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.
New construction lots in Salem
Most of the company's Salem work is in Viridian, the D.R. Horton master planned community on the east side, and in the other new subdivisions around it. Lots arrive rough graded by the builder, usually with the sprinkler stub on one side of the house and a drainage pattern that needs to be finished before anything green goes in. The Viridian HOA reviews landscape plans and sets a front yard deadline after closing.
Salem runs pressurized irrigation in newer neighborhoods, so sprinkler systems are designed for the city's secondary water pressure rather than culinary water. Soil on the east bench is rocky, which is why grading and rock removal are their own lines on a Salem proposal.
What a yard costs in Salem
Roots prices every Salem yard from a line item proposal after walking the lot, with grading, drainage, sprinkler zones, sod, curbing, rock, trees and any hardscape as separate lines. The rate does not change by city; a bigger lot, a slope or a patio changes the number, not the address. The cost guide explains what drives a landscaping bid up or down and how to read one.
HOA deadlines and city rules in Salem
Most new neighborhoods in Salem give a new owner a fixed window to finish the front yard, and many require an architectural review committee to approve the plan first. Roots writes the plan to the HOA guidelines and schedules the install to land before the deadline. City rules on park strips, water wise percentages and secondary water connections are checked before the proposal is written. The new construction guide covers the common rules in detail.
