Dominick DePadre attended Casa Grande schools and graduated from Casa Grande Union High School in 1993. He continued his education at Northern Arizona University and received his Master’s Degree in Education in 2005. After teaching for several years, Dominick made the decision to start a business of his own. His love of the outdoors was the reason behind starting a landscaping business. In 2006, Dominick opened Yards N’ More, a landscaping company based in Casa Grande. His business was successful until the recession, which forced him to close Yards N’ More and go back to teaching.
In 2010, Dominick and his father, now retired, got together and decided to give it another go at the landscaping business. Tri-Valley Landscaping began with two houses and one employee. Eventually, Dominick put together a skilled crew of workers to become an install team. To date, they have created hundreds of beautiful yards using pavers, tiles, flourishing plants, trees, wrought iron, and other construction techniques. This crew has also landscaped new schools and many of the Taco Bells in the Casa Grande and Phoenix areas under Dominick’s supervision. The maintenance side of Tri-Valley Landscaping provides service which is “A Cut Above the Rest” to over thirty commercial properties, HOA developments, and private residential customers.
