What Ground Roots Builds

Anything you can commission in wood

Ground Roots isn't a product line. It's a workshop. If it can be built from solid timber and built to last, it can be made to order. These are the pieces clients commission most.

Tables

Dining, coffee, side and live-edge tables, sized to your room and built around how you actually use them.

Chairs & Seating

Chairs, benches and stools engineered for comfort and everyday durability, matched to your table or on their own.

Shelving & Storage

Built-ins, bookcases and cabinetry fitted to your walls and your things, not forced to fit a standard size.

Custom Commissions

Have something specific in mind? Bring the idea. If it can be made in wood, it can be built here: one of one.

Selected Work

A look at the craft

Twenty years of finished pieces live in clients' homes. These frames are ready for that work. Real project photos drop straight in.

How Commissioning Works

Never commissioned custom furniture? It's simple.

Most people haven't ordered a made-to-measure piece before. Here's the whole path, start to finish: four steps, no surprises.

01

Conversation

You reach out with the idea. We talk through what you want, where it goes, and how you'll use it.

02

Design & Spec

Dimensions, wood, finish and a clear price are agreed before any cutting begins.

03

The Build

Your piece is built by hand, one at a time, with the care two decades of experience brings.

04

Delivery

The finished piece is delivered and set in place, ready to live with for decades.

Before You Reach Out

Quick answers

How much does a custom piece cost?

Every quote is specific to your piece: size, wood and detail all factor in. You'll get a clear price before any work begins.

How long does a commission take?

Custom work isn't same-week. You'll get a realistic timeline up front, based on the piece and the current schedule.

Can you build from a photo or sketch?

Yes, bring a photo of something similar or a rough sketch, and it's shaped into a buildable spec together.
