Looking to enhance your landscape or add a unique touch to your garden? McCumber Fine Gardens offers an impressive selection of distinctive accessories and designs. I recently purchased a beautiful Buddha statue and an Asian pagoda lantern for my meditation garden, and they have made a wonderful addition to the space. The staff was knowledgeable, professional, and incredibly helpful throughout the process. From unique plants and pottery to fountains, statues, and decorative accents, you'll find plenty of options to match your personal style and gardening needs.

We tried to become a good customer, but the arrogant attitude of the owner was too much to take. we planned several thousand dollars for our project. We were holding on the phone and overheard nasty comments about us. Shame on her! Go elsewhere.

We put off landscaping our yard during covid. This fall I saw an Instagram post from McCumber and decided to check out their website. I called and setup a site visit. Kendall listened to all the ideas I had dreamed up for two years and gave me the game plan on how we could make it work. Her crew showed up as scheduled, worked efficiently, and left the areas they worked in clean and neat. Great communication daily and prompt response to emails and phone calls. I'll return to McCumber in the spring to buy my plants for the garden boxes and anything else I dream up! I highly recommend this company.

So happy with the plants we bought yesterday. Everyone should see this beautiful place and pick up some new plant babies! (And pet the big doggies)
