History
HISTORY OF PROPS TREE & LANDSCAPE, INC.
Our Father Rodney Props along with our Mother Jody Props started our tree care company 'Props Tree Care' as a ma and pa operation back in 1974, when times were much simpler and contracts were made verbally and signed with a handshake.Our parents had a vision of turning their little tree business into a well-known tree care company, with a reputation for doing the best work in town. You might say our Dad was a perfectionist when it came to pruning trees. He was much more advanced than most tree services back then. Even though most companies were turning trees into hat racks, our Dad was pruning trees for aesthetics and balance.
As many people know starting a company takes a lot of blood, sweat and tears to get it off on the right foot! Our Dad was usually found working on some piece of equipment in the shop at our home in Carmichael. Whether it was fabricating a new tool or rebuilding a piece of equipment, he was always working hard to ensure the business would succeed!
While Dad was handling the field operations and maintaining the equipment, Mom was running the legal side of the business. From answering phones to paying the bills.
With the family business being run from our home in Carmichael, back when that was considered out in the country; it was not a surprise that we kids, Robert, Ricky & Roni all became an integral part of the business!
With us boys helping Dad with the building and maintenance of the equipment and our sister answering phones for Mom at a really young age. You could say Arboriculture was bread into us!
We look forward to building great relationships with our clients that will last a lifetime and we strive to continue the legacy our Father and Mother started over 37 years ago!
