Roots has been great! I worked with them as a subcontractor on a few projects and you can tell they really care about their clients. They provide a fair price and solid solutions. You can't go wrong hiring Roots!

Great lawn service and experience for our new home!

I was determined to figure out and complete my project myself. After weekends away from the family and redoing the same steps over and over, I decided to get help from Roots. Noah was very non-pressure and collaborative. My weekends are now spent in the backyard with my family , not hiding my Home Depot credit card. My five stars means he got the job done right the first time and for a fair price. I will use Roots and Noah in my future projects.

Noah and his team were great to work with, helping us design and build out a plan for our yard within our budget. Roots was flexible with our crazy summer schedule and very communicative and responsive, answering all our questions and walking us through the details. We are happy with how our landscaping turned out!

We had such a wonderful experience with Roots! They were efficient, professional, and communicated with us every step of the way. They also brought great ideas and creative suggestions that truly helped bring our yard to life. We couldn’t be happier with the results and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality landscaping and excellent service!

What it's like to work with us

YOU WILL NEVER CHASE US
FOR AN ANSWER.

Hiring a landscaper shouldn't feel like taking a second job. You've earned a life where things are handled — where the people you hire show up when they said, do what they promised, and keep you informed without being asked.

That's the entire idea behind Roots. The luxury isn't in the marketing. It's in the fact that your phone rings before you wondered, the street is swept before you got home, and the final number matches the first one.

We don't waste your money. And we especially don't waste your time.— The Roots Landscaping Team

ON TIMEScheduled backwards from a real finish date. Four to five weeks, stated in your contract.
ON BUDGETThe price we agree on is the price you pay. Changes happen only when you change the scope — signed first.
ON RECORDLicensed, insured, and everything in writing before a single machine rolls onto your lot.
Not just a landscaper

WE BUILD THE WHOLE YARD.
AND EVERYTHING ON IT.

Most landscapers stop at sod. We are a licensed Utah contractor, so the concrete, the fencing, the walls, the pergola, the hot tub pad and the lighting all go under the same contract, with the same team running it. You never coordinate a second company, and you never get handed a phone number and a shrug.

Let's be honest with each other

THE QUESTIONS YOU'RE
REALLY ASKING.

You're not wondering whether a finished yard would be nice. You're wondering whether a contractor can be trusted with your home, your deadline and your money. Fair. Ask us the hard ones.

01 "Will this actually be done when you say it will?"

Yes — and you'll be able to watch us prove it. Before a machine rolls onto your lot, your yard is scheduled backwards from a real finish date: grading, drainage, irrigation, concrete, curbing, sod and planting, each with its own day and its own material lead time. Most Roots yards finish in four to five weeks.

How we hold it: our project system tracks every order-by date and flags anything running late to our team before it can cost you a day. You get a scheduled update every Friday, whether there's news or not.

02 "Will the price move once you've started?"

No. The price we agree on is the price you pay. Our proposals are built line by line — square feet of lawn, feet of curbing, each sprinkler zone, each tree, each yard of concrete — so there's nothing vague to hide a surprise in.

How we hold it: the only way your number changes is if you change the scope, and even then nothing happens until you've seen the change order in writing and signed it. No verbal add-ons. No "while we were out there" invoices.

03 "Do I have to hire a second company for the concrete or the fence?"

No, and that's the whole point of hiring us. We're a licensed Utah contractor, not a mow-and-blow crew with a trailer. The concrete, the fencing, the retaining walls, the pergola, the fire pit and the hot tub pad are all ours, on your contract, on your schedule.

Why it matters: the order things happen in is what makes a yard look right. Fence before sod. Conduit before concrete. Drainage before anything. When three companies are each protecting their own calendar, that order is the first thing to break.

04 "What is my property going to be like while you're here?"

Busy for a few days at a time, then quiet. A yard install isn't four straight weeks of machines. It's a sequence of short, scheduled bursts with material and inspections in between. We tell you which days are the loud ones before they happen.

How we hold it: end-of-day cleanup is a required checklist item for the crew — the same system that tracks the schedule tracks the broom. The street gets swept. Your driveway doesn't become our staging yard.

05 "Who exactly is going to be on my property?"

People we'd let onto our own. Roots is a small, deliberate company — you'll meet your project lead at the first walkthrough, and you'll know the names of the people on your job. No rotating cast of strangers.

How we hold it: we're a licensed and insured Utah contractor (licence 14282096-5501), and every sub we bring in has done Roots work before. You'll always know who's scheduled and when — it's in your Friday update.

06 "Why shouldn't I just get three bids and take the middle one?"

You should absolutely compare us. Just compare the right things: not the number at the bottom, but what's in writing above it. A fixed finish window. A signed-change-order policy. Whether the concrete and fencing are included or farmed out. Ask every bidder for those three things on paper and the bids will sort themselves.

Our promise: if we're not the right fit, we'll tell you at the first conversation — before you've spent anything but thirty minutes.

The numbers, out loud

WHAT A ROOTS YARD
ACTUALLY COSTS.

Most landscapers hide pricing because they'd rather get you on the phone. We'd rather respect your time. These are real ranges for real Roots yards in Utah County — your fixed number comes from your lot, your slope and your selections, in writing, before anything starts.

WHY WE PUBLISH OUR NUMBERS

Because you'd find out anyway — and because a fixed, honest number on day one is cheaper than a "low bid" that grows in the dark. If your budget and our ranges aren't a match, we'd rather both know before the first meeting. Your time is the most expensive thing on this page.

Money, plainly

WHAT YOU ARE PAYING FOR,
AND WHEN.

The part most contractors leave off the website. We'd rather you read it here than find out later.

What sets the price

  • Square feet of lawn versus rock bed. Rock costs less to install and less to water.
  • Sprinkler zones, which your water pressure sets, not us.
  • Feet of concrete curbing and square feet of flatwork.
  • Walls: length, height and material.
  • Trees, shrubs and lighting, counted one by one.
  • Access. A backyard the skid steer cannot reach costs more in labor.

Every yard is priced from a line item proposal after the walkthrough. You see each line. Nothing is bundled into a number you cannot check.

If plans change

  • Any change is written up and priced within 48 business hours. Work on it starts only after you approve.
  • If you cancel a line item after signing, the fee is 25 percent before anything is ordered or scheduled, 50 percent once scheduled, 75 percent once material is ordered, and 100 percent once that work has begun. Materials are never refundable. Your three-day right to cancel the whole agreement stays.

How payment works

Four draws, each tied to a milestone you can see with your own eyes.

Signing
Crew starts
Curbing poured
Final walk
  • Check, cash or bank transfer only. We never hold a card.
  • No deposit to book a walkthrough. No fee for the proposal.
  • Financing is available through our partners if you'd rather spread it out.
A yard is a construction project. It is priced like one, scheduled like one, and built under a contractor licence like one. That is the difference between a licensed contractor and a crew with a trailer.

Who's behind Roots

A YOUNG NAME.
NOT NEW HANDS.

Roots is a young brand with an old-fashioned spine. Our founders spent years buying, renovating and flipping Utah homes — the kind of work where every surprise under the surface comes out of your own pocket, and every missed week is your own money burning. You learn to schedule honestly, bid honestly, and finish what you start. Nobody bails you out.

That discipline became Roots: first the landscaping company Salem knows — Where Great Yards Take Root — and then Roots Finished Basements, under the same roof and the same standard. One family of brands, one phone number, one team that answers it.

We're building this company in our own hometown, for the long term. That's why most Roots clients become repeat clients — the yard first and then the basement, or the basement first and then the yard. When you find a contractor you trust, you keep them. We intend to be kept.
