Lurvey Home & Garden — Attraction in Maine Township

Have you ever gone to a place that feels like an oasis away from the stress and worry in life? I found one. It's the Lurvey Home & Garden Center. Yes! I never though it would be possible until I went there and, wow, this was such a relaxing environment that I immediately felt a wonderfully calming effect. It was unbelievable!

First, the shop portion of the center is both quaint and sophisticated in its offerings and provides the finest in planting materials, furnishings, fountains, plants, hardscape, home decor and other gardening merchandise. Everything is displayed masterfully, and it's impossible not to have a smile on while walking through it.

The massive indoor greenhouse is absolutely stunning with explosions of floral color everywhere one turns. It's simply breathtaking in the scope of selections and provides a phenomenal amount of flower star power that excites, enriches and revitalizes the senses --- especially after Winter doldrums.

This then extends into the exquisite, breathtaking, monumental outdoor garden which could easily rival its European counterparts in its grandeur. Magnificently distributed along walking paths with trees, fountains, outdoor decor and sitting areas, this floral Eden is certainly an oasis which is transportive in its elegance. Gorgeous annuals and perennials of every variety are given their showcase --- their place in the sun! --- to extraordinary effect, and the result is mesmerizing.

One will find everything needed to make their gardens and indoor/outdoor spaces "Better Homes and Gardens" front cover-worthy. All merchandise is reasonably priced and extremely accessible to make customers' creative dreams a reality.

I find myself sitting outside in the garden area on a beautiful summer day with my eyes closed just basking in everything around me: smelling the beautiful flowers as the breeze captures their essence and runs away with it; listening to the water cascading from the many fountains that grace the premises; feeling the sun surround me in its healing splendor. Oh, there's nothing like it. I found my paradise! All Lurvey would need to do is serve frozen strawberry daiquiris to turn this into Mount Olympus! :-)

Yet, it's not just Spring and Summer that fills that space in my heart at Lurvey. Fall and winter also bring a jaw-dropping array of eye candy as the seasons change and reveal their own glory. Holiday is the perfect time to make Lurvey ones "go-to" spot for finding ideal decorations that are not standard and boring by any means. No, this is showstopper material that would make any event something guests would never, ever forget. Count on it!

In saving the best for last, I must compliment the amazing staff that makes Lurvey the "Rolls Royce" of garden centers. Friendly, engaging and extremely knowledgeable, the staff go above and beyond to make their customers feel like guests in their home while providing impeccable service and attention to detail. The staff love what they do, and it shows --- beautifully!

One staff member, Jeanne (hopefully, I got her name correct), is aways a joy each and every time my friend and I see her. She is an ideal ambassador for Lurvey and deserves to be recognized for it. But, as I said, the entire staff and grounds people always greet me with a "hello!", radiant smiles and a genuine desire to assist. They are simply the best!!!

Lurvey Home and Garden Center is a MUST for anyone who seeks to transform their gardens and indoor/outdoor spaces into showplaces to be enjoyed and cherished like...

We purchased 2 9’ White Pine trees from Lurvey’s. The selection and ordering with Tom was so easy! They were able to move the trees from their Volo location to Des Plaines for me to examine and approve! They arrived and they looked fantastic. Very full all the way to the ground and very healthy. The trunks were really surprising huge!! As was the root ball, which really helps a tree to handle the stress of planting. The arrangements for delivery and installation were handled by an outside landscape firm who arrived at the appointment time for the position marking and discussion. He really understood the whole tree planting process! We determined the exact place for the trees. The installers were great to work with. The trees looked even bigger on the truck, seeing them in person and not in the Lurvey’s large yard. They took as best care as they possibly do to get these huge trees into my very crowded yard, into place and planted, with as little damage as possible to the gardens, no easy task! One was installed on a slope by an existing, new fence in a narrow side yard! They really had to carfully lift and adjust the tree to get it into the ground. They had to take the very long way around the house for that one so they would not break off low branches of a birch tree that was in the short path. They planted quickly and were great to work with. Even with adjustments that had to be made once the digging started, moving the position a foot or so this way or that. One tree even had a bird nest in it, which we kept in place as it is good luck! The trees are settling in great and took off on their normal Spring growth. I must say that the quality and size and the trees and the smooth installation process, we feel we have quality trees that are set to take root and grow and well worth the cost. It is so great to look our windows and see these dense, beautiful pines and can’t wait for the resident cardinals to select one next year for their home. ...

New post! Thanks for your reply Jason, I incread the stars and respected your response. Your business is successful that's why I contacted you in the first place. I gave you business in the past. Sometimes we have an employee that has a bad day and obviously it was with me. I'm just hoping that you had a conversation with her because I took my business elsewhere because of her. If the opportunity comes to do business with your company again, I will be more than happy to bring you business, it is not your fault, one employee doesn't represent your entire company.

Old post Terrible service rep in Nursery/Garden. I'm an owner of real estate company in Bloomingdale. I called at 5:35pm on July 3rd 2019. A Gentleman answered and transferred me. I was on hold as transferred over Twice from him for a total of 15 minutes at least.The second time he said sorry I will make sure someone picks up this time and I said, "its all good thanks" When a woman finally answered on the second try it was about 6:50pm. I Indicated I was looking to have a pool filled with dirt and top soil for a yard in Des Plaines. I said I need 36'x8' fill and wanted an estimate of how many yards is needed, the price, how many truck deliveries etc. She interrupted me several times as I had to keep repeating as I she kept saying with an attitude, sir, you need to tell me how many cubic of dirt is needed because that is what we go by. I kept repeating I don't know I need you to convert for me. She said I need to know and put me on hold as I'm on hold right now since 5:50pm.- its 6:15pm I see they closed at 6pm so she totally blew me off and left me hanging as they closed at 6mp. HOW RUDE! I'm building a subdivision in Long Grove and Wauconda Il this year and next year as was going to inquire top soil service from Lurvey for the subdivision from their VOLO location.. NOT ANY MORE.! Terrible she gave me an attitude and purposely put me on hold...
