Our Story
OUR PAST
Eagle Creek Nursery & Landscape began in 1916 when John W. Esterline Sr. purchased 300 acres of farmland in Indianapolis, marking the beginning of what would evolve into a family legacy in the landscaping industry. Initially a tree farm, the business was formally incorporated as Eagle Creek Nursery in 1925. By 1929, John’s son Merrill joined the operation, helping to lay the groundwork for the company’s expansion. Through the decades, the Esterline family cultivated a passion for creating beautiful, artistic outdoor spaces, a dedication that would see the business thrive across generations.
NOW
Today, Eagle Creek Nursery & Landscape is a trusted, family-owned business serving the greater Indianapolis area with a wide range of landscaping services, from design and installation to maintenance and plant sales. The fourth generation of the Esterline family carries forward the same commitment to quality that has defined the company since its inception. They offer top-tier landscaping services, plants, and materials to both residential and commercial clients, all while maintaining a mission of creating outdoor living spaces that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also enjoyable and functional for years to come.
FUTURE
Looking toward the future, Eagle Creek Nursery & Landscape remains dedicated to preserving its rich history while innovating to meet the evolving needs of the Indianapolis community. As they continue to grow, their goal is to further enrich the area with beautiful outdoor spaces, supporting residential homeowners. The Esterline family plans to carry on their mission for generations to come, ensuring that each project reflects their passion for quality, sustainability, and creating lasting beauty in the landscape.
