What They’re Saying

It is with great pleasure that I write a glowing testimonial for Dean and the team at Urban Roots. They have just completed another significant garden installation for us, and once again it was handled with great diligence, care, and adaptability. Dean is an excellent communicator and ensured that our landscape architect's vision was executed to the highest standard.
He sourced high quality plant stock and ensured the preparation of beds and irrigation was such that they have thrived. The staff at Urban Roots were hard working and did a great job of getting the work done and leaving the house pristine afterwards. Dean's follow up visits have been great and showed his commitment to ensuring we have a healthy, happy garden.

In most circumstances I use my own team to do all of our landscape installations.
On occasion we tender out our projects and the only landscape contractor I have ever worked with who have the same high standards as my company is Urban Roots.
Dean Aikin and his qualified staff show meticulous attention to detail and are competitively priced. They are also efficient communicators and have a diligent maintenance team to do follow up maintenance once the project is complete.
I would recommend them highly for any high end residential landscape installation.

Dean and his team from Urban Roots have been responsible for our wonderful garden since inception nearly 10 years ago. They are professional, friendly and helpful. We would recommend them for planning, planting/implementation and any garden install and maintenance that you may require.

We recently renovated in Curl Curl and with the new feel and layout to our home we wanted the same for the garden. Urban Roots recognised our needs and cleverly sketched up a design to complement our home and reflect our style. The team were fantastic and consulted with us right from the initial planning process through to the final installation. The works were completed on time and within budget and tweaking some ideas as we went was never a problem. We would strongly recommend Urban Roots for any landscape needs and would definitely use them again if the need arises.

It's been 5 years since Urban Roots installed our garden. They are as skilled and efficient in their weekly maintenance as they were when they did the landscaping.
The Bougainvillea California Gold that they planted back then seems to flower all year round. The weekly maintenance crew that Dean sends have a special touch.
We would recommend Urban Roots to anyone who cares about their garden.

The Urban Roots team did an outstanding job of installing our William Dangar designed garden. Our home is located on a challenging site with steep inclines, limited access and too many easements to count. Surrounded by neighbours, Dean solved all our privacy issues, and install the garden on time and on budget.
Since the install Urban Roots has been maintaining our gardens. They are professional, as quiet as can be, and always on top of what needs to be done.
They are fantastic, reliable and a steal for the work and effort they provide.
Dean leads a highly skilled and enthusiastic team, is himself very knowledgeable, a great communicator and very proactive. I recommend him and his team to everyone!

After assessing several landscaping companies we settled upon Urban Roots following the recommendation by my sister-in-law. Dean assisted with the design and plant selection for our garden including the rooftop terrace. We were delighted with the delivery and the overall finish of the landscaping.
Dean was always up front and honest with us throughout the whole process and the project was delivered on time. The result is stunning and we have had many compliments from friends and family alike. Urban Roots now maintain our garden with the same professionalism and great eye for detail.

Irene & Brian TanMcMahons Point

Dean from Urban Roots was highly recommended to us through the industry and from the onset he was proactive and informative in his approach.
Throughout the whole process Dean listened to our requirements, sourced high quality plant stock and made professional recommendations for alternative solutions when something was not available.
We had several challenges throughout the build including a green roof, visual privacy issues and a solid sandstone sub-base. Dean tackled all challenges without question and gave us the final product that we dreamed of.
I thank Dean and his team of enthusiastic landscapers and have continued to use Urban Roots for ongoing maintenance as they have been invested from the start and know our garden inside out.

Laing+Simmons Commercial have had the pleasure of working with Urban Roots for the last ten years. Over this period of time Urban Roots have acted in various capacities for us with jobs ranging from small one off gardening jobs to substantial regular maintenance programs.
At all times Dean and his team have acted professionally, often carrying out urgent works at short notice, providing knowledgeable advice whenever it has been needed and always carrying out the works on schedule and budget. We would have no problem in recommending Dean and the team.

Brendan O'BrienLaing+Simmons Commercial

Urban Roots carried out the installation of our extensive gardens and lawns over 7 years ago. Since then they have provided a garden maintenance service on a regular basis ensuring continual manicured gardens to the design intent of the Landscape Designer, Paul Bangay. Dean and his team are reliable, energetic, and proficient, and are relentless in their pursuit of the highest quality result, to the finest level of detail. This makes dealing with them a pleasure and I have no hesitation in recommending Urban Roots to those seeking any garden installation, maintenance, or both.
