Home Services reviews in Naperville, Illinois

5++++! Although this is a retailer, it has a beautiful park-like setting, with benches, waterfall, stream, pond, shaded areas, and more! If I could rename it, I would call it The Happy Place!

Plants/shrubs/trees are healthy and in great condition. Everything is staged extremely well, and the variety of greenery is endless, with common as well as hard to find unique specialties.

I had called earlier looking for a specific tree, and the person on the phone was very professional, knowledgeable, and helpful.

When we arrived, we were able to find help immediately from no less than 5 employees at various times who were also extremely knowledgeable about their business offerings and able to give expert advice on planting & care.

The Growing Place may be a little more expensive then other nurseries, but not by much. The red carpet treatment, beautiful grounds, and huge selection of all things to beautify your landscaping makes this a great stop!

Not even a question---will be back soon!

Update- we chose a tree! Thanks, Maureen! She has helped us both times and is so knowledgeable!
We’re new to the growing place but have had lots of friendly help with our obnoxiously difficult yard. The hours could be better we always have to go on a weekend, but overall, great variety and selection.

I absolutely love the growing place! I frequent them often in the summer, but I had no idea they open in their gift shop in the winter, which is super cute. They have a huge array of different kinds of plants, including succulents, herbs, bushes, trees, flowers, fruits/veggies, and more! I would highly recommend them, their prices are fair as well.

It’s a blessing to have the Growing Place in our community. The Growing Place has an immense variety of perennials and annuals every year; and their gift shop always has an eclectic array of decor for your home, inside and out.

The Growing Place always has the best selection of hardy mums before the Fall and Halloween season and a beautiful array of holiday wreaths and decorative pieces during the Christmas and Hanukkah seasons.

Terri, along with the manager, gave my wife and I exceptional customer service today with the care, love, and helpfulness of a friend. Kath and I ended up buying two different beautiful metal craft bird baths.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 Stars – A Gardener's Paradise! (September 2025)

I stumbled upon The Growing Place while searching for unique native plants to spruce up my backyard, and wow—what a discovery! This isn't just a garden center; it's like stepping into a living, breathing dreamscape. The sprawling displays of perennials, shrubs, herbs, and organic veggies are so thoughtfully arranged that I spent over an hour just wandering and getting inspired. They had exactly the pollinator-friendly natives I was after, which you won't find at the big-box stores.

A friendly expert spent 15 minutes chatting with me (a total newbie) about soil prep and companion planting without making me feel rushed or silly. Their knowledge is top-notch, and the family-friendly vibe—with play areas for kids and wagons for hauling pots—makes it a fun outing for everyone.

Sure, prices are a tad higher than chain nurseries, but the quality and selection make it worth every penny. I've already recommended it to all my friends. If you're in Naperville, skip the ordinary and head here—your garden (and sanity) will thank you! Can't wait to return for their fall events. 🌿✨

This was the first time visting here. We thought it was amazing. Plants, trees shrubs, bushes, as far as the eye can see. Its a very huge place, so make sure you come with plenty of time to see it all. I came with the whole family. We enjoyed taking a walk through the whole garden. Their were many varieties of indoor and outdoor plants to choose from. It's so well organized and easy to understand. They have plenty of staff that is kind and knowledgeable on site. They carry all kinds of pots, garden statues, trellis supplies, fertilizer, pesticides, and so much more. Plenty of parking and wheelchair accessible. Prices are reasonable. I do plan on coming more. I highly recommend visiting this community gem if ever in the area.

Laurie did 400 sq feet landscape designs for my front (April) and back (July) yards. Vince, their landscaper, did the planting. I have had blooms from April thru currently, mid Oct. My yard has been transformed. The plants are beautiful and thriving. We are very pleased. I highly recommend the Growing Place!

Kevin from Sebert takes care of our HOA community and our homes and community area always look so beautiful and maintained weekly. He is always responsive to any and all questions. I’d recommend him to any community.

Think twice about hiring these people....you will get the short end of the stick.....short would also be your plantings. Promise you the moon, you get next to nothing. Employees are not trained properly and many are lazy. The only thing they worry about is CDH Hospital. Managers are cocky with a capitol C. They have way too much going on to take care of business properly. DO yourself a favor, head for the hills when it comes to Sebert.

Terrible experience with sebert. Crew has a total disrespect for people’s property when they are onsite. Foreman laughed when ask why vehicle where they were working were covered with mulch, stick and what ever else they blew all over them. Contacted company and received a unprofessional response to the situation from a Terry. Don’t do business with them if you value quality work.

Our community board hire Sebert Landscaping to take over for A1 Landscaping, as they had the contract for over 4 years and they started to slack. Sebert has had the contract since April and they are only moving one third of the property and when called the still do not come out to complete the job. I never thought I would say this but I miss A1, they only slacked off after a few years of service...I can't imagine what we will get on the third month and beyond.

Family owned company where owners are involved in the on site labor. They’ve been doing great work for our HOA for the last few years and we’re happy to have them on board.

They did an amazing job landscaping my yard! Not only were they prompt with the original site visit, but the professionalism was there start to finish. I worked with Mike and you could tell he knew what he was doing and cared about the final product. In addition to the new bushes, and pulling a stump out, they were able to repurpose the sod onto dead spots on my lawn. Really appreciative of all the efforts. Would recommend!

Great snow removal services

Fast delivery, good product! The staff was helpful and knowledgeable!

Had steve put new boards on my dads deck he did a lousy job didnt pound all nails, left big gaps, didnt remove old boards as he said he would in his contract. Spent a lot of time doing nothing..if your smart youd be better to do it yourself.

Great family owned business. Very friendly and helpful. Ordered mulch and it was top quality. Delivery was fast and easy. Will definitely be a returning customer.

We’ve been using Steve Miller for mulch and other landscaping services for many years. A great family-run business that has always been extremely helpful! We will continue to refer them to our friends and family.

I have been a customer of Steve Miller, Inc for a number of years, and I have been generally happy with their selection, service & price. This year was different. I ordered 1-1/2 tons of pond rock to fill in some gaps where my landscaping stone had thinned out. The rock was delivered as promised. However, the pond rock was covered in mud. Not some of the rock; ALL of the rock. I found I had to hose down each wheelbarrow load prior to spreading. It also seemed that the size of the rock had morphed since my last delivery (3 years) to a noticeably larger size. Prior deliveries seemed to average in the .750” – 1.000” range. This delivery was in the vicinity of 1.250” average. That made it difficult to fill in some thinning landscaping gaps with the bigger pieces. I will scout out some competitors next time.

Nice people to do business with. They responded to all my messages promptly, great location, good service, they have mulch, compost, sand, reasonable prices. We will come back.

Grand Landscaping has been a game-changer for our business property. Professional, responsive, and detail-oriented. Having a dedicated client advisor made everything seamless. Highly recommend for anyone who values quality and reliability.
