"ZR Landscaping transformed the mud pit that was our backyard into a beautiful patio with new landscaping and a retaining wall. The team showed up regularly and worked extremely hard each day to finish within two weeks. Communication and customer service were excellent throughout the entire process and the team left our yard and driveway clean afterwards."

"Elijah did an excellent job installing multiple types of drains in my yard and landscaping. He had to be a champion shoveler to get through some of the hard clay and root systems! He is hard working and honest and I will be using him for future projects."

"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."

"Gibson's Grading and Construction team did an excellent job! We would highly recommend them to anyone who needs help from someone who actually knows what they’re doing! We started off with a “simple” flooring and countertop quote which turned into a complete remodel once it was all said and done. They literally made this house our dream home. We have the utmost respect and faith in David and Joe’s ability and knowledge that we hired them to do it all: demo/electric/plumbing/structure-floor support/wood floor installation/countertops/new doors and so much more. These two are more than friends, they’re now family - and we are absolutely blessed to be lucky enough to cross paths when they weren’t already booked up saving someone else. We’ll have them come back in the spring for grading, some seriously overgrown landscaping and back deck install. Don’t wait another minute… give them a call!"

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

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.

It is possible to DIY complete hardscaping projects, but in most cases, hiring a professional is best to get the job done correctly. Hardscaping—including installing patios, decks, retaining walls, walkways, and water features—is challenging and time-consuming, so the money you spend on a professional is typically worth it. Not only will the quality be better, but you could avoid problems that come along with a lack of hardscaping experience, like drainage issues that can lead to costly foundation damage and leaks in your home.

A green home is one that focuses on conservation, with the goal often being net-zero carbon emissions and self-sustainability. It will often include some kind of self-generation equipment, like solar panels or a small wind turbine, high-efficiency electrical components and mechanicals, and high-quality insulation and air sealing to reduce the loss of conditioned air. Many green homes also include xeriscaping or rainwater collection to cut down on drainage and water consumption.

The best size rock for your landscaping depends on the design, as different boulders serve different purposes. If you want to group boulders to create a natural-looking cluster, you’ll need a range of sizes. Otherwise, here are some suggestions:

  • Small boulders (smaller than 12 inches across): Best for landscape edging and fire pits 

  • Medium boulders (12–24 inches): Best for retaining walls and water features

  • Large boulders (more than 24 inches): Best as standalone landscaping features, steps, or walkways.

Of course, you can mix and match sizes to create a unique display.

Since you’ll likely be digging a trench to install your yard drainage system, this is a good time to complete other tasks that involve digging up your yard, including: Sprinkler system installation Lawn reseeding Regrading your yard Redesigning your landscaping If your drain is under a walkway or driveway, your contractor must also remove those materials. This is a great time to consider upgrading your hardscaping features, especially if they’re nearing the end of their life span.
