We "put your money where our mouth is," with our 2-year guarantee on trees, chubs and evergreens. Our goal is to help our customers enjoy a positive experience with the plants and products purchased from Four Seasons.
We specialize in BIG trees, although we also carry smaller ones that the average homeowner can handle. Time and quality are what you are paying for where trees and shrubs are involved. When you plant a larger tree there is no waiting for its benefits. You get a large tree that day! It may take a bit longer to become well established in your yard, but it will still be larger and stronger than a small tree purchased at the same time when both have "settled in".
Trees
Landscape plants are the primary focus of our business, and our selection of new and unusual varieties is second to none! Do we also offer the "old standby varieties?" Only the good ones! We grow many of the plants we sell and have been doing this for over 35 years, so we have been able to observe how each plant performs in our NW Indiana climate.

Shrubs
We carry many varieties, shapes and sizes of shrubs. Please come in to see our current selection.
Perennials
Four Seasons carries one of the largest selections of perennials in Northwest Indiana. Our perennials are selected for their hardiness in our zone, their beauty, and their ease of use in the landscape or container. We also have at least forty different ornamental grasses. You couldn't ask for an easier ornamental plant. Have you got a location in hot sun, cool shade, clay soil, sandy soil? We've got a perennial for that spot!
Other Plants
We round out our plant selection with Groundcovers, Vines, Roses, and Mums.

Re-Grip adds durability and safety to almost anything with a handle. It provides a method of improving a handle grip by adding mechanical and environmental protection when installed on a variety of cylindrical and semi-cylindrical objects such as: hand tools, garden tools, sports equipment, handle bars, wheelbarrows, levers and more. Its ergonomic design relaxes your grip and reduces muscle fatigue. It helps prevent blisters and is non-slip for better control and safety. It makes old tools like new and makes new tools work even better. Simply slip it, zip it and re-grip it. Watch the video below for more details.

We carry six premium mulches, both in bulk and in our own big 3 cu.ft. bags -
Shredded Hardwood Bark
Dyed Mulch in various colors
Which type of mulch you use is personal preference, but here are some things you might want to know:
The Shredded Hardwood Bark is our premium mulch and has the advantage of being made of long shreds of material that bind together and "stay put" better than other mulches on slopes and in heavy rains. It is made from the bark of hardwood trees and will break down slowly to add organic matter to your soil without rapidly robbing it of Nitrogen needed for good plant growth. It is medium to dark brown when it first comes and will gradually fade to a natural gray. This is the one we use in our landscaping jobs. If applied 2-3" thick, which we recommend, it should last at least two years in the landscape before it needs to be topped off again.
The Dyed Mulches are made from ground pieces of wood scrap such as pallets, moldings, etc. They tend to be larger chunks, rather than shreds, and use Nitrogen from your soil to break down over time. Many people like them because of the lasting color they provide.
