Our Story (and Our Namesake)
It all started in 1927 when Bernard and Florence Esch launched a small maintenance business and a wholesale rhododendron nursery in Oregon. In 1956, their daughter Merle married Robert Snodgrass, and they had seven children, all with “D” names. Robert operated the family garden center, nursery, and landscaping business, which he called Seven Dees, of course!
In 1975, Robert’s sons Dennis and Drake took over the business. David ended up purchasing the landscaping portion from Dennis and then partnered with brothers Dean and Drew.
Today, Dennis’ 7 Dees is still owned and operated by brothers David, Dean, and Drew, who work together with a team of dedicated employees to fulfill a long-standing commitment to quality and service!
