I have been enjoying my new backyard for two months now and I still am thrilled every time I step out the back door. James and Louis did an excellent job from start to finish. James heard what my budget was and made sure to give details on price for each component of the job so that I could prioritize and understand where my money was going. Louis and his crew were either on the job every day or very conscientious about letting me know if they expected a delay. They got the job done quickly and within the time frame I was told originally even with a few rain delays. There were a few items that I decided to change during the actual work and James was great about accommodating me and making sure I was satisfied with the end result. My back yard remodel with Deep Rooted was a great decision and it has allowed me to truly enjoy the San Diego lifestyle every day.

What I liked most about working with the Deep Rooted Design crew was their desire to make sure we were satisfied with the end result. As with any project, you have things that come up that change and evolve as the project is underway. The key is making sure you're on the same page, communicating as much as possible along the way so you end up with what you had envisioned.
In the beginning the design was very well executed by Megan. Her knowledge of plants and design, as well as, her ability to take my ideas and skillfully render them into a beautiful blueprint made this process very enjoyable. It's also important to me that as hard as these guys work on demolition, laying a flagstone patio and pathway, spreading crushed rock etc. they seem to be treated well by management. I know this comes from good leadership, and James gives the impression that he cares. His project coordinator, Luis, is also someone who is trustworthy, and dependable. If I ever had a concern or question, he always responded in a timely manner, and I felt like I could count on him to make sure things got done.
Overall, it was a pleasant experience working with the whole crew.

We met James and the Deep Rooted crew first when they were a subcontractor to the general contractor doing a backyard remodel for us. From the beginning I was impressed with their engagement in the project and their desire to make sure we were satisfied with all the details. They also have a talented workforce that handles not only landscaping but also complex carpentry. We're we're so satisfied with them that we brought them back as the prime contractor to do our front yard. James is refreshingly honest and forthright, creative, reasonably priced, and he beat his schedule. I would highly recommend that you consider Deep Rooted for your exterior remodeling needs; they manage themselves professionally, work productively, and deliver high quality results.

I rarely write reviews but James and crew did such an incredible job I had to let people know. It was an awesome experience to work with James from Deep Rooted Designs. His project manager Louie and all of the employees were simply incredible. Having worked with a variety of contractors I can honestly say that James and his team were the easiest and nicest people my wife and I have ever worked with. The entire experience from concept to creation was truly a delight.
Neither my wife nor I have an artistic eye. When we first delved into this project, we figured we needed to start with a designer that could help us put together a water wise beautiful yard. The first few landscapers we met with simply listened to our idea and quoted us a price without much input. When we met James, we knew he was the one; there was no doubt. We told him we wanted someone that can design a contemporary yard with minimal input from us and he came back with a beautiful vision. He didn't just quote a drought tolerant yard -- he brought creative and artistic ideas to the table that we never would of thought of. His passion and insight for modern landscapes brought us to the realization that there was so much more we could do to beautify our yard than we ever imagined.
The other thing I have to mention is just the great employees James has working with him. I can’t say enough about Louie who was our on-site manager for the project. Louie treated us not like just another job but like a close friend. He answered all of our questions and stayed on top of any concerns we had every step of the way. James and Louie really made going through this big project for us a lot less stressful. Their employees were friendly, on-time and worked hard every day until the job was complete. They left each day with everything picked up, swept and as clean as a job-site can be. Louie was frequently on the job-site and he made himself available to us throughout the entire process.
James is all about high quality designs that may not be the cheapest bid you get but as they say “You get what you pay for”. I can tell you from our experience that James is honest, fair and has an impeccable work ethic that is sorely lacking in some businesses today.
James showed us that drought-tolerant and low maintenance yards can be GORGEOUS if you have the right person do the work. He showed us that he can do amazing things like bring a North Park vibe to the back country of Lakeside! Trust me you won't regret going with James Fahy at Deep Rooted Designs!

I knew when renovating my home, the outdoor space was going to be just as important as the inside. I wanted something that complemented the century old craftsman but was modern, comfortable, and importantly, dog friendly. The home I bought had fences held up by shrubs, driveways jacked up by trees, and an inexplicable hot tub connected to a rickety deck that made you want to stay inside. This was both a design and construction job that was more than I was able to do alone.
James and his team delivered beyond expectations. The design is at the same time beautiful, practical, and liveable. James took the time to learn what was important to me in a design and delivered something I could not have envisioned myself. More importantly, as reality of the build began they quickly adjusted to the "unique" challenges of the site, and made choices that only ever improved the original plan. Those who have renovated a house know at some point you hit "decision overload". James' team made it easy for me to let go of some of those decisions and trust they would deliver a product that I would love. I can not say enough about how much I appreciated their responsiveness throughout the project, and more importantly the continuous oversight of the work. What you pay for in Project Management is not an extra but a necessity. During progress assessments and final walk through there was barely a detail he and Luis had not already seen and corrected (or had proactive plans to address). This is a true design-build company, and they follow through from beginning to end.
If you have a project, put James and his crew on your short list.

