R. H. Grover Tree Service

Entrepreneur: Sue Grover Location: Carlton, Minnesota
R. H. Grover Tree Service

Description:

How could we not include a tree care service in our Greenest ranking?  R.H. Grover’s goal is to be as environmentally friendly as possible---proactive in caring for the environment and striving for as little waste of product as possible. Grover and her husband burn low sulfur fuel in all of their vehicles and equipment. The company has plans to convert to bio-fuel trucks. Downed trees still in good shape are turned into lumber to be sold locally. Wood chips are sold to a local paper mill. Not much goes to waste.
