Absolutely amazing to work with…
From rendering to execution, Zach was there every step of the way. Rain or shine they worked hard to deliver an amazing end result before schedule. Zach was flexible and adaptable every step of the project, from grading issues to stone shortage, Zach offered amazing alternatives and delivered. Our oasis is more than we could have asked for. We are looking forward to having Zach and his team back for phase 2 of our project later this fall or early spring. Most importantly, the strong roots crew where very much loved by my Labradors.

Such a fantastic experience…
Communication was excellent on a daily basis. Pricing was very fair, and quality of work was top notch. They showed up on time for the start of the project and every day beyond through to completion. Expectations were far exceeded. I would absolutely recommend Strong Roots for any projects you're considering.

You were recommended to us…
From the moment we first contacted Zach for our walkway project, to the completed installation, we were impressed with his professionalism and attention to detail. Zach's suggestions regarding the walkway made it easy for us to finalize a design. Zach and his crew's did a fabulous job. Their attention to detail was amazing. There was not one day on the job where they did not leave without cleaning up the work site. We felt at total ease knowing we made the right choice to hire Strong Roots Landscaping. Looking forward to having them return for more work!

The entire crew was extremely professional and took such pride in their work. The job site was maintained beyond our expectations. It was truly refreshing. On top of that they were extremely smart in their use of material and precision cuts. Our patio looks exceptional. Super impressed with Strong Roots workmanship and attention to detail. Would highly recommend.

We do! Ask us about available financing options during your free consultation — we want to make the process accessible and manageable.
