About Root Landscape Design
Hi, I’m Matt, owner of Root Designs and currently its’ sole Landscape Designer. I am honest, creative, reliable and take pride in my work and THE commitments I make to my clients. I am passionate about spaces being a balance of innovative beauty and functionality. Having been in this industry for 15 years, I love talking about all things landscape! But at my core I am also an artist, and just as a painting’s beauty is in the eye of the beholder. So should the beauty of the spaces I design be in the eyes of my clients. I create design plans for homeowners, business owners, municipalities, and for landscape professionals alike. Root Designs partners with many trusted professional contractors who can professionally implement your completed plan but also be a good fit for the project and for you. Also, I will be there along the way, representing your best interests, ensuring your vision is executed both perfectly and smoothly.

The Process
01.
Conceptual Design
The process at Root begins with a professional on-site design consultation. Starting at $100, the consultation will involve a site analysis, in-depth property assessment & onsite concept sketch with lead designer & sole owner, Matt Ulrichs, who will use his expertise, knowledge, and artistry to begin envisioning a design that compliments your home, refines your personal aesthetic, and fits within an established budget. The consultation fee will be applied to the total cost of the project if you choose to move forward with Root Designs.
02.
Design Rendering
The next step in my process is to turn the proposed conceptual design into a rendered visual of your project. A visual aid ensures the interface of thoughts and visions are consistent between the client and our design team. Within our design development, we internally ensure all specifications, municipality ordinance approvals, trade meetings, and materials pertaining to the conceptual direction are considered, communicated and identified to support the actual build process for the project. Design renderings vary in price and can be seen here.

Build Process
Not only do I help create your work of art, I will also assist in orchestrating the construction process by connecting you with one or more of my trusted specialists as well, depending on the project requirements. Or if you already have a preferred contractor lined up, I will continue to work with you side by side in ensuring your design is executed exactly as intended by offering to project manage for you. Project management starts at 50.00 per hour of oversite, which involves overseeing the entire project, and ensuring the plan comes together as it was envisioned and planned, saving you precious time and potential execution flaws that could occur otherwise.
