“My husband and I bought our house two years ago and spent ten months turning it into our forever home. Bri came highly recommended from friends of ours and we cannot say enough about her and her team at Rooted Landscape Design Studio. Brianah took the time to walk our space and listen to our long wish list which included an outdoor kitchen, a fire pit with seating, and a beautiful (water-friendly) garden with flowers. She took our list of wants and designed something better than we ever could have imagined. We spend more time in our backyard than ever before and we love hosting our friends and family out on the patio for dinner, they are always so impressed with our beautiful outdoor space.”

“My partner and I lovingly restored a historic home in San Clemente, CA and wanted to create something very personal for the landscape and gardens that would complement our original 1920s Spanish home. We found Rooted Landscape Design Studio through Instagram. We loved Brianah’s portfolio and were happy to learn she didn’t provide just one style of landscaping and gardens.

We connected our contractor and Brianah to discuss the installation plans. She walked us through her design process and asked about our vision for the space, guiding us toward the best use of low-water plants while providing year-round color, fragrance, and easy maintenance. Her imaginative combinations of permeable hardscape materials, and interesting plant textures were a great surprise to us. We had an idea of what we wanted, but she helped us take it to the next level without complexity.

Brianah provided the design layout for the hardscape, laid out the plants on site to help our contractor’s team ensure everything was accurately installed according to the design, and stayed on site to ensure if any changes needed to be made, she could keep the crews and project moving.

It was such a joy to have this experience carry us through the finish line and everything turned out even better than we expected.”

“We recently relocated from the east coast to enjoy the beautiful weather and made Newport our new home. Our home was built in the late 90s, so it came with a cracked and stained cement patio and a lot of overgrown landscape. We noticed our neighbor’s beautiful front yard and when we asked about it, they recommended Brianah from Rooted Landscape Design Studio. We were shocked how quickly her team was able to turn our overgrown backyard and front yard into a beautiful and peaceful oasis for us. Our backyard went from a place that we didn’t want others to see, to a space we love to entertain in. My wife and I enjoy a glass of wine with our new fire bowl nearly every night for sunset. Bri’s vision and attention to detail really changed our home.”

“Bri met with us and asked us to create a wish list of all the things we would love to have in our backyard. My husband wanted a pizza oven, a grill, and a hidden wine fridge as a part of his outdoor kitchen. My wish list included a small fountain, a covered outdoor dining area with overhead heaters, and a separate built-in seating area around a fire pit. Bri delivered every bit of our wish list and was thoughtful enough to choose plants that not only would thrive in our space but were non-toxic for our dogs! We never thought we could love out backyard as much as we do, it’s our favorite part of our home now and my husband’s wine fridge is perfectly hidden beneath the countertop of his outdoor kitchen.”

“I reached out to Rooted Landscape Design via Yelp! I explained I needed to designate a space for work, but I wanted to see if she had ideas to create a workspace for me outside instead of a standard office inside. Brianah came up with great design options and solutions to the existing backyard.

The guys working on site were clean, on time, respectful, easy to communicate with, and Brianah was on site every day that the crews were. This was important to me as I did not have time to manage anyone during the weekday and design is not my specialty.

I had Rooted Landscape Design back out to install a built-in firepit in the spring along with having Brianah help me select patio furniture, pots, and plants for the rest of the backyard and front entrance.”

“We weren't sure where to begin the process for our project or how to choose a landscape design team. After our first consultation, Brianah gave us a variety of options for working with her and her team. This included: providing designs for the project with both hardscape and plant selections, planting layout, landscape lighting design, outdoor furniture, pots and unique furnishings, samples of materials she proposed in her design, providing crews she works with regularly, personally managing the project, and providing a list of maintenance companies for aftercare if we didn’t have one. She explained we could select only the segments we felt we needed for our project, or have her company provide a full-service, all-inclusive scope of work for the entire project.

We hired Brianah for the full start-to-finish process. She was on-site daily managing the crews and was there for all deliveries and any questions we had during the project. Her horticultural knowledge was insightful, helping us understand why some of our visions for the outdoor space would not work, but that there was always a good alternative for the longevity of our project and investment.
