Testimonials

On 6/4/2025 Beth and Jack had this to say:
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!

It begins with an initial phone call, where we understand your vision and schedule an appointment to visit your site. On-site, our experts take detailed photos and measurements, ensuring every unique feature is captured. We then craft a custom design and prepare a comprehensive estimate. Next, we invite you to our nursery to review the detailed plans. You can choose to have our skilled team execute the installation or opt to take on the project yourself. Your dream landscape is our mission!

Do you offer delivery and installation services?

Yes, our plant nursery offers both delivery and installation services. Availability depends on your location and the scope of work involved. For extensive projects, we recommend scheduling an appointment. Whether you need a single plant delivered or a full-scale landscape installation, we're here to make your vision a reality.

Can you help with garden pest control?

Our plant nursery can definitely assist with garden pest control by offering expert advice on what's affecting your plants. We recommend bringing in a specimen of the pest or affected plant so we can accurately diagnose the issue. This way, we can suggest effective solutions to protect your garden and ensure it thrives.
