  • 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.

I work for a small non-profit, Yavapai CASA for Kids Foundation. Zebrascapes' philanthropy has been so important to us, and they were major sponsors to our latest community event. They are partnering with us to provide support to foster youth in our community. I think it is important to be aware of their commitment to our community.

We were a vendor at the landscape and garden show in April and the crew and staff were amazing. They were polite, helpful, understanding and helped us position on the property to help our business as well as those of the other vendors and customers. They were very mindful of everyone there. We hope to attend this event again.

After shopping around, we chose ZebraScapes to spray our Pinyon Pine trees. Caleb and Daniel were able to gently move their equipment around, followed my directions exactly, and were very polite and professional. Reasonably priced, very flexible, great business model.

They did a fantastic job on our artificial turf installation. The material they used was pet friendly, our dog loves to roll around and lay on it. Exactly what we wanted, and they were even able to fix an area of our paver that was lifted in the back so it looks perfect now. They listened carefully to the job we wanted, were very quick and efficient, and professional crew to work with. The job included removal of a large tree stump and boulder rocks, which they were able to handle all of it for a very reasonable price. Would definitely use them again in the future!
