Austin Rock N Root Garden

John and his crew are top notch. Being on time, consistent, and great work show the ethics in his desire to please his customers. I ask for special work, ask for his suggestions, and he is always trying to get what I want done in the best manner, at a price that works for me. He is tough on his workers and treats them like family at the same time… it show in their work, they do a job in a manner to be efficient on my time, and then they work just as hard on the clean up.
They are multi-​talented crew, and when they get started it is like they have done it many times. The equipment is always clean, and working great. Something I notice, because they take care of their tools of trade to do the best job without downtime.
John is a character and can sell a dog to a cat lover. But, he only tries his best to sell you what you need at a very competitive price.
He has performed many jobs for me for over the last 15 years, always timely, always at a price that fits my budget and better than anyone else. I recommend Rock-​N-​Root for your landscaping needs, projects, etc. very highly. I have never been to his nursery location, he always brings it with him when he checks on me or if I call for a project.

Rock N Root has done a fantastic job on a service project for Oak Hill Youth Sports Association. John agreed to sponsor a significant portion of the cost as we are a non-​profit. His crew did a fabulous job replacing an ancient retaining wall, putting in a lovely and useful one of native limestone in its place. Proper backfill and drainage ensures that our field won’t erode, and they were extremely courteous in ensuring that the work didn’t disrupt games or practices, finished in a reasonable time frame, and that the worksite held no hidden dangers from very curious 5 year olds. Kudos and much thanks.

I stopped by Rock-​N-​Root a couple weeks ago 1. because my Boss had recently told me about them and I had been wanting to check out their succulents 2. I happened to driving right past them and actually needed a succulent that did not warrant a drive out to Manor where we usually get our local wholesale plants.
I was already familiar with the property because it was formerly our plant wholesaler that moved to Manor. But now the new tenants are open to the public and give 25% discounts to wholesalers.
Their greenhouse is full of a large assortment of succulents and cactus and from the SE corner of the greenhouse it looks like they propagate all their succulents and cactus themselves!
I was only needing one 4″ succulent that day and Eric did not even charge me for it cause he was sure I would be back! And when I excitedly called by Boss to tell her she said that they won them a new customer! And that she will be stopping by soon to shop for some succulents for a Terrarium project! I posted pictures of the terrariums created with their succulents that turned out AWEsome!
They also sell all sorts of veggie and herb plants and if the tomatoes that are already producing fruit in the greenhouse are any indication — the sweetest tomatoes I have ever tasted!!!
I highly recommend them and will be back soon for both personal and wholesale purchases!

We used Austin Rock n Root for a major landscape installation that involved installing a dry laid flagstone path, addressing some tricky drainage issues, and installing (3) planting beds.
1. John Fosano and his crew led by Rudy did the most impressive flagging job I personally have ever seen. First, John recommended larger stones with tighter joints that turned out to be the correct call. It looks impressive and has not shifted 14 months after installation.
2. the drainage issues on our property were tricky in that there wasn’t a lot of natural slope to work with. John came up with a sensical plan to address them and did not break the bank in doing so. It was put to the test during this past summers 10+ inches of rain in an hour and a half.
3. The planting beds were well placed within the overall design and selections for the beds were good for the amount of sun and the look/​type of plants.
I would fully recommend Austin Rock and Root as I think you will get a fair price and quality work with quality and respectful workers. They will make sure you get what you want.
