Building Strong Teams: The Secrets Behind ZebraScapes’ Hiring Success | 009

Sometimes the best hires are the ones who know nothing—yet care deeply and learn fast. In this episode, Rodney sits down with Paula, the general manager and driving force behind ZebraScapes, to reveal what really works (and what really doesn’t) when it comes to hiring and building a strong team. Listeners will discover why attitude can matter more than experience, how to spot long-term potential in a candidate, and why company culture is everything. It’s a fast, insightful, and encouraging listen packed with tips for business owners, managers, and anyone working to build a winning team.

Together, they dive into a fresh perspective on problem-solving, sharing insights that challenge traditional thinking and open up new ways of approaching challenges. With engaging stories and real-world examples, they reveal how shifting perspectives can unlock creative solutions in both business and life. You will walk away with actionable strategies to rethink obstacles, break through mental blocks, and see possibilities where others see roadblocks.

Mastering Irrigation: Smarter Watering for a Healthier Landscape | 006

Watering your plants might seem simple, but getting it right can save you money, conserve water, and keep your landscape thriving. Rodney dives into the essentials of irrigation, showing you how to set up an efficient watering schedule that prevents waste and keeps your plants healthy. You’ll learn why grouping trees, plants, and grass into separate irrigation zones is crucial, how to check if your emitters are delivering enough water, and why watering at the right time of day makes all the difference.

David Chasan
ZebraScapes sent a really qualified crew to our house last week. They worked on five of our trees and trimmed some bushes also. Their work was great and cleaned up really well. We were very satisfied with their services.
Stephanie W
Excellent customer service yesterday picking up some artificial turf. I felt welcomed and greeted by a woman as I walked up and the main guy helping me with the turf was patient and super helpful!
Anne Marie Vernon
Ralphael, Eduardo, Domingo, Manny jr, Rosario, were awesome, showed up on time and ready to work every day, extremely responsive and our backyard looks amazing! We highly recommend Zebra for all landscaping projects!
Mark Korras
Responsive and amazing customer service. The work was completed in a timely manner and more importantly any issues that arose were resolved without hesitation. Highly recommend.
Ed DeCaro
ZebraScapes was hired to build an extension to the existing residential paver driveway. The driveway is somewhat steep and required a retainment wall to the side of it.
The finished wall and paver design accomplishes the communicated purpose.
It is built to the material product specifications, and is esthetically blended in with the existing driveway.
The worker's were diligent and respectful.
The project was overseen by Ralphael Avila. He quickly addressed concerns and questions from start to finish.
Overall - a very successful project.
The price was competitive with other local companies that are bonded and insured.
Dennis
ZebraScapes did a awesome job with laying grass to doing some brick and tons of rock work. Ralphael the Sales and Supervisor was great and had a great team do the Job. A big well done to Oscar, Arturo and Uvaldo. Awesome crew !
I would have gave them 10 Stars, but Google only allows for 5 stars.
Holly Bosch
The guys did an excellent job installing a flower bed and access for some equipment. The equipment area was on a slope and a disaster but Zebrascapes came up with a perfect solution which works great. Definitely recommend them.
Mile HighAZ
We couldn’t be more pleased with how our project turned out and that we chose Zebrascape’s to do the work. What started out as an easy widening of our driveway, was complicated dramatically when the crew found a huge boulder a foot or so under our soil. Working closely with the Zebrascape‘s staff and crew we were able to modify our design and actually utilize the boulder as part of our final design. Zebrascape‘s office staff as well as their on-site crew were professional and attentive and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend Zebrascape to anyone with a landscaping project no matter how large or small.

Nice folks, not all speak English but they take time to do what was needed and any extra requests that i have.
Lucas Shaiman
Zebrascapes did an incredible job completely transforming my backyard. I put one before photo in just to showcase how big a job this was. They did land clearing, leveling, trimming, even knocked down and hauled away a giant piece of concrete that I needed gone, put in a new fence, added turf with a stone border, brought in boulders to make it look amazing and made a nice spot for the fire pit. 10/10 would recommend. Colt and his team were professional, efficient and extremely helpful all at a great price.
