What Our Customers Say

Mail Order Reviews

"What a great website for clear and easy plant purchases. We own a winery and brewery and as we're expanding, we are excited to do more landscaping. I knew what I wanted and found as I browsed in the many nursery websites, some didn't have good pictures and some were difficult for me to navigate. I confess to being weak with my internet skills. McKay Nursery's site was as I said, easy for me to use. I will send another review once I get the plants and put them into the ground."

Rockbridge Winery from Raphine, VA (Google Review)

"Dear McKay Nursery, We received the three Palibin Dwarf Lilac bushes from you last month. We just want you to know how happy we are that we purchased them from you. I believe I spoke to a man named Michael at the time of ordering (late last year). He was extremely kind and helpful! The plants arrived in perfect condition, carefully packed, and I planted them in large pots the same day. They bloomed and were so fragrant that our neighbor come over to tell me she went over to smell them. She is considering a purchase of one Palibin, too. I emailed her your information. Many thanks for such lovely plants, and I know where we will buy more plants when we need to."

"I purchased shrubs late in the planting season (June), Nanking cherry and 2 serviceberries. I was curious as to why or how this company could offer plant material that is best shipped and planted while dormant. Cutting to the chase: the plants arrived quickly and grew beautifully! They arrived still dormant and I suspect that the company keeps them refrigerated until shipping. I'm very happy with the product and the responsive service, not to mention the miracle of plant availability after April! I will definitely be a returning customer."

John S. from Lexington, MI (Google Review)

"Wanted to let you know the bare root plants arrived safely in New Jersey. The plants were already sprouted even though they are bare rooted. Potted them and all three are vigorously growing. I am very pleased and happy with your plants."

Pat K. from Wyckoff, NJ (emailed in)

"I had to let you know that I received my little "Blondy" shrubs yesterday. They came in beautiful!! I am SO happy with them! The packing was the best I’ve ever encountered. No breakage, like many that I’ve ordered from other places. If I need further landscape items, you will be the first place I come to."

Leslie W. from Montague, MI (emailed in)

"I just want to say I am very impressed. The plant came in excellent condition, as described. The packaging is phenomenal. I have ordered from at least 5 nurseries, and this was the quickest delivery, best condition, and sturdiest packaging of any. I reached out to customer service and got quick, polite response from a human. Again, this is the best online nursery experience I have had. I would highly recommend, and will be a continued customer. Well done!"

Chris S. from Warminster, PA (Google review)

"Beautiful plants!! Ordered a live peony, several bare root elderberries, and a lily. All the plants were in fantastic condition and shipped in very secure packaging. Delivery was prompt and all plants are thriving and doing well. Will order again!"

Landscape Services Reviews

"We used McKay to do a complete landscape on three sides of our home.  They designed and installed a new brick walk and small patio and remodeled the landscape with a variety of new shrubs, perennials and grasses.  We are very satisfied.  McKay is very good and very accommodating."

Leslie from St. Charles, IL

"Thank you for the work you did for us. Your designer did a fantastic job working with us and overseeing the work. The two landscapers that worked on our project did a thorough and fantastic job also. The finished project is great! Thank you for taking care of our landscaping needs."

Patricia from Cambridge, WI

"McKay did an outstanding job with removal of an existing concrete patio, installed a beautiful new paver patio and refreshed our existing flower beds.  They are extremely professional and the results are stunning."

Steven from Pardeeville, WI

"Delivery and planting crew were top notch. 100% delivery arrived first thing in the morning and crew put everything where I wanted. Crew worked through rain and did a great job and even hosed off my driveway."

Greg from Madison, WI

"We have had McKay Nursery planning and planting our landscape for over 16 years.  They are so helpful and considerate in the design of our landscape.  We love the designs and they grow in through the years without getting that 'over-done' look."

Judy from Pleasant Prairie, WI

"McKay listened to our thoughts and concerns regarding the landscaping that we wanted for our home.  After going over the plan and plantings in detail, we decided to hire McKay to install our backyard landscape.  The crew arrived and completed the work in a professional manner.  We are very happy with the outcome."

Holly from Lake Mills, WI

"We love our landscape design, it is everything we hoped for and imagined, and also so much more.  We feel such happiness and pride in our home, and so thankful that you were so understanding, helpful and accommodating to our needs and the many moving parts. :-)

A lot of people have paid us many compliments. Our landscape design and installation was the talk of the town existing between Elroy, Wonewoc, and Hillsboro."

Dave and Beth

"The landscaping is one of our favorite parts about our house since we love spending so much time outdoors (even in the winter)! It is welcoming and blends beautifully with our countryside property. You are incredibly gifted at capturing who we are and making it come to life through landscaping. It's beautiful in every season (and that's quite an accomplishment given the winters we have in Wisconsin). There isn't a thing we would change about the landscaping. We love it all! Thank you for really helping this to become our home. You have blessed us immensely!"

Kimby from Cross Plains, WI
