Everything Your Outdoor Space Needs, Done Right the First Time

Retaining Wall Installation

Retaining Wall Installation

A retaining wall does more than hold back soil — it shapes your entire yard. Greg's team builds walls that are structurally sound and built to last through Illinois winters. Every wall is planned carefully before a single block goes in. You get a finished product that looks great and holds up for years.

Patio Design & Installation

Patio Design & Installation

A well-built patio turns your backyard into a space you actually use. Greg designs and installs patios that fit your property, your style, and your budget. The work is done clean and the finish is something you will be proud to show off. No shortcuts, no half-measures.

Landscaping Design & Cleanup

Landscaping Design & Cleanup

Whether your yard needs a full redesign or just needs to be brought back to life, Greg handles it. This includes planting, grading, edging, and all the detail work most crews skip. Greg has over 25 years of hands-on experience reading a property and knowing what it needs. The result is a yard that looks intentional, not just maintained.

Landscape Lighting Installation

Landscape Lighting Installation

Good lighting changes how your property looks after dark. Greg installs outdoor lighting that highlights the best parts of your yard and keeps your home looking sharp at night. The installation is clean and the fixtures are positioned to last. It is one of the highest-impact upgrades you can make to your outdoor space.

Handyman Services

Handyman Services

Not every job fits neatly into one category — and that is where Greg's handyman services come in. If something needs fixing, building, or finishing around your property, Greg can handle it. This is the kind of work that often gets put off because finding the right person is hard. With Greg, you get someone reliable who shows up and gets it done.

Fence Installation

Fence Installation

A good fence adds privacy, security, and curb appeal all at once. Greg installs fences that are set properly and built to hold through changing seasons. The work is measured and done with attention to the property line and grade. You get a fence that looks clean and stays standing.

Deck Building & Installation

Deck Building & Installation

A deck adds real usable space to your home and adds value to your property. Greg builds decks that are framed right, finished well, and designed for how you actually live. Every board placement and post setting is done with care. This is outdoor living space built to last.

Tree Trimming & Removal

Tree Trimming & Removal

Greg has been working with trees for over 25 years. Whether a tree needs shaping, thinning, or full removal, the work is done safely and efficiently. Tree work done wrong can damage your property or become a safety hazard — experience matters here. Greg knows trees, and it shows in how the job gets handled.

Mulching & Ground Cover

Mulching & Ground Cover

Fresh mulch does more than make your beds look clean — it protects your plants and controls weeds. Greg's team installs mulch evenly and at the right depth so it actually does its job. This is a simple service that makes a big difference in how your whole yard looks. It is one of the fastest ways to refresh your landscaping.

Irrigation System Installation

Irrigation System Installation

A properly installed irrigation system keeps your lawn and garden healthy without wasting water. Greg designs and installs systems that are laid out to cover your specific property. Done right, it saves you time every week and keeps your yard looking its best through the dry season. It is a smart long-term investment for any property owner.

Yard Grading & Drainage

Yard Grading & Drainage

Poor drainage can quietly damage your foundation, kill your grass, and turn your yard into a muddy mess after every rain. Greg grades yards to direct water away from the right places and toward the right ones. This is detail work that requires experience reading how land moves water. Get it right once and the problem is solved.

Seasonal Cleanup & Maintenance

Seasonal Cleanup & Maintenance

Spring and fall cleanup keeps your yard healthy and ready for the next season. Greg's team clears out debris, trims back growth, and leaves the property looking clean and cared for. Skipping seasonal cleanup leads to bigger problems down the road — overgrowth, pest issues, and dead spots. It is maintenance that pays for itself.

Who We Are

A Team Committed to Excellence

Greg Minear

25 Years of Real Experience

Greg did not start this business from a YouTube video or a weekend course. He has been doing tree work and landscaping for over 25 years — long before he launched Greg's Landscaping and Much More about six years ago. That depth of experience means he can look at a yard and know exactly what it needs. You are hiring someone who has seen every situation and knows how to handle it.

Work Ethic You Will Notice

Every customer who has worked with Greg says the same thing — he is the hardest worker they have ever seen on a job site. That is not a marketing line; it is what people say. Greg treats every job like it is his own property. The attention, the care, and the effort are the same whether it is a small mulching job or a full patio and retaining wall build.

