DESIGN SERVICES AND CONSULTING

How We Work

Rooted offers defined, consulting-based services that can stand alone or build upon one another.

Our work focuses on curated plant palettes, material direction, and spatial design, emphasizing clarity and long-term beauty. Each project is grounded in a strong design foundation that allows landscapes to evolve naturally over time — without the overwhelm of full-service project management and with flexibility in how they are brought to life.
