"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 !"

"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!"

"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!"

"Ryan does excellent work! He did two jobs for us. The first was a smaller job, replacing the screens on our screened-in porch. We had had the screens done before and they kept coming loose. Since Ryan fixed them, they are staying in place no problem. The second job was a substantially larger job. We have a stone driveway that kept washing out with the rains. Not only did Ryan fix the washed-out section but he put in a culvert and drainage system that works perfectly! Ryan was always on time and on point and the price was certainly reasonable. I know he can do many jobs besides landscaping and we will be using him for all our jobs, landscaping and otherwise, going forward."

Landscaping FAQs, answered by experts

Unless it only rains once in a blue moon where you live, you’re going to want water-loving plants in your garden bed or pot. A few ideas for plants that aren’t super fast-growing (meaning they’re good in pots or near foundations) and can handle a lot of standing water include: 

  • Acorus (Sweet flag)

  • Colocasia esculenta (Taro or elephant ear): In many climates, these are annuals, making them less desirable because you need to adjust the chain again after each replant.

  • Equisetum scirpoides (Dwarf horsetail rush): non-dwarf varieties of horsetail are fast growers and can take over quickly.

  • Juncus effusus (Curly rush)

  • Osmunda regalis (Royal fern): Royal fern can grow quickly but can also handle being crowded, making them good container plants.

As with anything you do near your foundation, you’ll want to ensure proper drainage when you plant your foundation beds. Your drainage should run downhill from the highest point against your foundation to avoid water intrusion and incurring expensive foundation repair costs.

Landscape design can be a simple service that includes a drawing or visual representation of how your yard can be set up and optimized for your intended purposes. But it can also include all of the manual labor to make your vision a reality. When you speak with your landscape designer, ensure everyone understands the specific services you want. Some add-on services may include the following:

  • Sourcing and delivery of raw materials

  • Professional installation of features, including pergolas, decks, and pathways

  • Drainage system design

  • Recommendations for specific plants and trees

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.

Yes, rock gardens do need water. That said, they typically require less regular watering and, instead, more occasional, deep watering since the rocks trap moisture for longer than mulch. Make sure you don’t water your rock garden too much during the winter.
