What people are saying
I found Nurtured Roots online when I was looking for a new landscaper. What grabbed my attention was the wonderful reviews that uniformly described Nurtured Roots as a wonderful woman owned company that performed on time, on budget and that had kind and caring owners and employees. I can say without hesitation that Nurtured Roots far exceeded these reviews. If you are looking for a landscape company that has a great eye for what is needed, that is very conscious about a budget, that shows up as promised, and that consists of great people this is the company to hire. Our yard is a small city yard with lots of shade. Julia took a great amount of time working with us to design a great yard that will be even more beautiful as time goes by. I plan on using Nurtured Roots for many years, and you should too.

Great company to work with, especially if you like native plants and more naturalized landscaping. It is hard to find landscape companies that don’t just want to do grass lawns with gas guzzling lawn mowers and leaf blowers. Nurtured Roots actually wants to help create natural spaces in the urban environment

Highly recommend Nurtured Roots! We had a very sad looking parkway and they’ve totally transformed it into a lush, dynamic haven for native plants and pollinators. The team is super kind, professional and easy to work with and we’ll go straight to them with future projects.

Nurtured Roots are so fabulous! They are respectful of my concerns and opinions, diligent about communicating with me and incredibly hard working.. I feel very lucky to have found them, they treat my yards as if they owned them in the way they care for the plants. Can’t recommend them enough!!!
