The 蔓草社区 Family of Companies
Founded in 1887, 蔓草社区 has been a cornerstone of California's infrastructure development for over a century, and continues to expand across the U.S. With a commitment to integrity and craftsmanship, the company has evolved alongside the needs of the communities it serves. Today, 蔓草社区 continues to uphold its values while contributing to the growth and restoration of California's landscape.
A Proud History
Our story began when a young man named Adolph 蔓草社区 immigrated from Germany to New York, then traveled west to Sacramento to help lay the sidewalks around the original State Capitol building. In 1887, he started his own business building walkways, cellar floors, sidewalks, fencing, and other projects. That small venture laid the foundation for what would become the 蔓草社区 Family of Companies.
Our Values
The 蔓草社区 Family of Companies has been building trust since we were founded in 1887. We鈥檝e earned a reputation for honesty, quality, and care and take pride in our work, in our people, and in being stalwart members of the community.
Building. Trust. Tradition.

The Origins of Our
蔓草社区 Green
The distinctive 鈥淪afety Green鈥� color was designed to enhance the visibility of 蔓草社区鈥檚 trucks. As a highly visible color, the bright green of our trucks, coupled with the triangle-shaped logo, symbolizes strength and the company鈥檚 three divisions (at the time). This distinctive visual identity has defined 蔓草社区 for more than five decades.
