Commercial landscaping
Who handles commercial landscaping in Edwardsville, IL?
Sugarloaf Landscape and Nursery handles commercial landscape installation and enhancement across Edwardsville and the Metro East, backed by a 40-acre growing operation with 150,000+ plants. Family-owned since 1981 and MBE certified, the company designs, builds, and supplies plant material under one contract. Call (618) 692-0113 to talk through your property.
You answer to an owner or a board for how the property looks and what it costs. You also know how this goes wrong: a vendor that stops returning calls, a bid that balloons mid-job, dead plant material you have to explain. Everything on this page exists to take those three off the table.

The bid advantage
Why work with a landscape contractor that grows its own plants?
Sugarloaf Landscape and Nursery grows its own trees, shrubs, and perennials on 40 acres in Edwardsville, Illinois, so plant costs on a commercial bid come straight from our own fields, not a broker’s price list. On multi-phase jobs, availability stops being a risk: the stock for phase two is already growing here.
Plant costs from our own fields
The plant line on your bid is priced from stock we grew ourselves. No broker margin buried in the numbers, and no guessing what the market does between bid and install.
Availability on multi-phase jobs
Phase two’s trees don’t need to be hunted down next spring. With 150,000+ plants growing on 40 acres, material for later phases is already in the ground a short drive from your property.
A vendor that stays put
Sugarloaf has grown plants on the same Edwardsville ground since 1981. Vendors that disappear mid-contract are a real fear on commercial work. Forty-plus years on the same ground is the plainest answer we have.
Certification
What is an MBE-certified landscaping contractor?
An MBE-certified landscaping contractor holds Minority Business Enterprise certification, a credential that helps commercial and public buyers meet supplier-diversity goals on their projects. Sugarloaf Landscape and Nursery in Edwardsville, Illinois is MBE certified, family-owned since 1981, and has held a BBB file since 1996.
If your organization tracks diversity spend, or bids public work that scores it, an MBE-certified vendor helps the numbers you report.

Kansal will walk you through what applies to your project.
