Testimonials From Our Green Space Friends

Had Zebrascapes out to spray a few of our trees that were looking rough. They explained what they were doing, showed up when they said they would, and got the job done quickly. A few weeks later, we noticed a real difference, healthier leaves and way fewer bugs. Solid work all around.
We had Zebrascapes install turf, add some plants, and place a few large boulders for a natural touch—and it completely changed the vibe of our backyard. It feels clean, modern, and way easier to maintain. The team was friendly and kept everything moving smoothly. Really glad we chose them for this project.
We had them come out for turf installation and some much-needed tree trimming. The crew was friendly, efficient, and left everything looking spotless. Our yard’s never looked better, highly recommend!
