  • Greenview - About Us 
     history_12008-05-01-1209657897.jpg   Green View is a family owned business founded in Peoria, Illinois, USA in the year 1955 by Peter W. Hoerr (1902-1992). Peter, a first generation American of German descent, operated the business out of his home. The company originated as "Peter W. Hoerr Trucking and Landscaping" which had one employee besides Mr. Hoerr. Peter's father, John C. Hoerr, (1872-1959) at the age of 16 came to America in 1889 from Germany. He was a farmer by trade and later in life became an estate gardener for a prominent family in Peoria. Like his father, Peter believed, "The customer is always right and give them more then they expect." These principles are still the cornerstone of Green View today.

       Over the years Green View has added five locations throughout central and northern Illinois and employs over 300 people. We have offices in Peoria/Dunlap, Normal/Bloomington, Champaign/Urbana, Springfield, and Oswego (Chicago Metro), which provide landscape services and retail garden centers. Growing operations are located in Dunlap and Lowpoint, Illinois, and consists of 730 acres of sod and trees.
