  Jim Melka Landscaping did the original landscaping at my house 20 years ago and I've continued to hire them over the years because they always do EXCELLENT work! Most recently some trees and bushes needed to be replaced (they came to the end of their lifespan) and Melka did an excellent job again! An Autumn Blaze maple tree, Redbud shrub, Little Quick Fire Hydrangeas and Boxwoods were planted making our landscaping look brand new. Bryan the landscape designer was great to work with and the crew (with Henry still at the helm) worked hard making everything look great. Thank you (again) Jim Melka Landscaping!

  I visit LOTS of local...and not so local...nurseries. Had never visited Melka. I do lots of gardening...and even help my Vienna Woods (neighborhood in Olympia Fields) neighborhood in coordinating their landscaping projects. Have visited many very good nurseries...mostly in far south suburbs...Alsip Illinois, Alsip Indiana, Sunrise (near Manteno), Touch of Green (Homer Glen). Wasco (St. Charles), others. ALL ARE VERY GOOD - EXCELLENT SOURCES. Had never visited Melka, but was looking for a specific, high-quality organic leaf mulch...a GREAT ammendment / mulch for flower beds, etc. Had only ever found it wayyyy out at Wasco. Melka confirmed they stocked this and was ever at a very good price ($8.49 for 1.5cf bag). Was very impressed when I got there. It's getting late in the year...when some nursery stock gets low, etc. but Melka had quite good selections of shrubs & trees. Flowering perennials were pretty good even considering it late Sept ! Soil ammendment selection (my interest) was excellent. Nursery staff was welcoming and helpful. I walked around a bit to get a better picture of them...and I will DEFINITELY be back this year and can see several visits next year. I GIVE THEM MY HIGH RECOMMENDATION FOR MULTIPLE NURSERY CATEGORIES MENTIONED. GOOD JOB MELKA !

  The variety of plants, trees and shrubs are great! Every year we are here. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and friendly. All the prices are inline. The quality of product is unsurpassed by a mile for sure! You won't be disappointed.

  Nice Garden center, shop and plenty of greenhouses - came in the autumn for mums and prices were very reasonable and comparable to local. They seem to also have events for families at times and a section of stone merchandise

  I had a wonderful experience with Bryan one of the designers. He came through on everything we discussed! Jim Melka has a great crew of workers. They transformed my back yard to a whole new view. When they were done, you didn’t even know they were here. Bryan also had an excellent idea to refresh my front landscaping after some 20 years of overgrowth! Thank you for the best experience! Looking forward to doing more projects with you. Some before and after pix’s…..
