Using state of the art pavers and materials it all looks brand new and I love it. Fantastic work ethic. They were there everyday until the job was done. Highly recommended! **★★★★ — Guy Magnusson, Feb. 2020** > Zo Landscaping transformed the exterior of my home into a showplace. Every time I come home and pull in the driveway I can't believe the difference! I highly recommend Mike and his professional crew!! **★★★★★ — HU-93860819, Feb. 2020** > Excellent company to work with all around. We completely redesigned our front yard landscaping including lighting. Mike and team are very knowledgeable and made the whole process easy. Highly recommend! **★★★★★ — Jude Baker, Jan. 2020** > ZO Landscaping > Excellent work > Front garden worked with my design architect > Plan looks wonderful now > Replaced front walkway with stonework > Removed old cement > > They designed and installed plants around > Pond. Lovely > Plant recommendations for deer proof plants > Drainage issues from hillside > Installed new pipes and plantings above > Grass seeded certain areas > Cleanup and trimmed our older plants > Mulched > Rocks for drainage > Special treatment for frost on new plantings > Trimmed tall decorative grass > > Plan to use Z.O again for 2020 **★★★★★ — Jason Rhody, Jan. 2020** > Strongest recommendation for Z.O. Landscaping. At first visit, Mike listened to what we were looking for and gave us a range of options to follow through on the vision. He saved the plants worth saving, moving several bushes and a tree, and brought in a beautiful array of new plantings that nicely complemented both our home and each other. The project was a complete make-over, including the installation of a new walkway, patio, and fence (the last subcontracted and beautifully done). Back yard was completely redone, and front beds also completely redone. His team was detailed, efficient, and careful. Little details made all the difference, and we remain thrilled with the end product. Highly recommend. **★★★★★ — suku nagendran, Jan. 2020** > Mike and Z.O landscaping are the best I have worked with.....his crew turned my backyard in to a paradise. My front garden looks beautiful as well. The attention to detail and professionalism exhibited was beyond my expectations and I would recommend him to all without hesistation. **★★★★★ — Karel Ginsberg, Feb. 2019** > Hired Michael Zinckgraf from Zo Landscapers to create an appealing landscaping design for our newly renovated Tennis Court. Zo Landscapers are very professional, Mike was very easy to work with ,the project was completed in a timely manner and was a pleasant experience. Our community intend to use Zo Landscapers in the future. **★★★★★ — Gillad Matiteyahu, Feb. 2019** > Mike from Z.O. Landscaping is one of the most honest and fair individuals I have had the privilege of working with in my brief history of being a homeowner. Following a very negative experience with another contractor who overcharged and performed defective work, Mike stepped in to the save day. We actually interviewed 6 other landscape architects and contractors and picked Mike because he was by far the most knowledgable (Mike explained exactly what needed to be done to fix the drainage and grading issues at our house), very technologically savvy (he used a photoshop-like program to interpose his landscaping design ideas onto pictures of our house), fairly priced (Z.O. Landscaping maintains its own nursery so they can provide more better pricing), patient (he never gave us the hard sell or pressured us into signing a contract to lock in a schedule or pricing), responsive and personable. > > The work performed at my house included surface drainage, grading, minor stone work, planting and landscaping. Mike was on the job site every day starting at a consistent time and with a consistent crew of workers. Further, Mike and his crew worked consecutive days instead of jumping between jobs like other contractors. Mike and his team worked hard and they cleaned up after themselves at the end of the day. > > I would strongly recommend Mike to my friends and family. **★★★★★ — Michael Farrell, Jan. 2019** > This outfit is extremely professional and completed the job according to specs on time and on the estimated cost. Their response to my original request for a quote was timely and the proposal was easy to understand and complete. The quality of the work was superb. A+ is the grade I would give them. So much so that I have additional work for them to do. Very competent and a pleasure to work with **★★★★★ — Alison Bell, Feb. 2018** > Our yard is transformed! Mike from ZO had listened to what we wanted and came up with amazing creative suggestions. Very collaborative and professional. We gutted our yard and deck and started from scratch. Mike selected what plants to relocated and what to replace and it turned out beautiful! The bluestone patio and is gorgeous and we worked together on railing ideas and came up with the perfect design! > ZO was recommended to us by multiple friends who used them for yard projects and they honestly could not rave about them more. Now I know why. We are very happy we chose ZO Landscaping for our project and HIGHLY recommend them. **★★★★★ — geoffreu mann, Nov. 2017** > Mike, from Z.O., did an excellent job of redesigning our front and rear yard landscaping. He listened to our requests, took pictures of what we currently had, and then produced a very creative landscaping plan. He incorporated any current shrubs that were able to be reused in the new scheme. Mike also gave us several options of many shrubs that were conducive to our yard. We highly recommend Mike. **★★★★★ — Pam Pieroni, Nov. 2017** > We hired Mike to pretty up our front yard walkway that was overgrown with unnecessary bushes and required a new pathway to the front door. After going through a few different scenarios of what we could do with the property, Mike and his hardworking crew dug up bushes we wanted gone, put in new plantings, and installed a new bluestone walkway and some lighting. We were so happy with the work and with Mike's professionalism, we hired Z.O. again to put down a new lawn on our side yard and take down a small evergreen there. Mike's ideas are always great, and he's prepared to work within our budget and time constraints. We have more work to be done in the near future and look forward to working with this team again. ## Selected projects - [Total landscape renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/total-landscape-renovation-pj-vj~6053434) - Location: Parsippany-Troy Hills, NJ - Photos: 14 - Description: We redesigned several areas of this property.
