beautify your backyard with our expertise.
At Bare Roots Gardening, we believe your backyard should be a space that reflects your personal style, all while meeting your needs. Whether you envision a lush garden, a space for entertaining, or something else, a well-designed backyard can transform your outdoor experience.
Your backyard landscaping is an investment that should improve over the years. However, picturing what your landscape will look like in a month from now, yet alone a year from now, is hard to do. This is where we come in. As backyard landscaping experts here in Columbia, South Carolina, we’ll create a plan based on your vision and put together a design that continues to grow into a beautiful space over the years.
Our Process
Our signature process results in incredible landscapes that speak to our clients’ needs and visions. Here’s a closer look at each step:
- Define the space—The first step is deciding how you’ll use your backyard. Will it be a quiet retreat, an outdoor living area, or a play space for children? Knowing the purpose will help us guide your design choices, making sure your backyard remains both functional and beautiful.
- Choose the right plants—We then consider which plants will go in your backyard. We consider the climate, soil, and sun exposure in your yard. Native plants are often a great choice because they are adapted to the local environment and require less water and maintenance. We’ll incorporate a mix of flowering plants, shrubs, and trees to add layers of texture and color.
- Create visual interest—We’ll incorporate focal points into your backyard design plan that add depth and structure to your design. Whether this is a striking tree or a water feature, we’ll draw the eye to certain areas to create a sense of balance in your landscape.

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.
