River rock and white rock will always have their place. BUT, sometimes a landscape deserves a little more personality.

Our premium decorative landscape rock adds color, texture, and character that can completely change the look of a flower bed, walkway, or foundation planting.

Posted are just a handful of MANY options we have to choose from. Come in to see the rest for yourself!

Great job Nathan!!!

Nathan Losher, who has been working toward his Eagle Scout, recently completed a project for the Pekin Park District. On Saturday, May 16, Nathan and a group of volunteers he recruited remulched the beds and trees at James Field, covering a total of 3,665 square feet. In addition to mulching, Nathan also re-laid the brick border around the flagpoles and bed behind the brick wall. The Park District would like to thank Nathan and his volunteers for completing this much-needed project. It looks fantastic. The Park District would also like to thank the Pekin Park Foundation for supplying the mulch for Nathan and his volunteers to spread.

🎶 Rain, rain, go… 🎶 ahead and keep raining! ☔️

Just kidding! I think we have had our fair share this past week!

While the weather is soaking everything else, our Compost, Topsoil, and Garden Mix are staying high and dry under cover. After the storms pass, you'll still be able to take home dry, easy-to-work-with soil for your garden and landscape projects.

Stop in tomorrow once the weather clears to get back to those projects, we’ll keep things dry for you!

Hot hot hot! Pay extra attention to your yard this week as we experience our first dose of hot, humid summer!

Do you know about our Coreopsis perennials?! Coreopsis (core-ee-OP-sis), also known as Tickseed due to their seeds having a resemblance to small ticks, are a great native plant choice for perennial gardens.

Coreopsis are a genus of cheery, flowering plants belonging to the sunflower family (Asteraceae).

Coreopsis are low-maintenance, heat and drought tolerant perennials that bloom daisy-like flowers. They are pollinator magnets due to their open, nectar-rich flowers and are prime sources for bees, butterflies, and beneficial insects!

Regular deadheading (snipping off spent blooms) and occasionally shearing the plant back in midsummer encourages vibrant repeat blooming through the fall.

Coreopsis featured in our photos: Lil Bang Daybreak, Lil Bang Red Elf, Tequila Sunrise, Uptick Cream, Early Sunrise, and Sun-Kiss

Come in and pick out your favorite Coreopsis!