Yard overgrown? Patio crumbling? Retaining wall caving in?

Why Choose Greg's Landscaping and Much More

The Difference is Clear

Owner On Every Job

Greg is not the guy who sells you the job and sends a crew you have never met. He is on the job site, doing the work, and making sure everything meets his standard. That level of personal accountability is rare and it makes a real difference in the finished product.

Two Decades of Know-How

With over 25 years of hands-on experience, Greg has worked through every kind of property challenge the Quad Cities throws at you — clay soil, drainage issues, tight yards, uneven grades. That experience means fewer surprises and better results on your project.

Local, Not a Franchise

Greg's Landscaping and Much More is a locally owned business based right here in East Moline. You are supporting someone who lives and works in this community — not a regional franchise that sends whoever is available. Local ownership means real accountability.

Full Outdoor Services

Most landscaping companies do one or two things. Greg's crew handles retaining walls, patios, decks, fencing, lighting, irrigation, tree work, and more. That means you work with one trusted crew for the whole project instead of coordinating three different contractors.

Frequently Asked Questions

Got Questions? We’ve Got Answers!

Do you offer landscaping services in Davenport and Bettendorf, Iowa?

Yes, Greg's Landscaping and Much More serves both Davenport and Bettendorf along with the surrounding Quad Cities area. Even though the business is based in East Moline, Illinois, a large portion of the work is done across the river in Iowa. If you are in the Quad Cities region, there is a good chance Greg serves your area. Call (309) 292-0302 to confirm your location.

Can Greg's team handle both the retaining wall and the patio as one project?

Absolutely — and honestly, combining both in one project usually leads to a better result. Greg can design the retaining wall and patio together so they complement each other structurally and visually. Working with one crew for the full scope also means better coordination and fewer scheduling headaches. It is one of the more common project combinations Greg's team handles.

How long does a patio or retaining wall installation take in the Moline area?

The timeline depends on the size and complexity of the project, but most residential patios and retaining walls are completed within a few days to a week. Greg assesses each property before giving a timeline so you are not getting a vague estimate. Weather and material availability can affect scheduling, especially during busy seasons. The best way to get an accurate timeframe is to call and describe what you are looking for.

Does Greg do tree removal in Rock Island and East Moline?

Yes, tree trimming and removal is one of the core services Greg has offered for over 25 years. He works throughout Rock Island, East Moline, Moline, and the surrounding communities. Whether it is a hazard tree, storm damage, or a tree that has outgrown its space, Greg handles it safely and efficiently. This is not a side service — it is something he has been doing longer than most tree companies in the area have existed.

What kind of fencing does Greg install?

Greg installs fencing for residential properties across the Quad Cities. The type of fence — wood, vinyl, or chain-link — depends on your preference, property layout, and budget. Every fence is set with attention to grade and property lines so it goes in straight and stays that way. If you are not sure which type is right for your yard, Greg can walk you through the options.

Does Greg's Landscaping handle seasonal yard cleanup in the Quad Cities?

Yes, spring and fall cleanup is available throughout the East Moline, Moline, Silvis, and Rock Island area. The service covers debris removal, trimming, edging, and getting the property ready for the next season. Skipping seasonal cleanup tends to create bigger problems down the road, so it is worth staying on top of. Greg's crew moves efficiently and leaves the property looking clean when the job is done.

Is Greg's Landscaping a locally owned business or part of a franchise?

Greg's Landscaping and Much More is 100% locally owned and operated out of East Moline, Illinois. Greg Minear founded the business and works on the jobs himself — this is not a franchise model where you get a rotating crew. That local ownership means you are dealing directly with the person responsible for the work. It also means Greg has a personal stake in making sure every job is done right.

How do I get an estimate for landscaping work in the Quad Cities?

The easiest way is to call or text Greg directly at (309) 292-0302. You can describe what you need and Greg will figure out the best way to assess the project. For larger jobs like patios, retaining walls, or decks, he will typically come out and look at the property before giving a number. Greg does not charge for estimates — just reach out and get the conversation started.
