I want to share the awesome journey of RG Tree Service with you. It all started with Rick Garvens, the man behind those initials “RG”. Rick was no ordinary guy – he dedicated a solid 24 years of his life working as a forester for the city of Milwaukee. But here’s the kicker: even while handling his city responsibilities, he was nurturing his own tree care company on the side in our home town of Menomonee Falls, WI. This is where the multi-generational legacy of RG Tree was built.
When Rick decided to dive headfirst into his business, he brought me, Eric Geisberger, on board. I was just 17 at the time, brimming with enthusiasm for everything related to trees. But Rick wasn’t just a boss to me; he was a mentor, a guiding light, a figure akin to a father, teaching me the ins and outs of the tree care industry like nobody else could.
