Gardécor® means "Upscale Outdoor and Garden Decor". The company was created to concentrate quality and unique home and garden decor at one stop.

Your total satisfaction is very important to both you and us. Gardécor®, Inc. is licensed by the state of Colorado, USA. Our Colorado State Tax ID # is 24-34740-0000.

Paul, California"I went to other websites...they were either higher in price for the same item, with lower shipping or lower in item price and even high shipping! So, I did try other avenues before purchasing with you....I can only tell you that you now that you will have a long standing customer in me because of the adjusted shipping cost. It certainly made my day. "

We respect your privacy and disclose no personal information to other companies (shippers and manufacturers of course need your address/contact info). No personal marketing statistics are kept on individual customers. Your identity is treated as if your were to enter a retail store; we don't even know what you look like! For questions before you purchase, you can use our Online Inquiry Ticket System. If you don't have an email address, you can retrieve your response with your browser.
The checkout is securely encrypted with 128-bit encryption used by banking industry. This type of encryption is so secure that the encryption program not allowed to be exported to unfriendly countries. This website is routinely audited for new hacking technologies and updated to prevent these attacks.
Cookies are used only to keep track of your searches and shopping cart contents. Your shopping cart contents will be saved in a cookie - that is, you can shop now and return later to make the final purchase. Gardecor® doesn't allow third party marketing agencies to track your activities for their benefit, and we don't sell your information to third parties.
We loathe spam, too. The only email you will receive is regarding your order or inquiry or if, at checkout, you checked the box to notify you of updates, special offers, and news. We promise.
We have become aware there have been fraudulent e-mail (possibly from our competitors) being sent that says it is coming from Gardecor.com and leads the reader to believe that we are sending unauthorized email. We do not. We recommend that you do not open any attachments and delete the e-mail immediately. Gardecor® may send official notification messages on occasion, but they rarely include attachments. If you receive an email that includes an attachment and are in doubt about its authenticity, please contact us. Gardecor, Inc. takes its customer relationships very seriously, but cannot take responsibility for the unauthorized actions of third parties. Thank you for your understanding.
PRODUCT GUARANTEE. All product manufacturer warranties are honored by the appropriate manufacturer or importer, not by Gardecor, Inc. We will help you file your claim but are not responsible for their decision. Once they make a decision, Gardecor, Inc. is not obligated to extend it any further. It is the customer's responsibility to contact the manufacturer for a warranty claim. If your item arrives damaged, notify the shipper and us. See below for more information about receiving damaged goods. Refer to our Terms and Conditions of Sale for more information.PRICE CHALLENGE: We offer competitive pricing. If you find an identical item on the Net at a lower total cost (price of item plus shipping, handling, and tax), let us know. We will try our best to offer you a lower price. This is a challenge, not to be confused with a guarantee. The competitive eStore must be a legal U.S. business site and not an auction or "garage sale" type website (such as Craig's List). The listed item on the competitor's site must not be a "lost-leader" item (priced below their cost to attract your business); a used or secondhand, display, backordered, or refurbished product. We reserve the right to not underbid the competitor. For consideration, you must send us the following:
Exact URL of the product (not the home page).
- The item name.
- The catalog number (ours and competitor's).
- The competitor's final price including tax, shipping, and handling charges.
Payment. Prices are in US dollars. We accept Visa, Mastercard, Discover/Novus, American Express, money orders, cashier's and other checks, and pre-approved purchase orders. We do not accept bank transfers. To reduce credit card fraud, all orders not going to the credit card holder's billing address, large orders, and international payments will be aggressively verified. Expect a phone call from Gardecor® and/or your credit card company to confirm your order.Before your order proceeds to the next step or manufacturing starts for your item, payment must be received and you agree to pay your order total at the time of order. This prevents credit card fraud and Internet shop lifting and helps to keep your costs down. Thank you for your help and understanding.
Order Process. We use email so allow the domain, GARDECOR.COM to bypass your spam filter. Spam filters are getting tighter and tighter and sometimes our emails don't get through and customers don't get important information. Gardecor® is not responsible for you not getting information if you don't allow email from our domain through your spam filter. We don't send spam and never have - we promise.
After you place your order, look for an email receipt. If you don't get one, then look in your spam folder and allow email from GARDECOR.COM bypass your filter. If can't find your email confirmation, then contact us to resend it.

