"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 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."

"After Helene I was washing away when it rained. The guys came out and put up. A retaining wall, put in pipes to keep the water from coming into my yard and also put in a drain to help with the water. I highly recommend these guys to do any kind of landscaping. They are number 1 in my book. Also they were so nice."

"I had a great experience working with Nava Brothers Landscaping. They transformed the slope on my property, removed all the weeds, pine needles, and dead grass, then planted beautiful junipers and laid down mulch to give it a clean, well-maintained look. They also used river rocks to effectively help manage water flow and improve drainage, which was a big concern for me. Everything was done with great attention to detail, and the end result looks amazing. The crew was professional, efficient, and respectful of my property throughout the entire process. I’m very happy with the results and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for high-quality landscaping work!"

Landscaping FAQs, answered by experts

A window flower box should be deep enough that there’s room for a wide selection of plants and the required amount of soil and gravel. Standard flower boxes are 8 inches deep and 8 inches from front to back. Larger is better to increase the variety of plants in the box, but you could run into stability issues as it increases in weight.

You should use mulch because it protects garden soil in a few key ways. This extra layer between the ground and the elements protects against erosion, helps your soil maintain moisture, regulates changes in temperature, adds nutrients as it decomposes, and keeps weeds at bay.

Most experts recommend a quarter-inch layer of compost for best results, and you will need about .77 cubic yards of material per 1,000 square feet. To measure how much compost to use, take the square footage of your yard and multiply it by .77, then divide that number by 1,000.

As long as you’re building a greenhouse, consider the overall look of your backyard. Could it benefit from stone walkways or grading? As long as you’re hiring a hardscaping pro to lay the foundation for a greenhouse, you could tackle those other projects to give your whole yard a glow-up at the same time.

If you live in an area with heavy rain or you like the idea of an extra layer of cushion under your feet, you may want to consider adding additional layers under your grass. There are pads that are purely for comfort and ones that can help accelerate drainage for those heavy rains.
