Who you're hiring

A small team, on purpose.

Root & Rise is owner-run. Sarah is at every job, from the first walkthrough to the last plant going in the ground. We only book a handful of projects at a time, so nothing gets rushed and nobody gets handed off.

    Passion

    We actually love this work. Ask us a question about your soil and see how long we talk.

  • 02

    Collaboration

    It's your yard. You bring what you want it to feel like, we bring the how, and we figure it out together.

  • 03

    Sustainability

    We plant what belongs here and build what lasts. Fewer do-overs, less waste, healthier gardens.

    Creativity

    No two yards we've done look alike. Yours won't either.
