Rodda & Sons West

Rodda & Sons West has its roots in a Seattle business begun by Stewart Rodda in 1937. Stewart had studied painting at the Philadelphia Fine Arts Academy, but with 4 sons and a daughter to provide for, he ended up building models for Boeing and moonlighting as a landscaper. Gradually there developed enough demand for his work that landscaping became his main occupation. Stewart passed on to his children an enterprising and innovative spirit. You may have seen some of the very convincing fiberglass rocks he developed in the Tacoma Mall.
