Zebrascapes does an excellent job in the north pv neighborhood where I live...The esplanades they manage are well managed and weed-free where as before, a previous company had let some of the bushes grow too large and blocked drivers' views partailly. And they are friendly while driving by them...

Thank you, ZebraScapes, for supporting Mile High Middle School with our Foundations in Personal Finance curriculum. Your generosity is helping students learn how to build a successful financial future.
I highly recommend ZebraScapes landscaping! Not only because of their on-time, high-quality landscaping services, but also because they are invested in the Quad Cities. They generously donate their time and money to area schools. My daughter’s track team just received a donation that allows the team to buy - not one but TWO! - starting blocks for our athletes. This donation helps our athletes improve and allows us to host sanctioned (official!) track meets. Athletes from around Arizona will come to Prescott for our track meets. They will stay in our hotels, eat at our restaurants, and spend their money in our community. Thank you, ZebraScapes, for your continued support!
As a member of the PHS Track and Field Booster as well as the President of the Badger Athletic Booster I can't say enough about the local businesses that support the Athletic Department at Prescott High School! Zebrascape's unwavering partnership to help purchase 2 more of the much-needed starting blocks for the Track and Field team at PHS shows how much they give back to our community. It's local businesses like this who step in and make PHS Athletics amazing. We truly couldn't do it without them and so many others. Thanks for your partnership Zebrascapes, if you're looking for someone to help you with your landscape needs, reach out and help support businesses that give back so much to our community. It truly takes a village.

I highly recommend this landscaping company! Jeff was fantastic to work with — friendly, flexible, and very patient. I changed the plans several times and he still managed to get me a great price. He always kept his appointments and followed up exactly when he said he would. Although we weren't able to get some of the plants due to supplier inventory, Jeff was able to find suitable substitutes to keep the project on schedule. Despite those substitutions, the yard was completed exactly as drawn up and looks great. I was out of state during the project install so I was not able to witness the crew hard at work. But when I got home I was totally satisfied with the result. The crew was meticulous and left my property immaculate. Cara in the office was also a pleasure — very friendly and helpful. She made payments, scheduling, and paperwork easy and stress-free. Overall I’m very satisfied with the project. Great value and excellent service from start to finish. Would definitely recommend them!
