Hoerr Nursery - Peoria's Best Landscaping

Yes, we do. Hoerr Nursery grows a significant portion of our trees, shrubs, perennials, and sod on our 400 acres here in the Peoria area. This local cultivation means the plants are already acclimated to Central Illinois' specific soil conditions and climate, giving them a stronger start in your yard compared to plants shipped from different regions. It's a key part of our commitment to providing excellent, regionally-suited plant material for our design, installation, and retail customers.

Dead patches and compacted soil are frequent challenges in our area. Our Lawn Care and Landscape Maintenance teams start with a soil analysis to understand the specific conditions. For compaction, we use core aeration to relieve soil pressure and improve water and nutrient penetration. For dead areas, we assess whether the issue is related to disease, insect damage, or environmental stress, then recommend a tailored solution. This often involves using our locally grown sod, which is already suited to our climate, for seamless repairs, followed by a customized care plan to encourage deep root growth and long-term lawn health.

Absolutely. As a full-service landscaping company, we provide start-to-finish service. Our design team will work with you to create a plan for your patio, walkway, or retaining wall that fits your vision and property. Then, our own skilled construction crews, who are familiar with local building considerations and our own plant material, handle the installation. This integrated process, managed under one roof, ensures the final build accurately reflects the design intent and is completed with efficiency and care.
