Rooted in care.
A small, design-led team who treat every garden as if it were our own.
Hi, we're Root & Rise.
Root & Rise was founded by Sarah on a simple belief: a great outdoor space starts with a real conversation. We're a hands-on, owner-led team who take on a select number of projects so every client gets our full attention — and our best work.
Sarah is a graduate of the Landscape Design program at Fanshawe College in London, Ontario, and brings that formal design training to every project — pairing horticultural know-how with a designer's eye for proportion, flow, and detail.
From the first walk-through to the last plant in the ground, we combine your ideas with our expertise to create gardens that are beautiful, sustainable, and built to grow more lovely with every season — right here in London and the surrounding area.
How we work.
Listen first
We start by understanding how you want to use your space — then design around your life, not a template.
Design with intention
Every plant, stone, and line is a deliberate choice that serves both beauty and function.
Build to last
Quality materials and careful craft, so your investment looks better year after year.
Grow with you
We're here after the build, too — caring for the gardens we plant as they mature.
Five-star homeowner reviews
Led & personally involved on every project
No-obligation, on-site quotes
