“Smitha is a great landscape designer, who combines a deep knowledge of the plants with the ability to listen carefully to a customer and understand their needs before coming up with the design. I was impressed with her drive to understand in detail what we are looking for and what we are trying to achieve before proposing any solutions. Her design was simple, clean and fully satisfied with our requirements. I also liked the fact that she was always on time and prepares everything according to the promised schedule.”

Smitha started Rooted in Landscape in 2017 to help residential clients bring their landscape visions to life. Her approach is personal: elegant but bold, functional outdoor spaces that reflect the people who live in them.
From a welcoming front entrance to a complete garden transformation, it begins with understanding what home means to you.

In our clients’ own words. All three complete testimonials from the original Rooted in Landscape website.
“Smitha is very knowledgeable about landscape design ideas and plant selection, especially for the typical terrain and weather in the Pacific Northwest. She took all our requirements and tastes into account while recommending the ideal design for our backyard. She was upfront and honest about budgetary considerations and provided us with pricing estimates that were very close to the final invoice. Smitha’s recommendations on plants in the backyard and containers showed a very deep understanding of botanical aspects, suitability to the Pacific Northwest, and our requirements.”

“Smitha has designed containers for me for the last 3 years. I always get many compliments about my front entrance and it is such a delight to look at throughout the year. She is honest, punctual and responds to questions and issues promptly. She is very practical (and) clear-headed. The little artistic touches she added to my garden are absolutely delightful! She is really knowledgeable about plants and trees and Northwest gardening. I am very lucky to have found a landscape architect like her. “
