Reviews
What customers say
Customers praise efficient crews and careful work, and speak positively about finished yards and pool landscaping. One customer says the team handled a backyard drainage problem that had looked like a river whenever it rained; the yard now drains properly, and the customer later asked for low-maintenance plants in the front yard. Another customer says Rost assessed which plants needed replacement after a few were lost over fall and winter, and notes that the company guarantees its work and plants.

Sudhi Tyagi
We had a serious drainage problem in our backyard — every time it rained, it looked like a river was running through our yard. I spoke with several well-reputed landscaping companies in Columbia and Jacob Porter with Rost was the only one willing to take on the challenge. They handled the project beautifully, and now our yard drains perfectly — no more river!
Jacob and his team were professional, knowledgeable, and meticulous in their work. We were so impressed that we asked them to help with our front yard as well. They selected a wonderful variety of low-maintenance plants that look stunning and complement our home perfectly.
Since the work was completed, we’ve had multiple neighbors stop by to ask who did our landscaping — and I’m always happy to recommend Rost. We couldn’t be happier with the results!

We had a wonderful experience with Jacob and his team who implemented his design. We are very pleased with our beautiful yard!

We had Rost Landscaping do our landscaping after our pool was put in last summer. It looked great. We lost a few plants and shrubs over the fall and winter. Rost guarantees their work and plants. Nate and his crew were very efficient and pleasant to work with.
This spring, they came out to assess which plants needed replacement. This is where I got the pleasure of working with Kelly McBride. She was great! I loved her attitude and love of the plants. Her knowledge of what will work in my yard and what might not was apparent. I asked her to replace some of my older plantings in front of the house that were not doing well. She selected plants and gave recommendations. The pictures below are some of the plants we selected.
I would highly recommend Rost Landscaping for any projects you may have.

After receiving several rave reviews from neighbors about them, we selected Rost for a large landscaping project around our new pool. I cannot say more positive things about Rost! Nate is an amazing, talented designer! And the Rost crew was phenomenal.From start to finish, Nate was creative, thoughtful and responsive. The employees of Rost were organized, efficient, with great attention to detail. We could not be happier with how our pool landscaping all came together!
Linda Hays
Rost Landscaping did a great job on repair of my brick patio, which had started to sag a bit after 25 years. Jacob Porter was great to work with, responsive with the quote and to my further questions. The crew, led by Andreas, was focused and serious about understanding the specific needs for the repair. They worked efficiently and left me with a restored surface I enjoy using again.
