Home Services reviews in Belleville, Illinois

Just wanted to added...Big Thanks to the staff at Effingers... I was looking for Mammoth Sunflower transplants...one staff member especially...only nursery had them...EVERYONE WAS SUPER...My Senoir Aunt...drove me there...I AM SO HAPPY...THANK YOU ALL!!!

The plants are well tended to, the employees are very welcoming and helpful, and informative. I loved being there with coworkers and students

I pulled into the lot at 4 minutes to closing on a Sunday last week. The staff did not try to tell me they were closing, in fact they said for me not to rush! I knew exactly what I wanted and they had exactly what I needed. The friendly staff helped me and I was paying in no time. Then, after I had loaded the plants in the car, I realized I needed soil. Another very helpful and friendly staff member showed me to the potting shed, where she said I could pot my plants in the holders I just purchased. Wow! I will be returning as this was my very first visit to this business.

Tons of selection I was finding nowhere else. Got some great help in putting together some nice hanging baskets for my apartment balcony for the first time.

Rick is amazing. I went to the garden center today and he went above and beyond to help me with my gardening needs. Knowledgeable, friendly, and oh so helpful! I am even considering a part-time job he offered in the spring! The garden center is beautiful and peaceful. I can see spending hours there playing in the dirt and helping young things grow. :)

Was just gifted with a HUGE plant rack so, I was planning on getting a variety of different plants. Money was NO ISSUE! The lady that was helping me was wonderful took the time (only with her for maybe 15 mins) as she was explaining the one plant I love which was a $40 bonsai plant THE OWNER yells at her and says you’ve spent enough time with her and there was a man that needed help with 1 plant. So, instead of helping the man herself she was ignorant enough to rudely Interrupt us for the service the lady was giving me. The reason I went to this nursery was because I was told by my neighbor that it was a wonderful place. Well was she wrong! I just moved here and I spend a lot of money especially during the summer on plants. I will NEVER go there again, and if any asks I will steer them in a different direction. I owned a business for over 30 years and now retired. I expect workers these days to be the rude, disrespectful ones but, in this case it was the owner! I was in complete disbelief and left empty handed! I’m at Home Depot now, getting at least a start up until I find a nursery that treats customers with respect!

UPDATE: spent almost $500 on these beautiful plants from HOME DEPOT. So now my new plant rack is finished no thanks to the owner at this nursery! I have another beautiful larger plant rack I need to fill so, guessing there are other nurseries I will research. If not Home Depot apparently is the place to go GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE! EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED ON MY FIRST VISIT AND LAST VISIT TO THIS NURSERY!

We went to Effingers with no knowledge of what we wanted being first time homebuyers, we were pointed in the direction of Rick. I can not say enough good things about Rick, he took his time to draw a picture of different setups we could use and different plants. He then walked us around and showed us what they were and told us about the plants. Not once did he pressure us to get anything or make us feel like we were a burden to him on a busy Saturday afternoon. We will definitely be going back for all things outdoors!

My wife and I drive from Marissa to come to you. It's one of our family's favorite places to go in town during the garden season. They offer a great variety. Always kind and helpful. Kids feel welcome. Great place all around.

Love Effinger, stopped by yesterday for some dwarf Hamlin and this BEAUTIFUL SOUL just gifted me this lovely floral. It was so preety I was gonna go back in and buy one, she just gave me hers

The owner, Trudy, helped me select a Hibiscus today. It had a beautiful light pink bloom! I Love Effingers Garden Center, as they have so much to choose from & the service is Awesome!

This is THE BEST PLACE for plants, flowers, bushes, trees!!! They have a fabulous selection!! GREAT PRICES!!!! Everything is very reasonably priced. The STAFF is outstanding!!! They were of great help, friendly and polite. No one acts like they’re bothered to help you or answer your questions in fact they seem eager to help!!! We went to 4 local nurseries in the Belleville and Millstadt IL and this place takes the cake!!! Great job team and thank you for a wonderful experience! I will continue to shop here!!!

The staff at Effinger Garden Center was outstanding! I started an outdoor classroom garden at my school and they were great help! They were so kind and donated to my project! Every time I go there, I’m greeted with a smile and helping hand! Thank you for not only providing amazing flowers and plants, but helping the community!

Needed to replant all new landscaping for our house and I had no idea where to start. Someone on the phone told me what to bring in and today, Cathy was incredibly helpful! She spent dedicated time working with me in what I like, what I was looking for, and what worked best in our situation. Even managed to stay right on budget! Thank you so much, can’t wait to get everything planted to see the final results!

DA Concrete and Landscaping, led by Mr. Leo Álvarez, offers excellent service and high-quality work. 💪

Diamond in the rough, I was very pleased with this company. They were first hired to do a small pathway for me, and after getting to know them and seeing how hard they worked, I asked them to build a retaining wall. Over 100 feet long, 6 feet tall, on a downhill driveway.
They were very respectful of my neighbors, admired their work, and are hiring them too. I'll wait for them to free up, as I have other projects I need help with.

I couldn’t be more impressed with the work DA Concrete did on our backyard project. We had a serious issue where rainwater was pooling near our basement window, creating a real concern for potential water intrusion. The area was uneven, messy, and not properly directing water away from the house.
DA Concrete came in and completely transformed the space. What was once a problem area (as you can see in the “before”) is now a clean, professionally finished concrete patio that not only looks great but functions exactly as we needed. The grading and slope were done perfectly—water now drains away from the house, giving us real peace of mind.
What truly stood out was their efficiency and professionalism. They completed the entire job in just one day, without cutting corners. The finish is smooth, the lines are clean, and everything blends seamlessly with the existing space.
If you’re looking for a company that understands both aesthetics and proper drainage solutions, DA Concrete is the team to call. Highly recommend

My concrete patio was fractured and sinking and I needed it replaced. I called DA Concrete and spoke with Leo. He came out gave me a very fair estimate and I’m totally pleased with the work that Leo and his crew did. Took a shot in the dark and it was GOLDEN. Actually hiring him for other work I need done. You hire DA Concrete, I’m sure you will not be disappointed.
