Home Services reviews in Elmhurst, Illinois

I’ve been searching for a landscaper for 4 years since I moved to Elmhurst and I finally found one who I can actually get a hold of and shows up when they say they will. They also do great work at a reasonable price. Could not recommend them more. Night and day from the other 5-6 companies I’ve tried over the last few years.

Hired this company for a project to fix our front steps because at the time they were doing our lawn services. It took the owner months to come out and give us a quote and another few months for the workers to come for the project which took a day. It was fine for me to patient because at the time they showed up every week and were reliable with our lawn maintenance. I wanted to give them the business. When he came out to give the quote he kept emphasizing how busy he was because it was one of his childrens weddings that weekend. He quoted me $800-$1000 for this project and said he’d send me a contract but he was so busy because of this wedding this weekend he didn’t know when he’d get to it. Trying to be an understanding human I said no issue thinking he’d operate in good faith (learned my lesson here - ALWAYS get it in writing). Once the bill finally came it was $1000 more than he quoted us. My husband called him to discuss this and essentially he told my husband that I was lying. After this terrible experience we paid him in full for this project and went our separate ways. Not 6 months later the bricks are ALREADY coming up on my front steps. I have a one year old and another on the way, so these are a big hazard for our family. When my husband texted the owner about the bricks coming loose, he sent us a photo of glue and told us to fix it ourselves. When my husband asked him to come out and have someone professional fix it, the owners said and I quote: “There is no "professional" expertise to it. When moisture gets in between the blocks and freezes, the water expands and pops the bricks loose. It's going to continue to happen from time to time.“ This is after we paid this guy $1000 more than he quoted us and after telling us this was a “sure permanent fix”. Anyway, I don’t enjoy writing negative reviews or having these kind of experiences with people, but I did feel it was necessary to share this experience with others. I’m a busy young mom and when finding businesses to hire for home maintenance you need to find ones you can trust. I want to make sure other families out there know how this company operates. If you can look elsewhere, you should.

Noah and his team are extremely professional and did an incredible job. Our yard looked like a jungle before we had them clean it up, and it looks amazing now.

Noah and his crew of hard working young guys are always polite & friendly, besides doing exceptional work. Our landscaping & grass never looked better.

this local business is operated by a young man I have known for many years with the supervision and assistance of his Dad. They perform great service at a competitive price and always go the extra mile. You won't be disappointed if you make them your "go to" service for your outdoor needs.

Noah and team designed and built our backyard project delivering exactly what they showed us. The construction went quickly, smoothly and without any surprises or problems.

We have been using Distinct Outdoor Living for the past year and they just finished a nice “tune-up” for us around the perimeter of the house. We’re very pleased with the results and with how they go about their work.

Wonderful job!!! So pleased with the plantings chosen. Have bees and butterflies for the first time in years!!! Appreciate the follow-up to ensure all the plantings are surviving in this heat!!!

Noah and his crew did a great job with our fall clean up. Our property had gotten a bit overgrown and out of control but they managed to separate the weeds from the landscaping and make it look great again

For a few years now, I have admired Noah and his small but mighty team working, servicing, and growing his lawn/landscape business in our neighborhood . This young man is the real deal and his professional consultation is such a breath of fresh air. Last Fall, he did a great job with our Fall clean up and this Spring he helped us design a new front yard landscape. It looks fantastic!

Noah and his team are very professional. Their workmanship and attention to detail are noticeable in everything they do.
I am looking forward to getting ideas from Noah on a landscaping project i want them to do for me later this Summer.

Noah and the Distinct Outdoor Living crew have been great to work with for all my landscaping and weekly lawn maintenance needs. I appreciate the hard work and drive both him and his team demonstrate.

Any sort of lawn, outdoor or landscaping need, Noah is your guy. After designing and installing all of my landscaping last year, he worked with me this spring to enhance the house and the landscaping with lighting. He did the lighting design, selection and installation. He was thoughtful with the design and meticulous with the installation. The end product is beautiful and I couldn’t be happier.

DISTINCT OUTDOOR LIVING has been a very professional and responsive business in taking care of my lawn needs this past season. Noah responds personally and in a timely manner to any and all concerns expressed. It has been pleasant experience working with Distinct Outdoor Living!

Noah and his crew are detailed oriented, polite and talented. Within a year, Noah took his business to a whole new professional level and is off to an amazing start! This young man has a bright future and I would recommend his services to all!

I would recommend Noah and the team at Distinct Outdoor Living for any project. I had used them for some smaller projects, and just recently used them to put in a paver patio, sidewalk, landscaping, and lighting along my side yard and my backyard. The end result is amazing and Noah was on top of everything. I look forward to using them in our next project.

Distinct Outdoor Living has done an excellent job for me. Noah and his crew are knowledgeable about plants, and work hard to help you realize the vision you have of your outdoor space. You will love your beautifully landscaped yard.

I use Distinct for all my landscaping needs. Noah and crew are very professional, courteous and knowledgeable. I have used them for lawn care, spring and fall clean-ups, mulch and the planting of shrubs and trees. The team does a great job and provide ideas for future landscaping projects. Very fast response time for all my questions. I totally recommend Distinct for all landscaping needs.

Distinct Outdoor Living has serviced our house for over 2 years. The team is professional and punctual. The services offered are extensive and Noah takes the time to understand all of our needs. Highly recommend!

The Distinct Outdoor Living team has taken care of our lawn for a season now. Our lawn has been neglected for 30+ years, but the help they've provided has us on the right track.

This year we also had the team trim our shrubbery and mulch all the beds.

Everyone we have worked with us is professional. Noah is very patient and will do walk throughs before and after every project to address any concerns.

Noah and his team were a pleasure to work with on our patio build from design to completion. Definitely recommend!
