About Natural Creations Landscaping

Natural Creations Landscaping was founded by current owner and president Jose Garcia in 1994 in his basement. Jose Garcia immigrated to the United States in 1985 where he would accumulate knowledge in the landscaping and construction industries before starting Natural Creations Landscaping. After several different offices and shops, Natural Creations has settled into their corporate headquarters in Joliet, Illinois. Now with nearly 25 years in business, we provide the best services of our niche.

Natural Creations is a fully union shop and has been since its inception. A point of pride for Natural Creations has been the long-term loyalty of numerous essential employees. Natural Creations started with just six employees, and now in 2018, we have 89.

Natural Creations is a certified Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) in various NAICS codes through the Illinois Department of Transportation, as well as a certified Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) through the City of Chicago and the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago.

Natural Creations has been a member of the Illinois Landscape Contractors Association since 1995, the Illinois Road and Transportation Builders Association since 2002 and the Illinois Landscape Contractors Bargaining Association since 2012.

What We Do

Natural Creations specializes in installing large quantities of plants such as: trees, shrubs, ground covers and plugs, as well as installing large-scales of sod grass and seeding. In addition to the substantial landscape work we do, our projects often include other types of work including: extensive excavation work, topsoil placement, concrete block retaining wall systems, brick paver and specialty pavement areas, as well as the installation and maintenance of a wide variety of erosion control systems. We also provide all trucking associated with the projects.

We have built our strong reputation through our professional approach to our work and our consistency in completing projects correctly, timely, and on budget. We pride ourselves on meeting the needs of our prime contractors and customers on all major highway and commercial projects. We always strive to deliver top quality results.
