Foothill Tree Service
Our Dad, Jim, moved from Idaho to Placerville, California in 1965. At that time he was working as a General Foreman doing commercial line clearance for PG&E. It was his responsibility to run many crews safely - without injury to his men or property damage for the client. Before long though, he recognized a need in the residential sector and founded Foothill Tree Service. It started small - just a side business on the weekend, but when those first clients recognized that Jim looked after them like friends- they became life-long clients. The clientele steadily grew. Though Jim didn't realize it at the time, he had started a legacy - one of safety, of education and of care for our clients.Fifty years later, Foothill Tree Service is still being run by Jim's family, and still operates with the motto: "Treat our Clients as Friends, and our Employees as Family." If something goes wrong, we will make it right.
