Reviews

What customers say

Several customers praised designers for listening to their ideas, and positive accounts also note clear communication during installation. In one project, the team finished within the customer's timeframe. A customer reported that the crew pruned shrubs despite instructions, left the driveway and patio uncleaned with significant debris, stopped showing up without notice and did not respond to repeated complaints; the same customer said a worker kicked and damaged backyard furniture and plants, leaving them feeling threatened.

Customer Reviews

Melissa Schuette

The team at Local Roots was exceptional. From the beginning, Sarah kept the process running smoothly and in a timely manner. I was never left wondering what the next steps were and I felt confident knowing that someone was keeping a close eye on our project. Evan's attention to detail and ability to translate our wishlist into a beautiful design was second to none. He is extremely talented in landscape design and we were lucky to have him driving the visuals! Greg, Nick, John and Alejandro worked swiftly and transformed our backyard space in a matter of days! They were communicative and respectful while spending time on our property and couldn't have been nicer to talk to. They made sure to get our opinion before each next large step was made so that we were happy with the placement of all plants and lighting. In addition, they went above and beyond listening to our needs and were able to make game-changing decisions on site that ensured we were happy. We would work with them again in a heartbeat!

Our experience with Local Roots was incredible. We absolutely love the finished product. Ricardo was great in planning our design. It was incredibly thoughtful and well planned out. He really listened to our ideas and truly delivered. Our installation team, Nick, John and Alejandro, showed up on time and finished the job within our time frame. They worked so hard and did an amazing job. Our experience from start to finish was amazing. Highly recommend them for your landscaping project!!

Do not hire this company. We signed up for regular lawn maintenance and clearly instructed them not to prune our shrubs. Despite this, their crew severely damaged our shrubs by improperly pruning them, causing many plants to yellow and die. The service was consistently incomplete—they neglected cleaning our driveway and patio, leaving behind significant debris and mess. Even worse, after repeated emails and phone calls explaining the damage, they completely ignored us. They stopped showing up altogether without any notice or explanation. Extremely unprofessional, irresponsible, and unreliable. Save your garden and avoid the stress by choosing another company. Additionally, when I addressed these issues to the company worker, their worker reacted aggressively, kicking and damaging furniture and plants in my backyard, making me feel threatened and unsafe in my own home. They never took responsibility or responded to the damage their crew caused to my plants.

Local Roots did an amazing job! The design team listened to what I wanted and was very thoughtful with suggestions. They were also very helpful in making adjustments to fit my budget. The on site team worked quickly and had great communication about status and gave suggestions. I would highly recommend using Local Roots for big or small landscaping projects.

Local Roots does amazing work. Everyone we worked with had incredible expertise, from the design phase through demolition and installation. There was so much careful consideration and attention to detail that I fully trusted all of their recommendations and the end result is better than I ever imagined. I'm so happy we worked with them and absolutely recommend for any landscaping projects.
