Everyone at this nursery has been extremely helpful to design and update our landsaping. The installers paid attention to all the details with the intricate stone-cutting and definitely knew their craft. All the work was done quickly and without disturbing the surrounding areas. We are very happy with their work and look forward to our next project. Testimonial written by Beth and Jack on this site.

I called close to closing time explaining I was several states away and needed lots of help. The lady who talked to me could not have been any nicer. She was patient, made suggestions finding the best plant she had in stock and assured me that it could be delivered the next morning. She even took the time to talk to me about how easy it would be to take care of <3 If I lived in or near Streator I would definitely make this my go to nursery!
