Landscaping reviews in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Local Roots redesigned my front and side yards to eliminate rocks and beautify it all with plants and trees. Planning and financing was honest, smart, flexible, and easy, and the design work--from 3D modeling to the care taken by the crew to the finished product was just perfect. We couldn't be happier with the outcome and look forward to the really helpful ongoing maintenance. I wish I had more stars to give them!

Local Roots has been outstanding from start to finish with our backyard pool project. I was pretty nervous to take on such a big project but I finally pulled the trigger. And Local Roots has been there every step of the way. From perfect design ideas, and graciously putting up with my indecisiveness, to transforming my backyard into what I now call it “Shangri-La,” Local Roots is top notch. You can tell they have a great work culture amongst their employees. They are hard working and always respectful. I was surprised when even the owner, Kenn, came to visit the project to make sure everything was going as planned and to make sure we were satisfied with how all the different pieces were coming together. I was so impressed by Local Roots that I even convinced my son to fill out an application to work for them! Thank you, Local Roots!! 10/10 for sure!

My wife and I were really on the fence about hiring a company to do our landscaping project. Everything always costs more than you think it will, and landscape work is no exception.

That said, working with the team at Local Roots left us with the feeling that we got every penny's worth and then some. They just do the important stuff right. Of course the project came out nice, but it was the communication, the professionalism, the attitudes of the team that came to do the work...the whole package. Rob and his team on site worked diligently, quickly, and even fixed some cabling issues that I failed to inform them of.

I can't recommend them enough if you have a project that is just a bit too much for you to do yourself. You wont regret it.

We reached out to local roots for help with landscaping, sod placement, and drainage. It was a big job and they did not disappoint. They are truly the nicest and hardest working guys we have met. They are all knowledgeable on the work they do and take alot of pride in everything they do. Will and his crew were polite and always gave us an end of the day update. Getting this update was extremely nice because we were always clear where they were in the project. Everyone was great to work with. I would highly recommend this company. We will be asking for their services again in the future.

Local Roots provided us an estimate for comprehensive landscaping work. Patrick was on time, professional and very thorough during his meeting with his. We got that sense that he had great expertise and would do an excellent job. He got us the proposal and price estimate relatively quickly, but unfortunately it was more costly than some other estimates and did not fall within our budget. If we had a higher budget we would have probably gone with Local Roots because it did seem like they would do the best job. Patrick followed up and demonstrated strong communication throughout. Recommended!

Local Roots came and replaced concrete in our backyard after we had a major sewer issue this fall. We could not be happier! From start to finish, the process was so smooth and painless. They came to our house and presented a few different options of what we could do and once we decided scheduled a few weeks out to ensure the weather would be optimal for concrete pouring. Their crew was so kind and communicative with us! They were professional and left our yard (the part without the concrete) even nicer than when they showed up. It was such a great experience and we cannot wait for our next project with Local Roots!

Local Roots did an excellent job and made my yard look as beautiful as last year. What a great team these guys were!!!!!
Will is a real asset to your company and you know as an Administrator with over 200,employees at any given moment, I don't say that lightly!! He is very knowledgeable, friendly and the guys seem to mesh very well as a team with his guidance!! They were a pleasure to deal with!!!
Several neighbors have already stopped to tell me how beautiful my yard is...so many thanks!

The Local Roots crew met all of our expectations with our patio and landscaping project and beyond. It was our first large project in our first home but I have no doubt we made the right pick. Things like talking through details ahead of time, attention to detail, adjusting the plan as wrinkles popped up, all were handled well and I felt confident quality work was being performed. Dylan and the crew was great, they worked hard through hot days and lent their own expertise to details of the project. The end result is awesome and plan to use Local Roots again in the future. Thanks a ton Ken, Dylan, Zac, and the rest of the crew!

We contacted Local Roots on recommendation from our neighbors and we were not disappointed. We are installing a lawn on a back yard. They responded promptly, heard our concerns, and put us on the schedule. I am unsure if it is fairly priced, however for the work we had done it was certainly a good value for the money. The crew was courteous, able to explain what they were doing, and were expeditious in their work. My only complaint is that they showed up three weeks early with no warning, but that wasn’t a giant issue with us. Overall very satisfied with the work done and how the grass is starting to come in

Local roots has been maintaining a 12 acre Church property for us for over three years which includes a meadow, many garden areas and a large sloped hillside. The property has vastly improved under their care. Specifically Jason and LeRoy helped create a border on our meadow which helped beautify it for the winter months as it is visible from a busy road at our Church entry!

