A Little History

A young boy's dream driven by a family passion.

In the early 1970s Lloyd and Helen Hahn sprouted a small plant nursery on the west side of Evansville Indiana. What they didn't know at the time was that the best and brightest seeds they were planting in that small nursery were those that were growing inside their young grandson Danny Fuquay. As a young boy, Danny developed a knowledge and a love for plants while spending time with, and learning from his grandparents.

In 1993 Dan put his passion to work at a local landscape company. He honed his skills and began to learn and enjoy the beauty of natural stone landscaping. But he had bigger ideas, and he knew he could do better.

It didn't take long for Dan to merge his love for landscaping and his family business sense. In August of 1996 Dan Fuquay started his own landscaping company and proudly gave it a name that to this day reminds him of where it all started—Aching Acres.