Shipping Policies, Lead Times, Shipping, Freight, Rates
Please refer to Gardecor® Special Quotes for more information about freight shipments.DELIVERY DATES Are Not Guaranteed. The shipping companies are not in our control, and trucks can be delayed. We will provide estimated shipping dates, however, these are just an estimate. Refer to our Terms and Conditions of Sale for more information.
Once an item ships, it is your responsibility to track your shipment. Be aware that most shippers like UPS, FedEx, DHL, etc will deliver to the address, not the person. Our policies comply with the shippers' policies in every respect and Gardecor, Inc. does not in any way extend or modify the shipper's policies.
Customer agrees that neither Gardecor, Inc. nor the manufacturer are responsible for timelines, especially those set by the customer or the customer's installers. For large freight shipments, you'll receive an email with instructions when your order ships.
If there is a problem such as loss or damage, then notify us immediately. Note all damage on the shippers bill of lading or signed receipt and get a copy for your claim. Keep all packing material until your claim is closed. Detailed, in-focus photos may be required and customer agrees to supply them. If you don't, then your claim can be denied. You agree to allow a representative of the shipper to inspect the original shipping material and carton. Keep these on hand if you make a claim otherwise your claim may be denied.
Neither Gardecor, Inc. nor it's suppliers are responsible for lost or damaged shipments. This is the responsibility of the shipper. Either Gardecor, Inc. or the manufacturer/supplier will file a claim with the shipping company. Customer can offer suggestions, however, either Gardecor, Inc., the manufacturer or shippers will determine the best resolution, not the customer. If the customer refutes the resolution, then the customer is responsible for all costs above the resolution determined by Gardecor, Inc., the manufacturer, or the shipper.Expected Shipping Schedule.
- All shipping and delivery times are approximate.
- Please don't confuse "shipping" with "delivery". "Shipping" is when the order leaves the origin. "Delivery" is when the order arrives at the destination. Most items are shipped within 1-3 weeks of receipt of your order.
- Made-to-order items, special orders, seasonal, personalized, or customized items may take longer to craft and ship. Over 95% of our made-to-order items ship within an average of 3 weeks.
- Some items, such as our wrought iron and cast stone lines, may take longer because they are either custom-made to order or not have every color of every item is in stock. Lead times to ship are on the product page.
- If you're uncertain or need to double-check, please call us. Time to clear checks and receive purchase order payments add to the lead times given.
International Destinations. Gardecor, Inc. does not take responsibility to ship some items outside of the continental USA. We will ship to a US port of entry/exit, and the customer is responsible for shipping into their country from there. Other responsibilities held by the customer include contracting the customs broker or an exporter to take care of your freight for international destinations. Contact us to determine whether we can ship your item outside the Continental USA. Refer to our Terms and Conditions of Sale for more information.
Duties, customs, country taxes, brokerage fees, other international costs. The client is responsible for duties, customs fees, costs from international shipments, and country taxes due to international shipments. Contact your country's customs department to determine your final costs. Upon delivery, the recipient may have to pay duties and other customs fees. Gardecor, Inc. is not legally responsible for and do not pay these fees. Refer to our Terms and Conditions of Sale for more information.
Free Shipping or Shipping Included? Where shipping is included with selected items, the shipping method will be our method of choice only to the Contiguous United States ("lower 48"). The customer will pay the additional cost for rush, expedited, overnight orders, and shipments outside the contiguous USA. With rapidly fluctuating fuel costs, our prices can change, even after you place your order. If this is the case, customer agrees to pay the increased rate. Contact us for a good freight estimate or quote in some cases.
Types of Shipping: Common Courier & Freight. There are two types of shippers, common courier and freight. "Common couriers" include UPS, FedEx, USPS, & DHL. They transport the lighter and smaller items less than about 80 lbs and less than 10-ft long. There are other restrictions that might prohibit your order to ship via common courier.
If your order can't go via common courier, it'll ship via "freight". Heavy and/or large items are shipped by freight (e.g., semi-truck). The larger, heavier (over approx 80-100 lbs), or modestly large or heavy fragile items under 100 lbs will arrive by semi truck or a service other than common courier. Some fragile items such as smaller cast stone statues may ship via freight. The freight company might delivery your order in a semi-truck or might transfer your order to a small truck. You'll receive tracking information and are responsible for tracking your shipment and arranging delivery.
"Lift-gate curbside" delivery is the standard service where the driver removes your packages and/or crates from the truck and places them at the back of the truck. If the truck (semi or smaller) can't fit into your driveway, they will put your crate/s at the end of your driveway ("curbside"). The driver is not obligated to move the crate beyond the back of the truck. Some carry pallet jacks and some don't. If they do, then they may move the crate as a courtesy to you. They might ask for your help in moving the crate. We suggest that you discuss this with the freight company when they call to schedule your delivery.
