This unique blend allows us to go beyond the expected to bring deeper meaning to the concept of tree and turf care. To us, a yard is more than a manicured expanse of green grass. We recognize the value of diversity both in our community and in the properties for which we care. This appreciation for all things natural can be seen in every detail of our work. At Rutsu, we go the extra mile to care for trees and turf, granting them the same level of respect that we give our valued clients. This means utilizing sustainable practices that can be depended on to maximize the overall health of the tree, the turf and the soil not only on a short-term basis, but also, far into the future. Paying Homage to Our Origins Honoring Our Roots While we are excited to begin a new chapter by launching Rutsu, we are also committed to honoring our roots — the steady base that anchors us to the Earth. This sense of honor takes both a tangible form in our care for the environment and the rich history that brought Rutsu into being. We love the image of roots extending far beyond what we can see but always granting us stability and confidence. The clients of each of the three founding companies are our greatest gift and we honor and respect what every client has contributed, some for over 30 years to these amazing companies. The Founders Every day, we pay homage to the founders and the clients of the three companies that helped us embark on our remarkable journey: • Preventive Tree Spraying - Tom Estes • Prima Plant Care - Kim Bock • Mesa Turf Masters - John Quast These companies hold a cherished place in our hearts. As trusted names within the community, they form the basis of the new unified company known as Rutsu.

We are not just giving the most healthy option for your lawn we identify the most healthy approach to conserve water and deepen the quality of growth of your lawn… and trees for that matter. Rutsu’s 5 Pillars While the image of a rooted tree relates to everything we do at Rutsu, we are also guided by five main principles. These pillars ground us while providing a powerful reminder of our commitment to our employees, our clients, and the properties we serve. 1 HONOR This quality is integral to everything we do at Rutsu. We honor not only the previous three companies responsible for our current organization, but also, the traditions and methodologies built through generations of passion and hard work. The wisdom of those who previously made this journey gives the rest of us a head start as we strive to make a positive impact on the environment and the generations to follow. We also honor the natural world by making every effort to care for our properties in a sustainable, environmentally-friendly manner. 2 INTEGRITY Honesty and authenticity are critical in our line of work. This is especially true given the long-term approach we emphasize. Since we aren't dependent on quick results alone, our clients need to know that we will follow through, while placing our philosophy front and center every step of the way. 3 TRUST We take pride in knowing that our clients can trust us from the moment they reach out. This sense of trust allows us to build strong relationships with valued community members. 4 MASTERY Years of research and applied scientific practices have allowed us to develop a unique and highly targeted skillset. We are proud to have mastered the art and science of sustainable care. Our inherent discipline as a team and as individuals is evident in every practice — even the small habits that, at first glance, might not seem all that important. In reality, however, these 'minor' practices add up to make a powerful impression. 5 EDUCATION As the cliche states, knowledge is power. To that end, we strive to educate all those involved in our company. We never stop learning, nor do our employees. We pass our findings on to our clients, who appreciate our efforts to keep them informed. The more they know, the better capable they are of making the mitigation choice that is right for them and embracing a sustainable approach. 30 years and growing Rūtsu - A fresh new Trees & Turf 🌳 🌲 Services umbrella Brand that is a result of blending 3 companies with a combined total of over 60 years in the industry providing the highest caliber of lawn, tree, shrub, native grass and soil care.
