"Needed some stump grinding done. He was professional and very reasonably priced and was able to fit me in quickly. Cleaned up after the job also which other estimates I had gotten did not include clean up. I also had him give me an estimate and will be coming back for landscaping cleanup, edging and mulching. Very hard worker, polite and professional. Would recommend!!"

"Knowledgeable, dedicated to the project now matter obstacles, i.e. hired to replace 42' of 55 year old clay waste tile. Had to deal with recently cut large tree removing stump, gas line recently installed somewhat On top of a water line on top of the waste line 7.5' deep...and then 5 hours of rain. The only organization to use for such a plumbing job. Thank you to all involved."

"I am extremely satisfied with the work ZL Property Services did for me! They did a pond and snow plowing for me. Their professionalism, quality of work, and attention to detail exceeded my expectations. They did an excellent job from start to finish, and I couldn?t be happier with the results. I would highly recommend ZL Property Services to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality work. I would and will absolutely use them again!"

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

It depends. Smaller, younger trees take longer to mature, but they're more resilient, their roots don't get as damaged during transplanting, and they recover faster. Plus, they're much more affordable to plant, and it's possible to DIY the planting. 

On the other hand, mature trees produce fruit faster and provide more shade and privacy immediately. Ideally, a small or medium tree is the better choice if you can wait a few years for it to mature. But if you need immediate maturity, a larger tree is the only option.

Before you begin landscaping with rocks, put down a weed barrier or landscape fabric to prevent pesky weeds from poking through. 

You may need to lay sod on the areas you dug up once you get the okay from the contractor. It will take about 30 to 45 days for the sod to take root. Consult a local sod installer to get an accurate estimate of the timeline of your specific yard-enhancement project.

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.

The landscaping elements that add the most value are often the basics. A well-maintained, attractive lawn can have a return on investment (ROI) of up to 217%. Routine lawn maintenance, such as edging and mulching, can provide an ROI of over 100%. Other high-value projects include upgrading your front walkway, which can offer a 100% ROI, and planting trees. Projects like adding decks, patios, outdoor lighting, irrigation systems, fire pits, and outdoor kitchens also add value and enjoyment, though their direct financial ROI may be less than 100% in some cases.
