About 80 years ago, Clarence and Ernie Van Liew began
manufacturing concrete lawn ornaments. By doing so, they became
pioneers in the decorative landscape industry. The brothers also
featured wood products such as fencing, furniture and trellises,
and became well known for their tremendous selection.
Today, Van Liew's
features more than 150 different concrete urns and more than 150
working fountains. In addition, you'll find concrete tables and
benches, statues, bird baths, garden ponds,liners, pumps, fountain
heads, filters, weathervanes, sundials, and gazing balls.
Van Liew's continues
to manufacture their own statuary. But they also stock a wide
variety of products from other suppliers across the country. Many
of their customers travel great distances to get to Van Liew's
because they know there isn't another store like it
anywhere.
Regardless of their
success, the company continues to display the integrity and work
ethic unique to a family business. Together with more than a dozen
employees, Clarence's son David, David's wife Louise, and
Grand-daughter Michelle, are carrying on the practice of serving
loyal customers from across the Midwest. They'll make sure you get
the products and services you need.
Van Liew's serves
both residential and comercial customers in search of unique
landscaping accessories. They provide delivery service direct to
the job site and stand behind every item they sell.
