"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."

"These guys are flat out nails. No one wants to power-wash their house but it is necessary to protect the investment. Summerlin made this a no thought- no brainer that I never had to think twice about. They even called to tell me they were running 20 minutes late,,,,,try getting that out of a any other service,,,Spectrum Im talking to you. Summerlin had the latest equipment and performed a hot wash on our place that got all the mold and dirt off with no harmful soap for the landscape. Thank you again for the excellent service."

"It all started with a vision. The property I purchased for my rv was in a new development in the mountains of Murphy, NC. I had definite ideas of what I wanted and went on an extensive search for the right company to do my work. I landed on ER Walls and upon my initial meet with Art in their Murphy office an immediate connection was formed. The next day Art showed up to discuss the scope of work. Little did I know what was about to take place. The first thing he did was launch his drone to get a good overall view of the property, which he would later use to give me a complete rendering of the proposed work. We discussed the options, but what really stood out to me was the knowledge Art brings to the table. I had erosion problems and he came up with a great solution, so grading and a retaining wall was first on the list. I wanted a 35 x 10 paver patio, so again recommendations were made and a decision was made. Next I wanted a 14 x 24 deck built, the back 12 feet was to be elevated 10 feet up off the ground in the sloped area along my tree line of the property for my screen room to sit on. I wanted the feel of a tree house and once again no problem, Art had a solution and that was added to the list. Next on the list was my fire pit, but the challenge there was the elevation. I was definite where it needed to go, but the slope of the land posed challenges. Art said "no problem" and with that said the site was excavated and the fire pit was installed. I was wanting sod and landscaping which meant I needed irrigation. we discussed the layout and irrigation was added to the list. Next was grading and leveling for my rv pad along with 2 drive ways that needed to be installed. I also wanted metal edging along each of the drive ways and along the road to border the gravel and sod, which the guys did an excellent job on that as well. I was on site for the entire project watching his crew bring my vision to life. His guys are nothing less than amazing. I gave them a blank canvas and they went to work every day proving to me I made the right decision. As you can see ER Walls is truly a one stop shop, able to provide quality work, timely jobs and outstanding results. I highly recommend you connect with them, you won't be disappointed."

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

The best time to plant a tree is in the spring, so the roots have time to grow into the surrounding soil before winter sets in. Some people recommend planting in the late fall. However, planting in the spring reduces the stress on the tree, as it will be emerging from dormancy, giving it the full spring and summer ahead to acclimate and put down roots into the soil.

Pavers are one of the most affordable methods of creating an elevated outdoor space. Gravel is an equally affordable alternative. If your budget permits, you can look into building a permeable driveway to ensure proper drainage. Grid pavers, pervious concrete, brick, and brick pavement are all effective materials. Permeable driveways are great options, especially if you live in an area with heavy rainstorms.

The truth is, there really is no such thing as a 100% deer-proof plant. Deer will decimate even the prickliest flora if they’re hungry enough. However, there are plenty of beautiful plants that deer don’t necessarily enjoy. These include thistles, wisteria vines, sword ferns, and beautyberries.

Deer are herbivores, and they love vegetable gardens as much as Peter Rabbit. If you don’t want to fence in your entire property, consider creating an attractive raised-bed veggie garden with mesh fencing around it to keep out deer and other critters.

During the fall, you’re likely to see foliage in stunning shades of orange, red, yellow, and brown. These colors emerge because of a seasonal decline in the pigment chlorophyll that makes leaves green.

Hedge plants are available in almost every size, from seedlings to fully mature, six-foot-tall shrubs. Planting smaller plants is much easier and more cost-effective. However, it can take years for the plants to reach maturity and create a full hedge. Garden centers and specialty retailers sometimes offer three to four-foot wide plants that you can simply plant next to each other for an instant full hedge.
