Inside AAA Landscape
The Underwood Story
Started with a borrowed pickup
Started with a borrowed pickup
Brothers Robert and Richard Underwood grew up learning to care for the land from their father, a county extension agent. They carried that practical respect for plants, people, and hard work into AAA Landscape.
The company began in Tucson in 1975. The equipment and the scale have changed, but the standard remains simple: take care of the work, take care of the relationship, and stay for the long term.
