PLM contracted with Tanner Creek Energy in its efforts to lessen its environmental impact via energy efficiency improvements and the use of renewable energy. The effort is part of PLM’s Sustainable Landscape Solutions initiative, which in addition to solar, includes reengineering its landscaping services practice, greening its facility and expanded recycling programs.

Bob Grover, one of PLM’s founders said, “We were more than pleased with Tanner Creek Energy. They were professional, efficient and were flexible in working around our daily warehouse operations during the installation.” One of the deciding factors in the commercial landscaping company’s decision to work with Tanner Creek Energy to design and install its roof-mounted system was its commitment to the local Oregon economy.

In keeping with the solar provider’s local business philosophy, Tanner Creek Energy sourced product from two Oregon companies in the project.

Alan Hickenbottom, founder of Tanner Creek Energy stated, “We’re excited about our work with Pacific Landscape Management because they’re truly committed to sustainability. Their impact on the local quality of life and environmental stewardship goes beyond their internal business practices. They’re providing innovative, earth-friendly landscaping services to their commercial and industrial customers in the Northwest.”
