Hired ZR Landscaping to rebuild a retaining wall with paver patio that was poorly installed just four years earlier by another contractor. Zach diagnosed poor drainage behind the wall as the reason the wall base was washing out. Zach had a detailed, competitively priced written proposal to me in under 24 hours. He offered to reuse some of the existing blocks to reduce the total cost. Our project was scheduled just a few weeks out, not months out like a couple other contractors had proposed. The crew was punctual and very hard-working for a solid four days. Crew leader Julio answered all our questions and kept us informed through of each level of the new installation. Zach came back by himself to see the completed project, answer a few questions and make sure we were satisfied.

ZR Landscaping and Grading is by far one of the best companies we've had the pleasure dealing with. Starting with Zack, he is a no nonsense consultant, not a sales person. He was efficient and practical with his analysis and offered several options to address our drainage/erosion issues. When his team arrived, they were prompt, courteous, hard working. It was obvious they enjoyed and were proud of the work they did. They always did little things that went above and beyond the project work. The two crew chiefs, Julio and Oscar were a pleasure to deal with. They always kept us in the loop. Laura in the back office was wonderful. Overall, the outcome of the project was impressive. We highly recommend this company.

ZR was professional from the initial contact thru completion of services. The crew delivered and spread 20 yards of mulch to our yard. I was contacted the morning that work began informing me that the crew was on their way. They arrived soon after, looked at the yard and asked a few questions and then efficiently and carefully went about their work. We have a number of trees, bushes, and areas of vegetation ground cover. The crew was great about filling in around all these areas. Our yard looks great again thanks to their fine work.

They listened to us and delivered on our expectations. Our project leaders were James and Brandon and they were super professional. This company is really busy so book your project early. They are reliable and completed the project when promised. Our landscaping project looks beautiful and we look forward to doing some more work with them in the future.

Zack and his company are great to work with. There work is above and beyond what we expected. Zack kept us apprised is the schedule and check in with us several times during the project and at the end to make sure everything was to our satisfaction. Cost was very competitive. We have now used ZR twice and if we ever have another project we will call him again.

It was very smooth. Initial meeting occurred as scheduled. Estimate and contract were detailed and professional and within our budget. There was a scheduling delay on my part which they accommodated graciously. Once work began(at time scheduled) 8 workers showed up and began construction immediately. Materials used were of high quality. The execution of the design exceeded our expectations. We were very pleased with the finished product and would not hesitate to either use them for other projects or to highly recommend them to neighbors and friends.

Highly recommend ZR Landscaping and Grading. We started a project that we quickly figured out was out of our ability. I called ZR to come out and take a look. They were prompt, reasonable and professional. The work was done in a timely manner and we are very pleased with the result! Would hire again and recommend!

Zach is an exacting professional. He listened carefully to our overall goal, and then made suggestions regarding the specifics.. We hired ZR to plant privacy trees in our yard. The planting process was efficient and precise. It is now 3 weeks since our 4.5' trees were planted. They are 6' tall today. Great job!

Zack, the owner, and his crews are incredible! I have a very steep driveway and hillside at the front of my WNC mountain home. They repaired a badly damaged wood retaining wall then properly excavated, provided drainage, backfilled and secured new posts with deadman anchoring. This is my third project using ZR Landscaping. They are always on time, professional, courteous, hard working, reliable and provide a great project outcome at a fair price. I highly recommend ZR Landscaping!

I don't like to give bad reviews and I must say that overall I'm pleased with the work preformed, however, ZR ordered a blue Spruce tree for me and, after receiving it waited about 3 weeks to plant it in my yard. The tree did not live very long and I contacted them, (with pictures), more that 3 times from October 2019 to the present June 2020. I get promises but they have never made the effort to replace the tree that I paid for. I'm very unhappy that all I seem to get is lip service.

It was a pleasant experience. Zack was easy to deal with even when we made late changes to the project and also as our HOA, made it difficult for him to do the job efficiently. He dealt with it and did the same phenomenal job I expected.

We wanted some landscaping done on the front of our house where previous landscaping was done. We wanted new sun tolerant bushes and removal of other bushes. We also wanted weed barrier, jut matting, and mulch. I contacted Zac and he sent out Roger who took our information and told us that he would get back with a quote. We had the quote 2 days later. We had to wait until April to get the work done due to Winter. The work started on April 1st. It was supposed to take 2 days but took 3...no big deal. I was home half a day for the first day, the end of the day on the second, and all day for the last. It started out great, but then turned a little south on the second day. Roger was our foreman. He was nice, but was on the phone a lot in his truck, or doing paperwork, or left a lot and the guys were there alone. On the second night before Roger left he told me that they had some plastic barrier pieces left over from another job that they placed on our landscaping to help keep the mulch up. We are on a pretty steep hill so I thought that was a nice touch along with the jut matting underneath. He also told me that the plants would be watered before the guys left. Well, the plants never got watered and the barriers that he placed were put on top of the slippery black weed barrier and not on top of the jut matting. He decided not to put jut matting in a spot, (I guess, to see how it would work). When I went outside to check on everything after they left I could see black underneath the much. I moved the mulch and there was no jut matting. When I got home the next day they had covered the whole area with mulch and you could see where it was falling down the hill exposing the black weed barrier. I asked him about it and he said that was where they put the plastic barriers. I said, that is not working and made them move all the mulch off the barrier and put the jut matting down. The last day I was home the whole day. I had noticed in the morning that on the last area they had a strip of jut matting and then nothing, then another strip and then nothing. He saw me and asked if I was going to be home the whole day, and I said yes. His face sort of lost a little expression. I then asked about the jut matting and why it was not covering the whole hill like we asked and paid for. His excuse was that he misquoted us and had went over budget on the jut matting. So instead of doing it right he was going to rip us off, thus the lack luster look when I said that I was going to be home. Well, I made them put the jut matting everywhere and then he watered the plants and was done. Some of our plants died after the frost, but would have anyway because they were not heat tolerant. Nowhere on the hill is there one bit of shade. That is why we wanted heat tolerant plants. Spoke with Zac and he said that he would send another foreman out and that he would come out 45 mins after they got there to remove some plants. He did not show up so only 3 were replaced since the new foreman did not know what the other plants that were not heat tolerant looked like. They ended up giving us 6 plants for free. Forgot to mention that one tree and 4 plants were not brought, but I was going to get charged the full price with Roger. I deducted the amount and paid for what we got. All in all Zac made it right but I would watch out if you have Roger for the foreman. Jason was our second foreman and the guys loved working for him. I appreciated him also. Thank you Zac for making it right. I would definitely use your company again without Roger.
