This is fun… it has some very interesting statuary’s and yard art decor. They have wonderful plants and for a small business they are doing their best to stay up to the times and current trends. It’s a very intimate shopping experience not pushy and ready to help when asked.
I love this place! I went in to look for a pot for a plant and was amazed at what I stumbled across!
I pass this place all the time on Old Las Vegas Highway and figured even though their bread and butter was probably landscaping, I might still be able to find a small ceramic planter.
Apparently, not only to they create waterfalls for people’s back yards, but they also have an excellent selection of very happy healthy house plants, even a few of the harder to find types you see on Instagram and lust after.
They have tons of pots from giant glazed works of art to the simple and affordable terra cota variety I needed for my tiny Agave plant, and the staff was happy not only to help me find what I needed, but they also graciously punched a hole for drainage for me because I know I would have broken it trying.
The whole place is like a botanical garden where you can actually take the plants home with you, if you can afford them. They range in price (from my perspective) from totally within range to I need to win the lottery to buy that, but based on how good they looked and how long some had to grow to reach the size they were, I’d say the prices I saw were appropriate.
And if you make sure your timing is okay with the staff, they even allow well behaved dogs to accompany you as you wander around looking at all the beautiful things on display.
We just completed a large garden extension. McCumber and crew did a wonderful job! They built a beautiful kiva fireplace and a unique gate surround. They added on to my irrigation and planted over two hundred plants, shrubs and trees. It’s breathtaking! Thank you, Kendall, Eduardo, Andrew , Delaino , and all your hardworking crews. It was a pleasure working with you.
If I had to sum up my experience with McCumber in two words: “Terrible Communication.” I tried very hard and be patient with them on a landscaping project. They might be good at their store and perhaps others had a better experience with them, but I had to constantly chase them for updates; otherwise, nothing gets done. Even then, emails often go unanswered. I got as far as being told that the sketching and design phase of my landscaping project had begun, but then the communication stopped completely. Save yourself the time and the $250 consultation fee—go with someone else.
To their credit, they let my dog in…
NOTE they DO HAVE A CAT… My dog ignores cats, so it was cool.
Almost nothing is priced… one normal- sized hanging pot (cheap plastic pot with petunias) WAS marked… over $100!?
I saw 2 sage plants, side by side (identical cheap plastic pots). I asked why one was marked $29.95 & the other $80… she quickly said one was “up-potted”… I guess they just hadn’t taken the old price tag off the plant… honestly…that plant was NOT worth $80…. they were all tiny!
Another plant I was interested in was $29.95 (not marked)… she said they just came in & to buy them NOW because they’re about to be up-potted & will be about $60… so probably tomorrow, they will double in price with no growth…
🙁
If we have to pay high prices for plants in the desert, I’ll spend my money locally, in town.

I can’t wait to go back just to take more photos!

Overpriced, small selection.
