About us
At the heart of K.C.N. Solutions, (Kickapoo Creek Nursery) is a nursery. We put time and care into everything we do. We are committed to continuing to provide the best tree stock, bulk goods and customer service that our customers have come to know and love.
Trees
Our large tree field is sure to have something for everyone. Kickapoo Creek Nursery offers a variety of zone-hardy trees available for pickup or delivery. Our trees range in size, variety and color.
Please note: Kickapoo Creek Nursery has specific times of the year where tree harvesting is ideal. The deciduous tree harvest period starts mid-October through early May.
TREE CARE
Proper water is crucial for new landscape plant material.
- Shade Trees & Evergreens should be watered every 10-14 days. Place hose at the base of the tree or evergreen at a pencil thin stream until the water starts to backflow out of the hole. Increase or decrease upon rain intervals.
- Slow watering allows more water to enter the soil. The idea is to keep soil moist, not saturated.
- Maintain mulch at 2" deep and fertilize each spring!
Bulk Goods
Our stock of mulch, rock, dirt and sand can be found on site and is easily accessible for loading. We offer delivery services for an additional charge.