Additionally, Kendall and Bobby planted and watered near the new meadow installation this year, meet me at the property to go over work scope when needed, and help with many changing requests as we continue to make improvements.

The company is very responsive and managed well!

We hired Local Roots to repair our backyard retaining walls. They were excellent communicators from the initial survey to working with us and our neighbor to plan out equipment use and project timeframes. They were very clear with pricing and any transparent with any building options that may change our quote. I appreciated how frequent their updates were on the project timeline, including if they couldn't work on site that day, and how closely they stuck to their estimated completion timeframe. Local Roots did an incredible job with our backyard, and we would readily hire them again. The price was worth it.

Local Roots did fabulous work on our front landscaping and lighting project. Will, Adan, and Yonathan were a great team, working thoroughly to ensure that what we had envisioned came to fruition.

Kendall and Maynor have been servicing our business for the summer, absolutely professional. Will gladly work with them again!

Highly professional, efficient, and well-managed teams! Local Roots Landscaping completely redesigned and transformed our backyard hillside, as well as installing an underdeck concrete patio and creating an accent planting bed. From the outset, Paul and April quickly coordinated the project, while Evan crafted a beautiful and thoughtful blueprint. Will, Adan, and Yonathan then brought the vision to life, skillfully enhancing the hillside with new trees and shrubs. Finally, Josh, CJ, and Jose completed the project with a nicely finished concrete patio. Each team approached their work with great professionalism, attention to detail, and seamless collaboration. Throughout the on-site work, Will, Matt, and Greg maintained clear and timely communication, ensuring we were always informed. We are truly impressed with the amazing service and results delivered by the entire team!

Jason, Leroy, and Dre did an amazing job creating a parking spot in under two days! They even tested it out to make sure it’s perfect.

We enjoyed working with Local Roots for our backyard redesign. Their team was very knowledgeable and professional along each phase of the project. There were a lot of unknowns with our project due to hillside and existing retaining walls, but Local Roots quickly adapted to find a solution and make our project a success. There were many moving parts in our project between excavation, multiple types of retaining walls, artificial turf, sandstone steps, and a custom Trex composite deck. Local Roots made sure each team worked together to ensure the project came together even better than we had hoped! They had many team members involved in our project and they were all great to work with. Special thanks to Rob & Brandon on their great carpentry skills, Greg running project management, Doug who is a master on the excavator, Ken, Matt, Donnie on design, Paul for scoping the project, and Kenneth & Patrick as active owners who were always available to answer questions and consistently checked-in on the project. I would definitely hire Local Roots again for my next project.

The Company does not adhere to standards or take responsibility.
- During the sales process, we explicitly instructed the company not to prune our recently planted shrubs, plants we had invested thousands of dollars in purchasing, planting, and maintaining. Despite this clear directive, the company’s staff proceeded to prune them according to their so-called “standard procedure”, in an unprofessional way and at an inappropriate time of the year. This resulted in significant damage to the plants. The company failed to respond to multiple phone calls and emails regarding the issue. When they finally replied, they dismissed it as a “misunderstanding” during the sales process and refused to take any accountability for the damage caused.
- As a result of the above issue and other concerns, I called the company with a clear instruction that no staff member would be allowed to enter the property without my prior approval and until a manager contacted me directly to address the concern. The manager never called. Instead, the company unilaterally canceled the contract without fulfilling their obligations or addressing the prior damage. Despite the cancellation of the contract and my explicit directive that their crew was not allowed on the property, a crew member returned without notice, entered the property, performed unauthorized work, and I subsequently received an invoice for that unauthorized visit.

Kendell, Maynor and Christian did a great job with our lawn care. Very happy with the results.

Make sure you go in with a clear vision of what you want done. They will overcharge for design fees. I paid several thousand dollars in design/planning fees, even before any work was ever started on my backyard. They also had to come to my house twice for measurements, charged for 2 hours even though they were physically present for 1 hour each time, and charged me for both visits which were ultimately redundant. Expect heavy invoice fees and to be overcharged compared to other contractors.

These guys are Rockstars. They do beautiful design work and installation. I will have them back for yearly maintenance. Their staff is very professional and friendly. THANK YOU..

They didn't do landscaping for me, but we're doing a job at Wendy's in Leechburg today, and didn't even stop when I pulled up to place an order. I have allergies as well, so that makes things a lot worse, I complained at the Wendy's window and the girl said that's their normal... well it's rude! Wendy's needs to hire someone else!!
