"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."

"There was only one category to choose, but Hipps does several things and does them well including seeding, spring/fall clean up, fall leaf pick up and overall landscape management. And has safe, modern, well maintained equipment to do so. I highly recommend Hipps especially for businesses. As a business owner you donâ t have time or energy to be chasing after unreliable services. With Hipps, itâ s super easy; set it up, itâ s on auto-pilot and you can rest assured the service will be done right, on time, and reliably. Truly value for money."

"Jesse and his crew were outstanding. Jesse was careful to match the materials from the existing deck so the stairs matched perfectly. This increased the quote considerably. However, I cannot say enough about the professionalism, and his ability to deliver exactly what the customer envisioned. His crew was amazing. These custom made steps are a beautiful finish to the transformation of my small back yard. Thank you Jesse and crew!"

"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."

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

A scattering of leaves won’t pose a problem through the winter, but a thicker layer of leaves may not decompose before the first frost and can instead weigh down your grass and harbor mold or fungi. A thick layer of leaves also cuts off light and air that grass needs to grow. That’s why we suggest removing thick leaf layers within several days if possible. If your lawn goes dormant over the winter and snow has already caught up with you, then remove the leaves in early spring before your grass-growing season starts so your lawn can thrive.

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.

Professional lakefront landscaping addresses environmental factors such as water level fluctuations, erosion control, and native plant suitability. Regular maintenance includes pruning, fertilization, and ensuring drainage systems function well.

You should plant trees at least 15 to 20 feet away from your house, and more if the tree will grow large and spread its limbs. Trees pose several dangers to houses when planted too close. They can litter the roof with leaves and branches, create fire hazards, make a ladder for larger pests, and even damage the foundation as their roots grow.

A half inch above ground level is ideal for metal edging. This provides enough depth for the edging to hold in place and enough height to keep in most landscaping materials (like mulch or gravel). If you install edging too high off the ground, it will stand out from your landscaping and pose a tripping risk. If you install it too low, your ground cover won’t stay in place.
