Growing up in the Midwest, 'Minnesota Steve' has always had a passion for landscaping. After having worked in the business for several years, he decided it was time to start his own company. Incidentally, his wife, Rachel, has a strong business background so the new venture just made sense! And so began S&S Lawn and Garden (for 'Strasshofer and Strasshofer' which was far too much of a mouthful...)!

As a Eugene native, Rachel loves showing Steve around the PNW and all it has to offer. They enjoy the outdoors, the indoors, and trying out any new adventure that comes their way. They are proud parents of 6 (yes, 6!) grey cats and Charlie, the rambunctious one year old Chesapeake Bay Retriever.

Steve and Rachel both strongly value honesty, hard work, and a dedication to doing the job right!
