WHO WE ARE Procare is an exceptional lawn care, landscaping and outdoor lighting company.
My name is Ryon and I started cutting lawns and doing cleanups in my Downingtown neighborhood as a kid to earn extra money. I started Procare Property Services because landscaping is my passion. I love making outdoor spaces look beautiful.

OUR GUARANTEE Procare Property Services has been looking for ways to be ‘different' since day one.

We re-train every new hire to our standards. And our standards are tough. Many new hires don't last more than a week with our company. Only the really good ones.
When I started Procare, all I knew to do was to take great care of our customers.
Many customers have sent us hand written notes of appreciation. Many frequently email quick notes of thanks. We never got around to asking our clients for testimonials. They just came - and keep coming.
Procare has over 1000+ happy customers
