Our Mission
It is our intention to contribute to your connection with the natural world through the creation of harmonious and artful landscapes that are informed by the ecology of our native ecosystems.
Would you like to…
- Watch birds and butterflies feeding in your garden?
- Provide sanctuary for native plants and animals?
- Protect and improve water quality for current and future generations?

At Local Roots Landscapers we will design a landscape that fits your needs and lifestyle while protecting and enhancing our environment.
Native Plants
We specialize in plants native to this region, sourced from local nurseries. These native plants are a critical foundation for the health of our local wildlife.
Natural Stone
We use natural stone to install dry-set flagstone walkways, paths, and patios, as well as stone steps and walls.
Ecological Practices
We are guided by an understanding of the interconnected web of nature, and seek not only to do less harm, but to co-create beauty and abundance with the natural world.
