Patrick Furey
had this to say:
Stopped by this great shop yesterday to pick up plants for a front yard redesign. I was initially going to a large retailer but saw them on my way, and made a smart decision by going in. Not only were the prices more affordable, but the quality of the plants was better and customer service was personalized. McCormick’s knowledge of which plants would thrive and give me the best coverage really helped us choose the right plants. Then they offered to deliver and install!
We will be coming back soon for phase 2!

I’ve had the pleasure of working with a lady who assisted me several times in selecting a great variety of plants for my client. She did an excellent job—knew exactly what would work well, what would look best, and even advised on the ideal arrangement for the best visual impact. Outstanding service and great people to work with.

had this to say:
This is the most extensive nursery I have ever been at in many years. Too bad I live in Colorado. There were lots of trees that I wanted to buy. These guys not only have great product but they take care of it and they guarantee it. The woman, who works there, does a great job and they have a full staff to do landscape architecture in your yard. I wish they were in Colorado too. What a wealth of plants and trees. I have planted over 200 trees in my yard. This place is stellar.
