Reviews of local pros in Des Plaines, Illinois

First things first, this place is beautiful and very clean. They have a good selection of common house plants and succulents. I was able to find what I was looking for, which was a trellis for my Manjula and Epipremnum Albo. Each trellis was almost $30 with tax. Which is outrageous. But I really enjoy taking care of my plants and I thought the trellis was perfect. If you’re looking for “rare” tropicals you’re better off looking online. Overall a really great shop.

We purchased six Blue Spruce shrubs and two trees 20 years ago. They are still absolutely beautiful and have had no issues. Grew just like we were informed they would

The parking situation is quite unfortunate. Very small parking lot, very crowded and zero spots available. I circled around but it’s very hard to navigate because multiple cars just park to the side waiting for spots to open. Never got the chance to go in.. now I’ll go elsewhere.

Rock and Stone!

Very large, good selection of plants

If you need something for landscaping they have it

Fast, friendly, helpful! Ramon was so helpful getting my order together which made pick up quick and easy. All the guys were nice and it was apparent, by their friendliness it is a good company to work for. Very well organized.

Excellent selection of plants at incredibly good prices. Looks like they have great hardscaping and other decorative items as well

Lurvey in Niles is an amazing place for anyone who loves plants, gardening, or landscaping. The selection is huge — from healthy flowers and shrubs to decorative stones and garden supplies — everything is top-notch. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and always happy to help you find exactly what you need or offer great advice. The grounds are beautiful and well-kept, making every visit a pleasure. It’s my go-to spot for anything garden-related. Highly recommend!

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.
