Management education at Purdue University.
In 1973, Tom and his wife Paula began full time operations of Allen
Landscape Construction at their current location on 45th St. in Highland.
What began with residential and commercial landscaping, soon developed
into a larger design/build firm with a busy industrial maintenance department.
Snow plowing operations began in 1979 and in 1986 the Allens realized
another dream by opening Allen Landscape Garden Center. This year has
seen the expansion of the Garden Center after the purchase of the property
west of the current store.
The design team includes Tom Allen a licensed Landscape Architect, Doug
Werner (Purdue University/BS Agriculture) and licensed Landscape

Our landscape and maintenance supervisors and foremen have the
knowledge and expertise to get the job done professionally and quickly.
We are a licensed and bonded, our crews are members of The United
Steelworkers union.
Our Garden Center staff is known for it's years of experience and for
continuing to learn all that is new and exciting in the horticultural field so as
