Brothers Heath and Travis Hurst, co-owners of Heath Outdoor, have acquired Spotts Garden Service with plans to expand!
Terry has retired, but we’re still GROWING!
For over twenty-two years, homeowners throughout Indianapolis have trusted Spotts Garden Service to care for their existing gardens and to design and install new gardens, with a focus on eco-friendly practices and native plants. A lifelong gardener and Hoosier born and bred, Terry Spotts founded Spotts Garden Center out of a desire to find creative ways to bring life outside and share his passion for gardening and plants with his friends and neighbors.
As the business grew, Terry’s sons McKenzie Spotts and Tom Spotts, both of whom grew up gardening with their dad, joined the company. McKenzie eventually became the CEO and Tom served as lead gardener. In 2023, Terry announced that it was time to retire. At that time, brothers Heath Hurst and Travis Hurst, co-owners of Heath Outdoor, acquired Spotts Garden Service. They now partner with our existing Spotts team to continue serving customers in the tradition Terry created, while also expanding the services available to Spotts customers through Heath Outdoor.
“I’m beyond thrilled to partner with Heath and Travis,” said Terry. “They’re good guys and they’re really good at what they do. They’ll bring a huge value to Spotts customers, because they’re great at building outdoor spaces, and Spotts is great at taking care of them. They’re as passionate about building relationships and taking care of their customers as I am. They see the strengths of what we’ve built here and they will only expand on that.”
“Spotts is a great business,” Heath Hurst said. “It’s a great complement to Heath Outdoor. Their philosophy is ‘work with nature, not against it.’ Their team is highly skilled in analyzing gardens, recommending complementary plantings, pruning and garden coaching. They’re specialists when it comes to planting native gardens, incorporating pollinators and biodiversity. The Heath Outdoor team is learning a lot from them.”
“The two businesses also complement each other because of the size of the teams,” added Travis Hurst. “The Spotts team is quite small, which sometimes caused scheduling issues in the busy seasons. Now, with the Heath Outdoor team available to support them, customers will find that their projects are happening more quickly. Also, if customers are looking for larger scale projects, such as hardscapes, water features or structures like pergolas or tiny houses in their gardens, Heath Outdoor can take care of that too. And conversely, Heath Outdoor customers now have access to a private gardening service with just one phone call.”
