Home Services reviews in Des Plaines, Illinois

⸻

In August 2024, I purchased 44 arborvitaes (4–5 ft and 5–6 ft tall) from Lurvey Landscape Supply, spending over $4,000. I was assured at the time that the trees came with a one-year free replacement guarantee, which was a major factor in my decision to buy from Lurvey.

By April 2025, five arborvitaes had died. When I contacted Lurvey, I was informed that because I had planted them myself, only a 50% discount would apply—something never disclosed at the time of purchase. I spoke with the manager, Michelle, who stated this had “always been the policy” and declined to fully honor the original promise. She ultimately offered a 25% refund as a courtesy.

While I appreciate the partial refund, the lack of transparency and unwillingness to stand by their word is disappointing.

Reliable and Honest Contractor, Highly Recommended!!!

Marcos did great work! Very timely, professional and quality is top notch. I would definitely recommend.

Very professional services. Always on time and work is done right. I had them do my mulch around the house and I wont be going back to any other company, id give them 6 stars if I could!

Long to schedule but the finished product is great and professional! UPDATE: Marcos corrected something from the last job at my house and was professional and quick. We appreciate it very much.

These people will give you an honest days work look no further for any of your landscaping needs. Marco and his crew were very fair with their pricing and their work was very professional and clean. I wouldn’t look any further for any of your landscaping needs.

Oceguera Landscaping company installed paver patio and walkways on our property. We're very happy with their work! Guys were on time, professional and did it exactly how we wanted it done. Their price for the service was very competitive, their personal approach and attention to detail was definitely something everyone will appreciate. I already recommended them to my friends. Thank you!

Marcos did excellent work! His attention to detail made sure the job came out fantastic. We couldn't be more happy with the concrete, brick patio and fence they built. I can't recommend them enough and we will definitely use them for any hardscaping work in the future.

Oceguera Landscaping replaced an old paver patio for us. (I’ve included before and after photos for reference). They came out with a competitive quote the same day I requested it and had the patio completed within a day that same week. Their work was clean, efficient and professional. We’re very happy with it and would highly recommend.

Absolutely TOP NOTCH! Oceguera landscaping installed a large brick patio in my backyard, a walkway around the house, with an additional front walkway, and we could not be happier. They were prompt with responses, showed up when they said they would, were very affordable, and worked FAST with quality work! They even went above and beyond once the bricks were laid, installing posts around the patio for us to string lights from and helped fill in perimeter sod. Very excited that spring is back so we can utilize this space again! 10/10 would recommend.

Great family-owned landscaping business. They’ve helped us with lawn care and yard cleanup and always do a great job. They’re dependable, easy to work with, and you can tell they really care about the quality of their work.

We had such a great experience with Choice Cut Landscaping! We recently moved into our first home and needed help with lawn maintenance. They did an amazing job getting everything cleaned up! Highly recommend to anyone looking for quality landscaping services. We’ll definitely be using them again.

I had a great experience with this landscaping company from start to finish. They were professional, reliable, and really took the time to understand what I wanted for my yard. The team showed up on time, worked efficiently, and paid attention to the small details that make a big difference.

The final result completely exceeded my expectations—everything looks clean, well-designed, and beautifully maintained. It’s clear they take pride in their work. Communication was also smooth throughout the process, which I really appreciated.

I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for quality landscaping and will be using them again in the future!

This team did a fantastic job digging out my old, grub infested front lawn. They treated the soil and added fresh topsoil and new sod; all for a very reasonable price! They were quick and efficient, communicated well every step of the process, and cleaned up everything. I would definitely recommend!

Choice Cut did an amazing job with the landscaping in my backyard! Looks great and was very well priced as a bonus. Highly recommend them to anyone in the need of landscaping services.

We have been customers of Choice Cut for many years and have referred several of our neighbors, friends and family to them because we love their service and how well they take care of us and our lawn. They handle our spring cleanup, they've done many landscaping projects and plantings for us, and also built our raised garden beds. Last fall they did a full lawn renovation for us and it totally changed the health and look of our grass. No matter what kind of project we need, they have been there to consult with their expertise, and deliver with their crew, on time and on budget. Highly recommend!

Great experience with Choice Cut. I would most definitely recommend their services. Quick, easy, great price.

Thank you to Choice Cut for redoing the backyard grading and planting in one of our projects. Very professional team! Know what they’re doing & an absolute pleasure to work with!

★★★★★ Outstanding Full-Service Landscaping Transformation

I posted the completed views first followed by the before pictures.

We hired Choice Cut Landscape Inc. to completely overhaul our property, and we couldn't be happier with the results.
The Project: They removed our outdated 1960s-era bushes and installed brand-new landscaping around our entire house. One standout detail—they carved a clean, beautiful edge line that makes mowing the lawn effortless and keeps everything looking crisp.
Design Process: Their designer, Paula, was an absolute pleasure to work with. She collaborated with us hand-in-hand every step of the way, helping us select amazing plants that matched our vision perfectly.
Installation & Team: The crew was phenomenal. They arrived early each morning and worked until at least 4:00 PM daily, maintaining excellent communication throughout. We were also impressed by how many management-level staff came out during installation to ensure everything stayed on track and met their high standards.
The Bottom Line: The entire process was seamless from start to finish. If you're on the fence about investing in your landscaping, take it from us—it's worth it, and Choice Cut Landscape Inc. is the team to trust. We love our new yard and highly recommend them!

Had a wonderful experience with Choice Cut. I called them on a Tuesday in the middle of their busy season, they came out and gave me an estimate the very next day. I needed my yard/landscaping cleaned up and mulched within a couple of days for a party at the house and they didn’t hesitate and got the job done professionally and beautifully. Very fair price for the amount of work I had and the crew they sent out were awesome! Shoutout Angel. Thanks Ray and Choice Cut team!

Never got back to me and seemed very rushed
