"There is no way to adequately say what a great job ZR Landscaping did on our home. From designing the layout of our front yard all the way to cleanup at completion everything was done professionally and completed as promised. Zac was attentive to our needs and desires and the crew doing the install was wonderful. They had great work ethic and were always courteous, even when I asked them to change out a couple of boulders. We will be doing some work in our side yard in the near future and ZR Landscaping will be the only company we will use."

"Brad Skinner and his team provide excellent services in the delivery and installation of 18 pallets of sod in my yard. He kept me informed on the timing of the delivery, called ahead to verify that i flagged the sprinkler heads, fully prepped the subsurface. Installation was done in one day. Power-washed our drive afterwards. He also offered the best pricing. Stand-up guy. Does what he says he will do plus more."

"I am highly satisfied with the job that they did. I just moved in a new home and needed a lawn cutting for my new fence to be installed. I appreciate them being able to do it on such short notice. It was a quality cutting. They cut the proper height. That is very important with the hot weather we are having not to mention the fact I have new sod installed. I can’t say enough good things about their company. Use them and I promise you that you will not be disappointed. Thank you Davis for a job well done."

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

Many ways to landscape a steep slope on a budget exist. Avoiding expensive retaining wall construction is the first step. Consider creating a rocky slope with boulders or large stones, or think about planting perennials that return every year with a single investment. Transplanting small trees from elsewhere on your property is also possible and can help to stabilize steep slopes without purchasing new ones. 

It’s usually best to buy plants from a local greenhouse or nursery yourself, but landscapers are also a reliable option. First, you can choose exactly what plants you want based on their appearance rather than relying on your landscaper to choose. Additionally, while it’s more time-consuming to go buy the plants yourself, you’ll often save money because landscapers charge for delivery and may upcharge the plants. You can also speak to a professional at a nursery to ensure you understand how to care for your plants and get the most long-term value.

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.

If shade is a priority for you, then panting elm trees is a fine choice. A full mature elm tree has enough aesthetic appeal for some folks that it could add value to your home. 

That said, never plant elm trees too close to your home, sewer line, or sidewalks, as their roots can damage these, which can lead to costly repairs.

The most important thing to put under a rock garden is the appropriate soil. The specific soil needed will depend on the type of plants you’re growing as well as the environment you live in. You can also put non-woven or woven fabric under the rocks to add to the garden's structural stability.
