Good experience overall. Had to install new patio after a patio fire. The owner (Stevhan) takes personal charge of the project and took the time to talk through various options (i.e. stone choice, pattern etc.).the work was delivered as agreed. There was no upsell or last minute additional charges. They even concrete plastered a small portion of a basement wall within the quoted price. The clean job could have been better but i am happy with the final result. .Overall, i would recommend this company.

The project was started on time and finished before the deadline. Stevhan is incredibly diligent in communication and was very attentive to questions we had about the project.

Roots N Shoots installed stone steps, a stone walkway, and replaced a stone retaining wall. They also installed sod at the end of the project. Stevhan is the most responsive contractor I have ever worked with. The work was completed on time and within the quoted price. Highly recommend!!

How do I begin to tell you the EXCELLENT workmanship the Company has provided. The workers were outstanding, kind, caring, and hard working. The owner Steven was an out right Gentlemen, Very unusual in this line of work, PROFESSIONAL! Steven made sure we were satisfied with every detail of the project. We had beautiful landscaping, sod grass with such detail to planting of shrubs, grass and tree. Beautiful paver were laid by hand in our driveway and patio, a paver design walkway, granite steps front and back, rod iron railings, and the pillars were laid by hand and NOT pre-made. We also had retaining walls built. I CAN'T believe it is my HOME. Thank you Steve and crew for your excellent workmanship , care, and QUALITY WORK. I highly recommend Roots N' Shoots for your NEXT project. ! Come see my HOUSE!! Sincerely, Ray and Nancy

My project was a large asphalt driveway with 6 course cobble inlays allowing for drainage of heavy rain at the driveway entrance, at the height of the wrap around driveway as well as at the entry of the 3 car garage . The project involved stone repair of two worn concrete decks with granite framing of the steel mountain grey stone I choose. This enhancement was topped off with wrought iron rails to support the look. I admired Stevhan's vision and insight to suggest design options with cobbles to showcase my deck of my multifamily home and garden. The crew was diligent, timely, and Stevhan made periodic visits to ensure customer satisfaction as well as supervise the work.

Roots 'n Shoots recently finished our permeable blue stone patio and we couldn't be happier. They show up on time, are super nice and even were able to help us with a few extra things all for a reasonable price.

Stevhan and his team were excellent, not only do they work extremely hard, they are great people and friendly to talk to. They installed a large walkway and patio for me in just 3 days and did a fantastic job. We couldnâ t be happier. I highly recommend using Roots N Shoots for your next masonry project.

Stevhan and his crew did and amazing job. They replaced a 70 year old retaining wall and the results are far more than we expected. Stevhan and his crew are honest, responsive, and true craftsmen. They went out of their way to make sure even the smallest change request was taken care of. I would recommend them to anyone looking for quality stone work and they were a pleasure to work with.

I have paid Roots n Shoots 150k from March 2020 to July 2021, they havent finished my new landscaping construction by now. The owner Stevhan forced me to sign a release future litigation and lawsuits to him and his company plus remove building a outdoor fireplace from contact, otherwise they wont come to finish current jobs in process. They blocked my driveway and steps by stones. I have call police to see the worksite. Leaving many comer sods uninstalled.. Stevhan warned me not to talk to his employees. He imagined I hired his guys worked to me in back of him. I am so disappointed with the company.

"Ying, Thank you for taking the time to write your review, and just so we are clear and both on the same page. Your original scope of work was to have a specific number of services including cutting and grinding 100 trees around your property, a walkway on the left side of your property, an embankment retaining wall built out of natural stone that was 350 linear feet long 2.5? in height, a second retaining wall, French Drain Installation, a new driveway including removal of the old 10,000 square foot driveway and Installation of the new driveway, a walkway entering your home with (12) solid granite steps ranging from 6? to 7? not including 8? solid granite steps we installed around your property. The walkway and steps we installed in order to pass inspection by the building inspector which was approved and we are able to move into your home. Veneering the left side under your deck, veneering both sides of your 3 car garage, a second walkway, a vegetable garden constructed out of wood, 20,000 sq feet of Kentucky Blue Grass Sod, Irrigation around your entire property, Out of scopes services including purchasing and installation of plantings, more screened loam, moving large boulders which you paid one of my employees cash and my former foreman cash in my absence. Installation of a fire pit in your backyard. Then the Town of Concord halted you because you are within 100 yards of the wetlands and at the same time Covid happened and you had to hire Stamski and McNary, Inc engineering to help assist with approval to cut trees. That process took one year to resolve and during that time you were not satisfied with using Community Tree to remove your trees so you hired Marquis Tree Service and at that time you changed your mind countless times about what you wanted to remove from the original scope of work so my lawyer wrote up a modification to our original landscape construction contract which you signed on November 9th, 2020 without force, to removal several services including tree work, fireplace, reduction of embankment retaining wall. The remaining work to be completed at that time was sod, irrigation, driveway installation, embankment retaining wall. All work has been completed including a new driveway, sod, irrigation, walkway, solid granite steps, French drain, veneer, plantings. All that remains is a 6? section by 2? high of the embankment retaining wall, corners, and caps for a Belgard Allen block wall and a 5? section x 5? veneer. On Wednesday, July 21st an offer was presented to you in a text message which I wrote; Ying, we are not installing the fireplace and In exchange, you keep the payment of $3,166.67 and we will finish the following: -Concrete Wall -Natural Wall -Veneer -Remove soil hill on the stump -Front garage pavers need repair and poly sand -Clean soil and sand on the driveway by the pond The completion date will be by End of September 2021 for the above-referenced work. Do you agree to this and upon completion, you release me of any other work to be done at your home, and you release me of any future litigation or lawsuits against Stevhan Kardell or my company Roots ? n Shoots, LLC? Did you reply? Ok? Then you kept insisting on the Installation of a fireplace that you removed from our modified contract and I explained we agreed you wanted to removed the fireplace. At that time you then called the Concord please telling them we blocked your driveway with rocks the police officer told me that he moved the three or four rocks for us. Making false statements to try and gain leverage over people because you have money and or bullying them to try to prove a point is unacceptable. Credit is due where credit is warranted, you are out of line. To all my future clients our ratings and reviews show the type of work ethic we have and we cannot please everyone. We try our best to deliver exceptional customer service all the time."

