A Little Bit About Us as a Company
Foothill Tree Service was founded by Jim Dykstra back in 1965 and has remained a family-based business ever since. The company started off small, but when clients recognized that Jim truly cared about them and their trees, they became life-long clients. As the business has grown in the community, we have become known for the quality of our work and safety with which we do it.
More than 50 years later, Foothill Tree Service is run by Jim’s family and still operates with the motto “Treat our Clients as Friends and our Employees as Family.” Our employees are INVALUABLE to us. Each one fills a specific role and has truly become an extended family. They make it possible to operate our business safely. Our strong adherence to quality work and best industry practices creates a culture of safety throughout the company and, by extension, the community.
We care deeply about the relationships we develop with our clients and community and are constantly looking for innovative ways of providing the best possible care for both clients and trees. Trees make up a complex part of the local ecology, adding beauty, life and balance to the world around us. Anytime we work on a tree, it impacts our community and many aspects of life.
We take this very seriously. In fact, our mission statement is “Positively Impacting Humanity Through Innovative Tree Stewardship.” We see ourselves as temporary stewards and feel a sense of duty to our environment.
