The Inspiration

Palmer Family Landscaping started in July 2017 on a giant leap of faith. Cole had worked at a local Spokane nursery for the two years prior, which cultivated his love for plants and beautifying the land. With the help of neighbors, parents, and a little red 1992 baby truck, their lawn care business took off!

The Journey

After getting married in 2008, Cole and Melissa moved to Taiwan for a year, then to Tucson, Arizona for four years, where the first two little Palmers were added to the family. In Tucson, Cole taught at an elementary school, and they purchased their first home. He was let loose on turning their dirt and sand into a beautiful landscape.

The Growth

2017: Palmer Family Landscaping was established, focused solely on lawn care and maintenance.
2019: Joe Swift joined as a huge asset, utilizing his painting experience, as well as taking over the lawn care division.
2021: Many positive changes started the season off, including a change to the business name (Palmers Pro Services), and Melissa fully taking on the office position at 39 weeks pregnant with baby #6! Joe handled all the painting and lawn care, while Cole handled all the landscaping projects.
2022: The business pivoted fully from lawn care to painting for Joe, while the landscaping side undertook more creative and complex projects and design work.
2023: There was continued growth with larger equipment, water feature additions, and broader scope “start to finish” design/build projects. They happily helped Joe Swift start his own painting business (Swifts Painting 509-808-8488), then rebranded to Palmer Landscape Design!

God has provided every step of the way, and they look forward to what is in store for the future!
