Meet The Sexton Companies

John Sexton Sand and Gravel

Founded by the late John Sexton in 1932, the company started as a comprehensive waste, environmental, grading, and land reclamation construction service.  Headquartered Hillside, Illinois, just west of Chicago, the company has developed, operated and managed almost every facet of the waste industry from designing, permitting, and construction of landfills, to daily operations of transfer stations, material recovery facilities and landfill gas to energy plants, located throughout the United States over the last 77 years.

Sexton Energy

Sexton Energy L.L.C., established in 2003, currently operates projects in 3 cities located in the Chicago land region: Des Plaines, Beecher, and Westchester.  The company has also partnered with the City of Columbia, Missouri on the designing and construction of a similar project.

Sexton Development

Sexton Development specializes in upscale, luxury communities in the Chicagoland area.  In paying attention to details and adding the features that today’s home buyers are expecting, Sexton Development has the new home you are looking for, located in a community you want to call home.

Sexton Tree Nurseries

Sexton Nurseries is a family owned and operated nursery located just south of Chicago off of I-57 in Richton Park, Illinois. Sexton Nurseries is working to provide large growth trees on a wholesale basis, in both the local, regional and national markets. The nursery itself also is part of the Sexton's Green Initiative Operations and is just one of many ways Sexton is looking to be more environmentally responsible and take positive steps to help combat green house gas emissions in the region.

Sexton Wind Power

Sexton’s most recent addition is Sexton Wind Power L.L.C. which was established in 2008 and is currently working on their first wind project.  All projects that Sexton does are not only economical, but also help offset green house gas emissions and aid in reducing our environmental footprints, following suit in Sexton’s Green Initiative Operations. These types of green projects make the Sexton Companies a qualified leader in the alternative energy market. Sexton over the years has been among the leaders in understanding the environmental needs of projects themselves, the environmental needs of communities, and working to create synergies to benefit all parties involved.  Since most wind projects have a lot of public exposure, we strive on keeping everyone informed and listening to all concerns that our neighbors may have.
