“We highly recommend ZebraScapes.

They redid our backyard, removing overgrown vegetations. Then they brought in tons of rock to our backyard by wheelbarrow to complete the job (even put in a railing for some steep steps).

Very professional crew. Did a great job.

We are very happy with the results.”

Every outdoor living space is a blank piece of canvas for our landscape designer. We will work with your vision to create your personal oasis, a living space that you would be proud to share with family and friends.

We approach every project with considerations for the surroundings and bring in elements complimentary to the natural environment. Our designs can include native plants and trees palette to keep water usage to a minimum, an outdoor kitchen, fireplace, fire pit, pergola, water feature, pavers and patios.

The ZebraScapes installation crew is second to none with an onsite supervisor at every project to make sure a quality control check list is followed. Our many certifications include irrigation, chemicals, firewise, and tree care.

Give ZebraScapes a call. Let us turn your dreams into reality!

odern education in Greater Prescott has come a long way since its first school was built in 1867 on what is now the campus of Prescott Mile High Middle School -- a replica of the log cabin is two blocks away on the grounds of Sharlot Hall Museum.

Today the area has a broad spectrum of educational options for its residents, starting with the public, charter and private schools for children and teenagers throughout the region.
