Our 1st visit included kids playing, a great variety of plants, soils, and landscape material and super friendly very knowledgeable people eager to help us design our home project. Looking forward to working with them this year to shape our home into a beautiful place.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the kind review! We are looking forward to helping you bring your garden ideas to life! 😁
Andrew and Morgan McAllister
Super helpful and knowledgeable people
Response from the owner:Thank you very much! We are glad you found us helpful! We hope we can continue to be a resource for you!
These people are great to work with. They listened and communicated throughout the job. They’ve turned my dull backyard with very little sun, into my very own oasis. I have shade plantings and artificial grass. Great work! Thank you.

We had a large pear and fig tree pruned and they look wonderful. Will be excited to see what next year’s harvest will be. Lindsey previously performed muscadine pruning which helped the vines tremendously. Would recommend without hesitation as they are a knowledgeable, reliable and ethical business.
Response from the owner:Thank you Angie for the wonderful review! We are absolutely thrilled you have had success with your grapevines, and we are looking forward to hearing about your fruit trees next year!
Heather Thyne
An excellent business, although new (one year in business) they are VERY responsive. I called about 8 nurseries in the area regarding questions I had for some new shrubs I needed and only two called me back and only one (Family Roots) after a brief call regarding my query, sent options over with photos. After that Lindsey called to discuss the matter and to explain why what I had thought I wanted was not the best choice for the location we had planned to install the shrubs. We visited, purchased the shrubs, and during a discussion of our future landscape plans and the failure of perennials I had planted in a full-sun location, , Jake H mentioned a "butterfly" (a/k/a pollinator) garden they were planning for a client. The pollinator garden Family Roots had designed for a client was in a location very similar to our planting environment. Jake made a design with a diagram for our space after we sent photos and measurements. After some back and forth, we agreed on the plan and they have installed phase 1 (2 more phases will be installed in the fall and early spring).

A few weeks later, we also asked for suggestions for a screening hedge for an area near a chain link fence after getting some quite shocking quotes for a privacy fence (about 100' long). That too was excellent (we were given several options to choose from). Those shrubs will be going in during the next month. If you're looking for landscape help or just for some healthy shrubs that you might not find at the big box stores, call on Family Roots, you won't be sorry!
Response from the owner:We thank you for the detailed review about the full process we go through. We are thrilled to have worked with you so far, and are very excited about the pollinator garden, among other future projects with you. Customer service is extremely important to us, and we are very happy that you are pleased with the service we have provided!
Thomas Keown
Jake and Jake installed 2 raised beds in our backyard and from the start of the project until they were finished we were very happy with everything. The whole process went very smoothly. Jake came to our home to discuss what we wanted, explained the process, then sent us the estimate. Once we paid the deposit, we were put on the schedule. Jake and Jake came on the 2 days that were scheduled and completed everything that was listed in the estimate. They also made sure we were happy with the finished product before leaving. We were very happy with our experience and highly recommend this company for any landscaping needs.
Response from the owner:We are so pleased that you had a great experience working with us. We can't wait to see the photos of your raised beds next year, with all your flowers… or peanuts growing in them!
Christian Parrinello
Got a really good deal on fruit trees (pear and apple) and help getting things to the car. Staff was very passionate and helpful, gave a lot of ideas.
Response from the owner:Thank you for taking the time to write review for us! We hope your trees do very well!
Krista Fincke
Great sale prices and customer service! The location is very quaint, but I loved hearing Jake's plan for expansion! He seems to really want to develop into a community hub for gardening
Response from the owner:Thank you Krista! It was wonderful meeting you today. We really are excited to keep growing, and can't wait to share it with everyone! We would love to have you join us on the journey. Thank you for the review!
Have to brag and show my flower beds!
I followed the recommendations of the very knowledgeable team at Family Roots Nursery, they helped me choose the right plants for different light exposure and conditions, and just LOOK at the beauty! It will get even better as the plants grow and fill out more.
They also laid a rock path to my chicken coop, which now looks much cleaner and pleasant, not to mention easy to access.
To finish it off, they uprooted and cleared up a vast area invaded by brambles and weeds, stuff that I couldn’t do if I wanted to!
I am absolutely thrilled for their work, suggestions, and overall awesomeness.
Thank you, Jake 1, Jake 2 and Lindsey!

What a world of difference. When compared to other places in the area, this one sets themselves apart. I ordered some soil to be delivered, and they were extremely responsive, and punctual. The soil was a very good looking soil, and a can't wait to grow my plants that were sitting in containers for a month while I waited for another business to deliver.

