Rodolph Brothers Inc. is a full-service landscape company that has been serving Casper for 26 years. We have 35 employees that are employed year-round (due to our extensive commercial snow removal operation).

Rodolph Brothers mission is to build enduring landscapes and then nurture that landscape into maturity. Trees are the only asset on a property that cannot be replaced. Casper’s trees are valuable because we just don’t have very many of them so caring for them is crucial. We have spent the last 26 years perfecting the art and science of treecare just for Casper trees. Every tree species has a few specific needs and those needs must be met within a certain time frame. We start by meeting with a client and looking at their trees to write a customized Tree Care Plan for their particular tree needs. This Tree Care Plan will be administered by professionally trained ISA certified arborists and then their trees will be able to do what they do best – grow. We are constantly amazed at how these trees adapt and thrive here in our high mountain desert when given the opportunity to do so.
