Where It All Began
Grovestone Countertops emerged from the construction expertise of our Founder, Leah Jones, the willingness and sales tenure of our Director of Sales, Gena Hardin, and the get-your-butt-moving attitude of our greatest supporters, Ron and Janice Scott. It's no secret that the roots of this venture extend deep into the mentorship and guidance of industry stalwarts Ron and Janice, whose understanding of the business empowered Leah and Gena to embark on a journey into the realm of countertop fabrication.
Grovestone was founded on a commitment to excellence, innovation and what we call, active contribution. Not only do we want to provide a stellar service, but here at Grovestone, we also want to actively contribute to homes, families and loved ones. That's why our customers will never feel the cold sting of an automated answering machine.
We're here to conduct your business personally, to ensure the renovation of thousands of homes are extended some warmth, and to include our loved ones in the process. Our customers will undoubtedly hear a baby or two in the background, receive a custom holiday card with each of our family members' photos included, or even be invited to the next big softball game in Dudley.
We look forward to contributing to your home and ours for years to come!

Our Founder
Leah Scott Jones is the Managing Partner and Founder of Grovestone Countertops. Born the middle child of seven and daughter to a general contractor, Leah was raised fostering both long-term relationships and long-lasting infrastructure. With a background in multifamily renovations, small business management, and team leadership, Leah has spent the last twelve years soaking up a diverse education of the multi-unit construction industry.
After eight years with family-owned and operated multifamily renovation specialist Wildwood Construction as Occupied Renovations Director, Leah moved into an adjacent sector of the industry: supply. Three years at Dal-tile as Local Turn-key Division Lead gave Leah exposure to international logistics, material procurement, domestic production, and the in's and out's of corporate program ideologies. Passionate about the ability to provide custom yet uniform service to her clients nationally, Leah founded Grovestone Countertops to revolutionize the multiunit countertop landscape.
Dedicated to internal efficiency, superior customer service, and irreplaceable reliability, Leah's leadership and unique perspective drives Grovetone toward success. She holds a Bachelors of Business Administration from the University of Georgia and a Bachelors of Arts in English from Keble College of Oxford University, underpinning her practical skills with a solid educational foundation.
