Dutchman's History
Dutchmaster's specialty of wholesaling large caliper trees to the commercial/industrial landscape trades since 1970. Digging trees has always been both a pleasure and a challenge for us as our counts can exceed 90,000 per year. To support this major source of revenue, optimum production in the digging and transplanting sector remains a constant factor even as the industry changes from year-to-year.

"In the beginning, the market's inconsistency to produce a quality spade impacted our bottom line"
- Marlin Tillaart (CEO)
In the early 1980's, Dutchmaster commenced the design, development, and manufacturing of the "Dutchman's Tree Spade". Continual design upgrades over the past two decades has resulted in a number of models that can deal with trees of all calipers while maintaining our reputation for efficiency and dependability. This included a total re-design of all our models in the early 90's, in an effort to better serve the nursery/landscaping industry.
