Our Story

In 1987, Rodger Erstad cashed out his retirement plan, gathered some buddies, and started mowing lawns. That’s how many landscape companies began, but Rodger was a people-person who happened to love gardening. He was also very particular and demanded a lot from his team. “Pro Care” wasn’t just a couple of random words. They perfectly captured our reason for existing and still guide us to this day…The Pro Care Way.

The Pro Care Way Is

• Treating you with respect.
• Answering your calls and quickly replying to emails and texts.
• Keeping appointments and appreciating your time.
• Striving for consistency.
• Making accommodations unique to your site.
• Regularly checking in and following up, no babysitting or handholding required.
• Sending people who are screened, trained, motivated, and supervised.
• Upfront pricing on bids, no hidden fees.
• Minimizing environmental impacts through smart, efficient techniques.

The Pro Care Way has attracted seasoned veterans and upstarts looking for careers in a trade, allowing us to develop broad service offerings for just about anything you need done outside. While we wanted to grow and did, it wasn’t a primary motivator. We’re motivated by connecting with people who share our values and treating them as friends. It’s nice to have an insider who isn’t trying to sell you something and is willing to tell you “no” if it’s the right answer. We’re motivated by seeing our manicured lawns, bright flowers, and healthy landscapes all over the Treasure Valley, and knowing thousands of people see and enjoy them, too.

If we sound like the type of people you want to do business with, fill out the online bid request form or call us. And if you ever feel we’re not living The Pro Care Way, contact me directly at (208) 288-5589.
