accenting rock gardens. You can grow it as a container plant, as well, which is a perfect solution for those who love its foliage but want to contain the spread.
