"5 STAR LANDSCAPING/HARDSCAPING COMPANY!!! LOOK NO FURTHER!! From Zack (the company owner), to Laura (head of office operations), to James (the on-site manager) to the entire crew at the job site----the whole team at ZR Landscaping & Grading is AMAZING to work with!! I found ZR on the Angi site. I called the office and Laura set up a meeting in a timely manner with Zack to visit our home to go over our landscaping/hardscaping needs. Within 15 minutes of touring the property with Zack, my husband and I knew we wanted him to do the work for us----he understood our vision and had terrific ideas about the possibilities for our yard. When we found out that the company had done work for the Biltmore Estate, we were sold! ZR first installed a flagstone patio in the back yard, then a wall and cement pad as an extension off our driveway. They did such an excellent job that we knew we had to engage the team for the â really bigâ job of revamping our front yard. Our front yard is a slope which consisted of a couple of trees, some ill-placed bushes and loads of mulch---basically a hill of mulch. Not pleasing to the eye at all. Plus we had drainage issues. Zack met with us to review the job. I had been doing some research and had come up with a plan----it consisted of a combination of hardscaping and landscaping---and I provided photos of examples I had found online. I wanted terracing, steps, walls, flagstone, and LOADS of varying plants---my dream landscape! Zack understood exactly what we wanted. Our job was scheduled and in the weeks before the start date, I put together my plant â wish listâ . There were over 50 types of plants/shrubs/trees on that list! Laura worked really hard to make the wish list a reality for me. She spent so much time contacting different suppliers to find as many of the plants as possible. It being later in the growing season, this was no easy feat. She researched plant types and varieties and passed along her knowledge to me as well as advice from suppliers. Once all the plants had been purchased, she made sure that the team on-site had a list of what plants were to go in shade versus sun to help organize the placement. Laura went above and beyond as she knew that the plants were the most important part of the whole project for me and I am so indebted to her. The job started on a Monday and the team completed the job in exactly 1 week, even with rain delays and lots of mud---incredible! We now have a grand stone staircase, an upper and a lower natural stone retaining wall, 2 smaller natural stone retaining walls in the middle of the hill which all give the terracing effect we were looking for. The concrete sidewalk that leads to the front porch was transformed into a flagstone walkway and it ties into the stone used for the walls. All of the drainage issues were resolved by the installation of river rock gullies and revamping the old drain system. And did I mention the plants?! ð Loads of wonderful beauties planted. The hill of mulch is no more---it has been replaced by a gorgeous, artistic landscape. If you are looking for a company to go above and beyond, to give you a truly top notch experience, call ZR. You will know it is done right, with integrity and honesty. Thanks for reading!"

"Too Tall was very polite, professional, dependable, and reasonably priced. He did a great job in repairing my yard and reseeding it. My yard was a total disaster after having a new septic drain system installed late in February. The company (Benjamin Franklin Plumbing)that I had hired to replace my drain field was supposed to return my yard back to normal but failed to do so. They are plumbers, not landscapers. I hired Too Tall to come in and re-excavate and reseed my yard. It took him less than 4 hours to complete this and did an excellent job. The grass is now coming in nicely and my yard is smooth and will be very easily mowable. I am very pleased with his work and would highly recommend him to others."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

No, you typically cannot use metal detectors to find your sewer line. Most sewer lines are made of non-metallic materials such as PVC, clay, or cast iron, which are not detectable by standard metal detectors. Metal detectors are designed to locate metallic objects, so they won't be effective for identifying the path of a non-metallic sewer line. To locate your sewer line accurately, it's best to use other methods.

While you can save some money by digging your own pool, you may end up paying more in construction equipment rental fees in the long run. You could, however, focus your DIY energies on lowering the cost of leveling your lawn for your pool or filling in surrounding landscaping after construction.

To locate an underground downspout, you should start by identifying where the above ground gutter drains. Look for an entry point, such as a pipe or elbow leading into the ground. Follow the surface path for signs like depressions, landscaping disruptions, or wet areas after rain. You can use a metal detector or plumber’s snake to trace the pipe underground. For deeper pipes, a professional locator tool or camera inspection may be necessary. Visual markers or utility maps can also guide the search.

Yes. A metal detector is one of the quickest and easiest ways to find your septic tank. However, metal detectors can be too expensive (costing upward of $300 in some cases), and not everyone has a metal detector just lying around. If that’s the case for you, you can also take a long metal rod and poke it into the ground at regular intervals until you hit something—likely your septic tank lid.

Completion time ranges from days to weeks, contingent on project size, environmental conditions, and regulatory approvals.
