Create Your Dream Outdoor Space With Rolling Hills Nursery

Rolling Hills Nursery has been serving Northern Illinois since 1956, combining decades of plant expertise with thoughtful landscape design and installation. What began as a growing operation has evolved into a trusted partner for creating well-planned, plant-focused outdoor spaces.


With nearly 100 acres of nursery farmland in Harvard, IL, and our nursery location in Lincolnshire, we grow and source high-quality plant material specifically suited to our region. This allows us to design and install landscapes that not only look beautiful but continue to thrive and mature over time.


Built on generations of experience, our team understands how to select, place, and care for plant material to create landscapes that feel natural, balanced, and long-lasting. That same knowledge continues to guide every project we take on today.


We’re proud to have earned the trust of homeowners and contractors across Northern Illinois—and to continue building lasting relationships through honest guidance and proven results.