I just can't say enough about James and his team! We have worked side-by-side on several large scale projects this year, and the results have been astounding!
Our first project together was on a historical Craftsman home in Normal Heights this summer. My company was contracted to do a full interior modernization of the interior and Deep Rooted Designs was hired on to do the exterior design. It was a HUGE undertaking, and as a designer, it can be difficult to give up control to another design team when so much of your work is dependant on theirs. James did not dissappoint! From front to back, the property was completely transformed to a modern, drought-tolerant paradise that complimented the house perfectly!
The main thing that sets Deep Rooted Designs apart from other landscape design firms is that their goal isn't just to give their clients a nice looking yard. James provides comprehensive and innovative design plans, with the intent of creating beautiful and fully-functional outdoor living spaces. It's evident that he really tries to put himself in the client's shoes and thinks about how the space is actually going to be used. From conceptual design phase to completetion, James and his team go the extra mile to ensure that the vision is realized. That level of design and service is what I expect from my own team, and has lead me to refer Deep Rooted Designs on subsequent projects.
I highly recommend Deep Rooted Designs, and look forward to collaborating with them for many years to come.

James and his team know exactly what they are doing when it comes to outdoor living spaces. They don't just focus on the landscape, but help formulate and create the image and feel that the client is looking for. Top notch designs and extremely knowledgeable when it comes to different landscapes, sizes and direction the job needs to take. As well as being an extreme pleasure to work with...these guys know what they are doing!
Thanks for making San Diego look even better Deep Rooted Designs!

These guys rock. I am a Real Estate Broker and I needed a company that could give my clients ideas, quotes and completion of landscape projects. Most companies were inconsistent with lack of follow through. When I reached out, James got back to me within an hour and we scheduled an appointment. He came out and gave my client several ideas along with different levels of costs which was nice. He didn't try to force an idea or high priced plan down their throat. Clients
Loved them. Would highly recommend!

Comment from Deep Rooted Designs, Inc.:
Thanks for the review Jeff I appreciate your recommendation and hope to work with you and your clients again in the future.
James has an amazing vision for your outdoor space. He has created a 'useful' gorgeous space out of something very bland. Not only this, but he is really wonderful to work with. The last thing I appreciate is that he is very aware of drought resistant plants that is crucial in Southern California!

After completing a 2-phase home remodel and 1 landscape project we were fairly familiar with the design and build process. Given maintenance and water requirements of the existing landscape we elected to convert our water intensive landscape to a water-wise oasis. The project encompassed removing and replacing approx.6000sq of softscape and hardscape material. James Fahy (Owner) distinguished himself above the other firms we interviewed given his skill set (both hard and softscapes (hard to find someone that does both), knowledge, proposal/renderings and enthusiasm. Their creative concepts encompassed our desire for a tranquil environment that allowed for improved usage of our yard and water. Unlike most contractors (especially landscapers) James was fully involved in the project from start to finish. His attentiveness and responsiveness during the entire process were AMAZING! This alone would distinguish him as a leader in the industry but the final project they created definitely catapults him as a PREMIER landscaper.
As with most landscape projects some plants struggle from stress and James & his team are right there to help replace them to ensure your yard and their project look its best. We would not hesitate to recommend Deep Rooted Design to anyone and have done so on many occasions.

We have recently redone our front and back yard from a high water landscape to desert oasis. Having never undertaken such a project we had no idea what to expect or how much such a project might cost or even who to ask to assume such a major renovation. After interviewing many potential landscape firms we selected Deep Rooted Designs who impressed us during our visit to the Old House Fair in South Park.
Right from the outset, James and his project manager Louie were incredible attentive to our needs and design ideas. Every step throughout the project, we were kept current and enjoyed outstanding customer service with an incredible responsiveness to text messages and phone calls. Simply put, these guys were on it!! In addition to James and Louie we received outstanding customer service from Mikey, Efrain and really everyone involved with the project. Deep Rooted Design did an amazing job; neighbors and bypassers stop to admire the sophisticated landscape look with retaining walls, redwood fence and custom designs. Deep Rooted Designs did something most companies do not do nowadays, they EARNED our highest rating and we strongly recommend Deep Rooted Design for its unmatched customer service, quality, and careful attention to the work.
