Create a place outside you’ll love to call “home.”
At Bare Roots Gardening, we don’t just design landscapes—we craft outdoor experiences that excite the senses, enhance relationships, and welcome nature.
Unlike your house or car, your landscape is an investment that just gets better with age. But envisioning what a dynamic, living landscape will look like next month, much less next year, is difficult.
With over a decade experience in landscape design and construction and expertise in plants, our team at Bare Roots Gardening can turn your vision into a landscape design that excites the senses, celebrates seasonal change, and is easy to maintain, too!
We do landscaping different
Unlike other landscape design professionals who use a handful of standard plants and features, we pride ourselves on creating diverse garden environments that can benefit people, pollinators, and wildlife.
We are part of the movement to make natural-style gardening and landscaping the new industry standard, and we generate diverse, resilient landscapes that have positive impacts on the surrounding environment.
We are not a “mow and blow” or “plant and run” landscape design firm – we design process-driven landscapes that grow with you and your needs, bringing you a lifetime of joy.

Landscape Design FAQs
What key factors should I consider for my landscape in Columbia?
When envisioning your landscape, the focus should be on your personal needs and style. Consider how you’ll utilize the space, your maintenance preferences, and the overall aesthetic you desire. Think about the flow and arrangement of different areas – for instance, placing key spaces like patios or gardens in accessible locations. A well-planned landscape should complement your family’s lifestyle, with a thoughtful flow and layout that places key areas close together for convenience.
In Columbia, a popular trend is reducing lawn areas and incorporating native plant landscaping and hardscaped patios. This approach not only creates a beautiful, functional space for your family but also supports local wildlife, aligning with South Carolina’s natural environment.
How much should I expect to pay for a landscape design and installation in Columbia?
Landscaping project costs can vary widely, but at Bare Roots Gardening, we focus on aligning with your budget from the outset. For a comprehensive front yard enhancement in Columbia, including soil prep, sod laying, planting, mulching, and a new irrigation system, prices generally start around $15,000. If you’re looking at a complete landscape overhaul, you’re likely to begin at about $25,000. During our consultation and design phase, we’ll guide you through prioritizing your needs and wants, helping to set a realistic budget that brings your vision to life without compromising on quality.
