  • Prevent Weed Growth: Blocks weed seeds from sprouting, keeping your landscape neat and free of invasive plants.
  • Save Time & Effort: Reduces the need for constant weeding, freeing you up to enjoy your outdoor space.

Three great encounters with this company recently. 1. Jonathan came out to estimate some landscaping. He gave us great advice and a fair price. 2. Caleb came out to weed and do pest control. Very professional and competent. 3 Craig and Stratton came out a couple days later to take out a tree. Again, very professional and competent. Bottom line everyone we met seemed primarily concerned with making sure that we were getting exactly what we asked for and what was best for us.

“I recently used ZebraScapes in Prescott for a full property cleanup: trimming hedges and shrubs, removing a couple of small trees, and tuning up my irrigation system. They did an outstanding job from start to finish!
Samuel, the Sales Manager, was excellent—he listened carefully to my needs, offered smart suggestions, and followed up perfectly. The landscape crew, Gary and Jorge, arrived early (which was a pleasant surprise!), worked efficiently and neatly, and left everything looking fantastic. They were polite, professional, and even took time to compliment my dog—such a nice touch!
Additionally, Bob and Miguel came out to tune up the irrigation system and were just as efficient, friendly, and thorough as the rest of the team. Samantha in the office was super helpful and responsive too—everyone I dealt with met the highest standards of courtesy and quality.
ZebraScapes delivered exceptional service all around. My property looks better than ever, and the whole experience was enjoyable. If you’re in the Prescott area and need reliable landscaping or irrigation work, I highly recommend them—I’ll definitely be calling them back!”

Had Zebrascapes come out to remove 2 trees and plant 2 new trees. I contacted them online and received a response in 24 hours, scheduled a visit to walk the lot and review the request. I got a quote that evening and had work done the following week. Samuel was prompt in responding with the quote and providing exactly what we were looking. He met with me on the day of work. Introduced me to the crew and we walked the lot to one more review the job and locate where the new trees were to be planted. The crew of Gary and Sergio worked efficiently, and upon completion of the work once more walked the lot to make sure I was satisfied with the work. They left the yard and the area around their truck spotless. A small detail to clean up around the truck but makes a favorable impression on the neighbors! I will definitely hire them again.

Stratten and Craig did the lion share with Edwin managing the work. Colloborated with Stratten and Craig with the trees and both were great to work with, hard workers, communication on the work was the best part for me as they gave excellent input on the work as well as what I wanted completed. Both take pride in their work which is refreshing Thanks for a job well done
