Since the early 1950's, the Schwarz Family name has been well known in Addison and the surrounding area. Otto Schwarz started out in the egg business. For many years, the barn was the home of "Otto's Egg Basket" where he raised chickens and sold eggs in the community. In the 1960s, Otto began to grow trees as a hobby.
We are a full service garden center with over 7 acres of shopping area. We specialize in single stem trees from 2" - 5" diameter, multi-stem trees up to 16' tall. We carry a full line of hardy shrubs, perennials, roses, vines and ground covers. In the spring we are fully stocked with annuals and vegetables.
The Schwarz family and staff have been proud providers of landscape design & installation services to families like yours for more than three generations. Whether you are the first owner of a new home or need a landscape makeover, our professional designers can create a plan that gives your home a vibrant and refreshing new look.
For our Landscape Design customer, one of our designers will meet with you at your home to discuss your landscaping needs. The designer will draw a plan and present it to you at the garden center. At that time, you may make any changes needed and select the plants you will have installed. Customers can choose to have us do all the installation work, or we can deliver the plants and you can install yourself. Call 630-627-6261 to set up an appointment with a designer.

Huge garden center to walk with many rows of trees, bushes, shrubs, flowers, vines, arborvitaes and more. We picked out some flowering shrubs, a lilac, a vine flower and some flowers. Plus they have mulch, dirt, garden stones, garden / wind decorations, bird baths, fountains, sculptures and more. Lilacs everywhere! Many different varieties to pick from. And so many trees, some flowering, some fruit, some huge! Prices on some items seemed a tad high, but that's everything these days isn't it.

Disappointment. Went there looking for couple plants and trees. Purchased roses with help from Tom who was very nice. Looked at two Butterfly Magnolias but couldn't make up my mind as one was not healthy and other had some weeds and was okay in condition. Later, in about an hour or so called them and asked to tag the better one for purchase and Hanna confirmed that it will be tagged as requested (tag the better one that has weeds near the root ball).
Today I drove all the way only to find that they had tagged for the wrong tree and had to drive back empty handed. It was a total waste of time, money and effort. I do not plan to go back and wouldn't recommend.

I called Schwarz looking for a specific tree, and the customer service representative informed me that they don't have it, and that they only have trees that they grow. Ok, no problem. I asked for recommendations on other nearby places I could look, and he told me that he's never heard of this tree, and they they've been around since 1940-something, so it must not be popular. Guess what? It's available in stock at a retailer a few miles away. There's no reason not to be kind to people.

We have never used professional landscapers before and were hesitant. Mick, the arborist, came out twice for us to draw up plans "we added on to the order". He was very helpful and made plans within our budget. The work has been done and it looks beautiful. They had to remove a lot of bricks, stone and cut down more of a tree stump. I would recommend then to anyone! An the price was quite reasonable.

I have been going to another nursery for a while now but Schwarz was the only place open in DuPage County on a Sunday. I stopped in for a couple shrubs and the staff was very helpful. The prices were average but they were all clearly priced and no shocks at the counter. The staff were very helpful. I had a few questions regarding the acidity of my soul and they took the time to answer my questions and give suggestions on products to try. I will definitely be returning.
