All those April showers were well worth the wait—May has arrived, and everything is in full bloom. It’s the time of year when everything starts to come together, and your landscape truly begins to shine.

At Knob Hill Landscape Company, we make sure what’s growing is exactly what you want to see—so you can enjoy the results without the stress.

Lewis & Clark Confluence Tower: Open to the Public
We’re proud to share the completion of a major project in Hartford, IL—the Lewis & Clark Confluence Tower.
Since beginning work last fall, this site within the National Park Reserve has been transformed. The area marks the historic starting point of the Lewis & Clark expedition following the Louisiana Purchase and offers stunning views of the Mississippi and Missouri River confluence.
To our entire team—sales, design, and the crews who made the journey—thank you. Your hard work made this possible. We’re honored to be part of a project the public can enjoy for years to come.

The Flowers of May
Lily of the Valley
Known for its delicate white bell-shaped blooms and sweet fragrance, Lily of the Valley is a classic symbol of happiness and renewal. Thriving in shaded areas, it’s a timeless late-spring favorite. While beautiful, all parts of the plant are toxic if ingested, so it’s best enjoyed in areas away from pets or small children.
Hawthorn
A member of the rose family, hawthorn is known for its thorny branches, fragrant white-to-pink flowers, and bright red berries later in the season. Its blooms provide an important nectar source for bees and butterflies, and each flower contains both male and female parts for efficient pollination.
