Dennis’ 7 Dees Website

Dennis’ Seven Dees Landscaping is a national award-winning landscape company operating in the Pacific Northwest.  It is also recognized as a leader in the green industry for its safety program.

Dennis’ Seven Dees is a four generation, family owned business.  Its roots stretch back to 1927 when Bernard Esch launched a one-person mowing business and later expanded into a wholesale rhododendron operation.  Esch’s daughter, Merle, met Robert Snodgrass.  The two were married and had seven children, all with first names beginning with the letter “D”.  Robert operated the family garden center, nursery, and landscape business, which in 1956 he called Seven Dees, until 1975 when sons Dennis and Drake took over.  Two years later, David, purchased the business from Dennis and in 1987 partnered with brothers Drew and Dean.

After committing the company to becoming the local leader in Sustainable Landscaping in the fall of 2007, the Pacific Landscape Management team spent 2008 researching testing new and more sustainable approaches to operating their business and serving their customers. Out of this effort they launched Sustainable Landscape Solutions. Under the title of Sustainable Landscape Solutions, Pacific Landscape Management has re-engineered their entire operation, service offering, and focus to reduce their impact on the environment.

In their effort to promote this new focus and service offerings, Pacific Landscape Management has lectured to the several landscape and real estate industry seminars. To provide a more hands on promotion of Sustainable Landscape Solutions, Pacific Landscape Management has planned a Sustainability Fair for June 26th in conjunction with the PLANET Summer Leadership meeting. Summer leadership attendees as well as many of Pacific Landscape Management’s customers will have the opportunity to tour their facility, observe their demonstration projects, and meet with many of Pacific’s sustainability supplier and agency partners.
