Origin Story

How Sustainable Roots began

Sustainable Roots started in 2020 with a simple conviction: the landscapes around us could be doing so much more. Andrew and Reid saw yards filled with potential. Spaces that could feed pollinators, shelter birds, and bring native ecosystems back into the neighbourhoods where people actually live. They decided to build a company around making that happen.

Since then, the work has grown from backyard pollinator gardens to municipal reforestation projects and everything in between. But the heart of it hasn't changed. Every project, whether it's a single native tree in a front yard or a thousand planted along a creek is rooted in the same belief: that healthier ecosystems start where we live, and that anyone can be part of restoring them.
