A blooming success
In 1950 Ed and Gayle Meyer purchased a one-room house and four acres of land on 47th Street in Moline, Illinois. The first items sold in the landscape business were wreaths and grave blankets at Christmas for the cemetery across the street from the house. The business was called Meyer’s Flower Farm.
After renovating the house, the business was operated out of the kitchen and the showroom out of the garage. The year was 1951. Items sold were rose bushes, tulip bulbs and iris. This later blossomed into a small landscape and nursery business.
In 1974 a separate office and warehouse was built on another part of the ground. An additional 16 acres were acquired in the area on which to grow and display nursery stock. The name became Meyer’s Tree Farm.
In the mid 1970’s, Jack and Kurt Meyer graduated from the University of Illinois with majors in horticulture and entered the family business. Soon after a 140 acre farm in the Taylor Ridge area was purchased for the purpose of growing nursery stock for the growing landscape business.
The Moline office expanded in 1988 to include six landscape designers and an irrigation manager. An additional farm in the Taylor Ridge area was acquired in 1992.
Continuing growth
The Moline location was enlarged and remodeled in 1999 to create additional offices and conference rooms. The sales yards were redesigned to create individual display areas for nursery stock and garden items. The name was changed to Meyer Landscape & Design Inc. The company continues to offer the community complete landscape design, installation, irrigation, lighting and cash and carry services for all homes, businesses and public grounds in the area.
We have expanded our Taylor Ridge Growing Division to offer our Q.C. outlining customers a place to shop for their outdoor needs. The Taylor Ridge Garden Center opened summer 2008.
