Who We Are

A family business,
three generations deep.

Shermik Tree Farms and Perkins Enterprises are built on a long tradition of hard work, innovation, and family leadership — with deep roots across Minnesota's golf courses, commercial properties, and landscape trades.

The Story

It started with a 32-inch spade.

Founded in 1989, the company began with a single 32-inch tree spade and a commitment to growing high-quality trees. Over the years, that vision expanded into one of Minnesota's largest tree growing operations while also branching into turf management and commercial property services.

Today the business continues to grow while remaining rooted in the same values that built it — dedication to quality work, strong relationships, and pride in serving the Minnesota community.
