"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."

"I contacted Angie’s list on a Saturday and Sunday morning he arrived with his crew. He designed a waterfall and pond in my yard that desperately needed help. The price was reasonable and included all the supplies. He was very friendly and I am VERY pleased with the outcome. Thanks so much! I highly recommend and would hire him again for landscaping."

"Highly recommend Pinehurst Turf Pros. They were great to work with and communicated throughout the entire process. They do meticulous work and took their time to make our project look great. Along with the great job of installing our turf, they did an outstanding job of cleaning up after the work was done and I truly appreciated the effort make things like they were before they arrived. Great people to work with and they were also great with letting our dogs join them at times so they could use the backyard. Quality work at a reasonable and fair price."

"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

Plant a peach tree right at the end of your local dormancy period, likely at the very end of winter after the last frost when you can dig into the soft soil. Plan your backyard gardening season, including when planting peach trees, based on the frost schedule predicted in your local hardiness zone.

Plant privet hedges at least 1 foot apart in a trench about 2 feet wide and 2 feet deep. It’s important to space privet hedges relatively far apart due to how quickly they grow to significant sizes and heights. You don’t want to crowd privet plants, or they could overcrowd each other, causing unwanted damage.

There are two main times of year to apply mulch: mid to late spring and late fall. Spreading mulch in mid to late spring helps protect new seedlings as the soil warms up. It's best to wait until temperatures are steady, as mulching too early in the spring can slow down the soil's warming process and hinder plant growth. Fall mulching is also beneficial, as it insulates the soil and helps regulate its temperature when the first frosts arrive.

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.

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.
