Customer Reviews





We were about to lose a dogwood my father planted when I was a child due to renovations. OakRoot safely transplanted it to a new location in our yard. It’s thriving—and still blooming each spring.





OakRoot didn’t just plant trees. They assessed our yard, explained soil drainage, sun exposure, and helped us choose native species that would succeed long-term. You can tell they’re true professionals.





They helped us map and preserve a 120-year-old beech tree on our family property. They even created a framed document with its history for us to keep. Just beautiful work.





A tree in our front yard was shedding leaves too early and looked sick. OakRoot performed root zone enhancement and within two seasons, it was healthy again. You could see the difference.





I hired OakRoot to plant six trees around my new patio. They looked at wind patterns, shade, even soil moisture. My yard now has beauty and shade all year.





OakRoot helped plant and map over 50 trees across the park. Their work added value to the community, and they educated our team on long-term tree care.





You feel like OakRoot genuinely cares. They took the time to explain everything, didn’t rush, and followed up two weeks later to check on our new tree. Who does that? Highly recommend!





The back of our lot was a hard, dry mess. Their root zone work softened the soil, added nutrients, and now our trees are leafing out like never before. Total transformation.