Our new wall is beautiful. Stevhan and his crew did a professional job, communicated whenever necessary, and were very respectful of our space. We were also impressed by how they cleaned up after their job, taking care of all the details. We would happily hire them again.

Stevhan is an amazing landscaper. Superb work all around. Stevhan patiently listened and offered suggestions. He had a vision as to what to do to transform our neglected yard. And he did just that. He turned our messy, ugly yard into a beautiful space. With 4 huge bobcat machines, he removed and rebuilt two retaining walls. He also did massive landscaping.. He pulled out many overgrown bushes, planted flowers and various small bushes, he fixed our walkway, took piles of brush from 15 years. He moved huge stones in front of our driveway to showcase better. I canâ t say enough about Stevhanâ s professional work, his great personality and his commitment to excellence. And all for a lot less than prices quoted by other landscapers. Thanks, Stevhan.

Stevhan did a great job converting our vision into reality and our landscaping looks fantastic. The team were flexible and courteous and managed through challenges when they arose. We had hardscaping, landscaping and new sod installed and are very happy with the finished product.

We needed major work done in front of our house: a wider driveway (paved, with a drywell), a new front path, a new set of front steps, and a new sewer line (to replace the faulty old one). Stevhan and his crew were efficient and hardworking, and the job was done within two weeks, faster than expected. The end result is lovely - aesthetically pleasing, and solid, with a deep drywell, new retaining wall, and nice pavers. Stevhan was a pleasure to work with - responsive, made good suggestions, and tried to make sure we were pleased with the job. He was also able to adapt when unforeseen problems arose - a major gas line meant we had to widen the driveway on the other side, and a boundary marker (which we didn't know about) limited our room for action. His genial crew even liked our coffee and cookies! I warmly recommend him for work of this nature.

We met with a few other landscapers in the area, and we really appreciated Stevhan's attitude, professionalism, and expertise. We needed our front yard to be filled in with sod, and decided to replace a small tree and add a perennial garden at the same time. Stevhan was responsive by phone and email throughout the planning and installation process, answering any questions we had along the way. His crew picked up the plants and a small tree that we had picked out at a local nursery, then worked with us to customize the layout and placement on site. Everyone we interacted with at Roots 'N Shoots was helpful, personable, and attentive. Stevhan came by during the installation to oversee details and give specific instructions for the next few weeks' of yard care to ensure the plants all settle in well. We definitely recommend them, and will plan on reaching out again for any future landscaping projects we encounter.

We met with multiple contractors prior to choosing Roots 'N Shoots. Stevhan was very responsive and communicated clearly and promptly when plans needed to be changed. He is great to work with and his crew were great, building us a beautiful retaining wall, replanting some trees, and getting the work done faster than expected. Will hire again.

Roots 'N Shoots did a great job transforming out front yard. Stevhan and his crew had the tools and skill necessary to remove at strip of asphalt, a retaining wall and concrete curbing. They then leveled, installed a beautiful cobblestone border along two good size mulch beds, sodded and planted 30+ bushes and trees. Stevhan did not have a couple areas of work in his original quote but was very professional and fair in delivering our expected result and then some. Stevhan was great with communicating with us during the project and would certainly work with him and his crew again.

Stevhan and his crew did an amazing job on my lawn. They showed up when they said they would and kept us informed through the whole process. I happen to be out of state during the time but Stevhan always communicated with me through text and with step by step pictures. I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a new lawn.
