Our Roots

From 3.5″ to a Multi-Million-Dollar Company

From our roots to this “I had just started out in the landscape business when a woman about 80 walked out with a yardstick and complained her grass wasn’t cut a uniform 3.5 inches. She stuck it in the ground to show me. I explained that our mowers were set to that exact height, and that the natural unevenness of the ground prevented a precise, carpeted look. She grudgingly nodded, and as she walked away, I shook my head. It had been a long day. But the more I thought about it, the more I thought about how that was the market we should be after: the discerning client with high standards. And that’s how ArtisTree Landscape Maintenance & Design was born.”
