  • Save Time & Effort: Reduces the need for constant weeding, freeing you up to enjoy your outdoor space.

Testimonials From Our Green Space Friends

From beginning to end, ZebraScapes was a pleasure to work with. Eric gave wise advice on our project, Andy managed the start and completion dates, the landscapers worked hard to deliver a quality result and Stephanie closed the project. The professionalism and friendliness came hand in hand! ZebraScapes also maintained a lot I owned by both killing weeds and spraying a pre-emergent. It totally worked! I nary saw a weed. ZebraScapes is one of the most reputable companies in Prescott. I could not more highly recommend them.
The team at ZebraScapes came in and did an amazing job cleaning up dead leaves, pruning all my trees, roses and bushes, removing a dead tree and replacing the potting soil in my planters. It was a mess when they arrived, it was ready for Spring planting when they left. What a great team!
ZebraScapes is a wonderful company. They are easy to reach and have very friendly and knowledgeable employees.

They did an excellent job pruning large tree with great cleanup afterwards.
i needed rock to be put down in my backyard and a tree taken down and replaced. Johnny showed up in a timely manner to get my quote and everything was finished in a matter of a short few weeks ! Highly recommend this company
Johnny came out a couple times and provided excellent customer service and was super patient with my chaotic household. They later came out and provided a tree service on my home and it was quick and efficient. Highly recommends!
I can't say enough good things about the workers who came and pulled my weeds.

I know pulling weeds can be a mundane task. These guys that came, probably spend a majority of their time pulling weeds or spraying pre-emergent spray. They were down on their hands and knees with tools to dig out the roots and got every single weed in my yard. I I'm so thrilled that I finally have a place that I can call to get my yard taken care of and workers who actually do things right the first time. If there were six stars I would give a six-star rating.

For any future landscaping work I will always call them first.
Would give them 10 stars if I could and here's why. Cole was at our house and we were talking about the backyard. He offered to give us a quote. He presented a fantastic idea for the backyard we hadn't thought about so we said yes. Josh and Raul were fantastic in all they did there. Here are the before and after pictures.
We are very happy with the results of our paver addition and new turf. The crew were on time, polite, and helpful. We would definitely use them again.
Ralphael (sales) and his team (Josh and Raul) were amazing. From initial consultation to final walkthrough everything went smoothly and professionally. The final product (an organically laid out Turf and fixed irrigation) they left everything clean and neat on top of of being beautiful. We highly recommend Ralphael and Zebrascapes for your projects .
Outstanding Experience and top shelf company, crew, and results. Ralfael, Jorge, Juan, Beto and all others were fantastic. The crews work hard, smart, and efficiently. Sam and his clean-up crew also did top shelf work. We'll be using Zebrascapes again. Transformed our backyard, huge upgrade after their work.
