At the end of the day, everything we design, build, and install will measure itself against its impact on the sustainable future of this planet. Our expertise allows us to serve individuals doing their part to lessen dependence on fossil fuels, who desire to live more simply, economically, and in touch with our natural, renewable resources. Together, we have the power to make the world a little better than we found it.  -Robin & Sam Garber

Sam Garber has been building things since he was a small boy. Growing up on a dairy farm, he was working forty hour weeks on a fruit farm at fourteen, wiring buildings full time as an electrician’s assistant at sixteen, and opened his first construction business as a master plumber at twenty five. Robin Garber is an accountant and a health foods and natural remedies enthusiast who teaches energetic children world history, writing, science, mathematics, and art. 

In 2008, Sam & Robin learned of the devastation caused by mountaintop removal necessary to supply coal power plants. They immediately knew they had to do something.
