Although his degree in civil engineering from Purdue University employed him in an entirely different theater and with the disbanded “gang” following their respective fields of endeavor, producing and selling firewood remained a staple of supplementary income for Steve throughout college and the years to follow. In 1982, with employment in the engineering field taking a rigorous toll on his life, Steve decided to rekindle the tree service and firewood operation and devote himself to the blossoming tree care industry by officially founding
Steve Piper & Sons, Inc. Tree Service. Decades later, through trials and tribulations, hundreds of employees, thousands of face cords of firewood, and scores of satisfied customers, Steve Piper & Sons, Inc. has cemented a legacy as a legitimate heavyweight in Midwestern urban forestry while still providing local, reliable, and quality service at prices you can afford to continue to lead in the industry in the 21st century.
