About The Growing Company
When we opened our doors in 1988, our team had a clear vision for the company: deliver creative, cost-effective solutions with extraordinary service at a competitive price.
Today, The Growing Company is Northern California’s premier commercial landscape maintenance company.
We never stand still – we work continuously to improve our knowledge, skills and systems. Ongoing education keeps our people at the forefront of new information and technology. We value long-term relationships – our connections with clients, vendors and staff often span years, even decades.
Company-wide, we remain firmly committed to our founding vision. We love what we do, and it shows in every landscape.
