Peg Hamon

I loved working with RootBound to develop our new landscaping plan. Lani was very knowledgeable, professional, patient, and comforting to someone who is NOT a gardener. We could not have done it without her. And we are so pleased with the results.

Thank you Terri! Fun planning a front 'lawn' with no sod!

Lani has a great sense of design, a thorough knowledge of flora, and truly listens to client's wishes. Best of all, she is a delight to work with. I highly recommend her firm.

Mila Hill

We were desperately trying to find a landscaping company in our area when our previous arrangements failed in May of 2017. We came across of RootBound company by pure luck, and we were very impressed with their professionalism and service. Lani did a great design in a very short time. She listened and paid attention to every little detail we discussed, like the choice of plants, placing, the quantity, the color palette, and many others. She gave her advice and expertise as a project manager on every level of the project. She patiently worked with us answering numerous emails and questions by phone and sent us photos during different stages of the project. Though, the company was booked initially for a season, they were able to work with us on our schedule and complete our project just on time. We are very pleased with RootBound and highly recommend them for anybody who is looking for a creative and professional landscaping company.

Thank you for always having tea ready as we sat down to meet and discuss your special space! It was my pleasure to be of help and I look forward to the next phase of working together!

Lisa Miller Farber

Lani was great to work with! She was knowledgeable about what plants would work well in our landscaping and provided options when I didn't like something. She was professional and timely and I'm very pleased with our end result!

Patti Ther

Thanks to RootBound for transforming my back deck into an awesome patio space that we are enjoying immensely! Lani and Garth were so easy to work with. Lani listened to what we wanted and created a unique design that was perfect for us. With Lani's knowledge of the industry, helping me choose stone and plants, and Garth's expertise for setting the topography right, it was fun and exciting to work with them and watch it all come together. I would recommend them without hesitation. In fact, I can't wait to move on to planning another wonderful outside space with RootBound very soon!

Thank you Patti! I love working with you and am enjoying the process as your side courtyard space design is taking shape!

Karen Koch

I worked with RootBound on a project that included redesigning the entire landscape of a home. The hardscape layout and design was very unique and gave the landscape an international feel. The plantings set off the hardscape beautifully bringing the project together in an almost artistic way.

Comment from RootBound:

Collaborating with Functional Homes and you, Karen brought needed accessibility to the site! I look forward to working together on future projects!

strine

From start to finish, Rootbound listened and embraced our vision for an outdoor entertaining area that was unique, beautiful and functional. Lani's attention to detail and ability to coordinate every detail of the project was spot on. If we had a question, comment or concern she made sure we were satisfied with her answer. I would highly recommend Rootbound.

What fun to work with such detail oriented souls! The pleasure was mine!

Glen and Claudia Kettering

We used Lani Woodruff's landscaping company numerous times over several years and were very happy with the results for each project. These projects included fencing, landscaping (multiple plantings of trees, shrubs and flowers), patios, walkways, grading and foundation planting. Ms. Woodruff was indispensable to us during the planning phase. After visiting our home and sitting down to discuss our goals, she always came up with detailed drawings and plans that made sense of our ideas, and added insight and knowledge that made our objectives possible. She kept to the timetable and budget promised, but also allowed us to add, or make changes, during the projects. She visited the site often during each project. We would definitely use Ms. Woodruff again and highly recommend her.

Loved our planning sessions over tea in your warm kitchen!

The best part of my expoerience with RootBound was the fact that Lani provided "one stop shopping". From the overall designof the landscaping project, installaton and fire pit fabrication, Lani was my one call to do it all. She did not try to oversell what I had invisioned for the landscaping project and was completely on time, on budget and followed up during and after the project started. She promptly returned my phone calls and all correspondence. The installation crew was extremely flexible and accommodating to my last minute changes. I found the pricing to be very reasonable. All in all, I give RootBound a five star rating.