The people here really seem to care, and are friendly. Definitely worth the visit!
Response from the owner:Thank you for the thoughtful review! We greatly appreciate your business, and hope to continue to serve your gardening needs, soil or plants!

Fantastic service. Very professional and helpful in finding what exactly I needed for my raised garden beds. I would highly recommend to folks looking for garden supplies.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the wonderful review! We are very happy that we were able to help you with your garden beds! We look forward to seeing you again soon!

Friendly, knowledgeable, and a really nice variety of plants. Phenomenal, attentive customer service. I also love the idea of buying local and this place seems to really try to source locally and set people up for success for growing plants. We will be back.
Response from the owner:We thank you very much for stopping by and for leaving a lovely review! We look forward to seeing you again soon!
The members of this family owned business are very knowledgeable and helpful. They offered us multiple suggestions for landscaping our home. Their plants are beautiful and well maintained. We will be back in the fall planting season. Their plans for the expansion area of the property include offering a u-pick berry field. They also have bulk soil, rock etc. Additionally they offer landscaping/planting services.

Helene Fincke
Yesterday was the second time I hired Family Roots to help me with some landscaping and weeding. Jake and Jake are an awesome team. They are very conscientious about satisfying the customer…. which seems to be a rarity these days. They also were very gracious in helping me set up my soaker hose and timer. Their services are very reasonable. I’d rate them 10 stars ⭐️ if that was an option.
Response from the owner:Thank you Helene! We are very grateful for this wonderful review. We loved working with you to make your backyard garden match your vision!

Also, those banana muffins hit the spot!
Carson Fuller
These people are honest and amazing! We cut some diseased trees down for them recently because they wanted to keep their stock safe and healthy and while we were there we had the pleasure of talking with them for a while! They are super passionate about their business and super easy to work with! If you have any needs for plants or landscaping (or firewood) they are the people to reach out to! I will recommend them any time someone asks!
Response from the owner:Carson, thank you so much! It was a pleasure having your crew here and we are so grateful for the excellent work performed in taking down those trees. We highly recommend your tree removal services!
Happy Happy Customer!!
I had a vision to make use of this sunny spot in my yard. I couldn't be happier with the results! Huge thanks to Jake & Jake for doing such a great job! I wish all companies had this kind of work ethic!

Great people. Super knowledgeable and passionate. Great prices too!! We got berry bushes for half the price you could find them at Home Depot for- not to mention they look wayyy better than the Home Depot ones! Excited to go back. 10/10
Response from the owner:Thank you Sedona for the wonderful review! I can't wait to talk to you and your family about your new berry garden as it grows!

Response from the owner:Thank you Jeff for your wonderful review! We hope you grow many wonderful fruits and vegetables with the soil in your raised beds!
The first thing you notice about these guys (and gal!), is they absolutely LOVE what they do. They are well organized and equipped, knowledgeable, kind and show up when they say they would. With a smile, no less!
They can get most any plant you may want (if not readily available at the nursery) and their prices are fair, the quality of their plants is far superior than big box stores and lower priced.
We just had them tear up our front yard flower beds and prepare them for the spring by digging up the native clay and mixing it with rich and nutrient soil they prepare at their facility.
A layer of pine bark mulch was then added to top off the beds.
We’re currently having a consultation about which plants are best suited for our garden, and come spring we’ll certainly purchase all the plants at their nursery.
I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for excellent workmanship, skills, knowledge and quality.
I also recommend following their FB page, where they showcase plants and dispense good advice daily.
We’re excited to have this nursery in our community, happy to buy local, and support a fabulous local business!

Margaret Holler
I highly recommend the Family Roots team for large &/or small yard improvements. I had an area that was all weeds 😟. They turned it into a lush planting area for a pollinator garden. They added compost, planted plants, mulch etc. at a reasonable price! & they really listen to customers desires. You won’t be disappointed!!!
Response from the owner:Thank you Margaret for your kind words! We are very glad you are satisfied with the results.
Kimberley Smith
Efficient, friendly, thorough and used beautiful plants and quality dirt to create my flower bed. Thanks Family Roots!
Response from the owner:Kim, thank you for the kind review! We loved transforming your garden, and can't wait to see how well it grows!

Steve Bice
My yard had become too much for me to handle. Family Roots came and did a fantastic job of making it managable. Looking forward to having them come out a few times a year to evaluate and keep it looking beautiful. Very affordable. Very reliable. Very knowledgeable.
Response from the owner:Steve, thank you very much for the kind review! We look forward to continuing to work with you, and seeing all those beautiful oakleaf hydrangeas you have!