If you require more than curbside service, please contact us for a White Glove Service Estimate (unavailable for cast-stone concrete items) and specify what you need. Delivery may not be able to be upgraded for some items. White Glove isn't available for all products. Call us.If you live where semi trucks cannot travel (e.g., narrow and winding roads), inform them of this so that they can arrange for a smaller truck.
Signature of receipt is required for all freight shipments. Ensure to inspect your shipment and if you notice any damage, get documentation signed by the driver listing the damage. If you don't get documentation of damage, your claim may not be processed.
Levels of Freight Delivery Service.
Commercial Delivery. Shipped to commercial zones (not residential areas) and client is responsible for unloading from the truck. Some drivers may help but are not obligated. The truck does not travel into residential areas.Order Can't Be Delivered? We are not responsible for charges when (1) the customer gives a wrong address or (2) the recipient is not home on redelivery attempts. If the shipper returns the item to us or our supplier after 2 or 3 delivery attempts, depending on the shipper's policies, for any reason, the customer will be charged for actual shipping and handling both ways as well as a restocking fee. We will redeliver the order at the customer's request after the customer pays the additional shipping and handling charges.Residential Delivery. Truck will travel into residential areas. Crate will be unloaded from the truck and placed at the end of your driveway for you (see above under "lift-gate curbside" service). Sometimes the truck can make it into a driveway, but we make to guarantee that is the case for all destinations. This is the level of service provided when items are shipped free.
If you're in a gated community that disallows certain trucks, additional fees will apply to transfer the goods to an appropriate truck.
White Glove Service comes in different levels depending on what you require. Not all items can ship via White Glove. Generally, the freight company will blanket ship to a third party who transports your order to you. This service may include uncrating, hauling away the packing materials, moving the items to your desired location inside or outside. The cost of this service depends on what lever you chose, how far from the truck your items must be moved (e.g., down a dirt or stone path, up several flights of stairs, etc.). We don't offer installation services such as for fountains. Contact us for details.
Custom Projects are available for wrought iron, wrought and polished steel, cast stone concrete plaques and fountains, and some slate plaques. Custom wrought-iron furniture has a reasonable price because each piece is hand wrought. We can use your design or ours as long as the design isn't copyrighted by another company. Designs older than 100 years are beyond copyright. Original unique cast stone projects can be upwards of $10,000 just to hire a sculptor and make the mold.
LARGE ITEMS or BULK ORDERS: Request a Quote
You can request a quote by putting the items in your cart and proceeding through checkout. This applies to sets of furniture, large fountains, several light fixtures or signage for new housing developments, etc. For payment method, select "Request a Quote" and complete the checkout process. No payment information is needed. Please allow approx 2-3 business days for us to research the best freight price for you. Most items receive a freight quote while others receive a freight estimate. If freight substantially changes or the method of delivery or destination isn't what's on the quote, then the customer is either reimbursed or charged the difference.
Full-Price Returns. Replacements or returns for full price are granted only if the merchandise has a manufacturer defect. Gardecor, Inc. must be notified within 24 hours of receiving the item in order for a full-price return to be considered. Gardecor, Inc. and/or the supplier/manufacturer will decide whether an item will be replaced, repaired or refunded. If an item is defected and can be repaired, Gardecor, Inc. or its supplier reserves the right to repair the item or send a kit so the customer can fix the item in lieu of returning the item.
No returns or refunds are granted because the item color does not exactly match the color on the monitor or when you print it. You have the option to receive a color sample for most merchandise. If you don't order a sample and the color isn't as you expect, then we cannot accept complaints about the color. For color-finished cast stone products, neither Gardecor, Inc. nor the supplier/manufacturer, will accept objections to the final product color if you don't request samples before ordering your concrete fountain, statue, etc. Returns or refunds are also not allowed because an item differs by 10% or less in either dimension unless the customer pays actual shipping both ways and any restocking policy imposed by the supplier or manufacturer. Nor will full-price returns be allowed for mistakes on the customer's part, such as entering the wrong address numbers for personalized address markers.
Check your receipt carefully immediately after ordering. Notify us within 24 hours of delivery if there is a problem with the product to be considered for a full-price return.
Other Returns. Returns can be granted if the customer simply doesn't want the item. Personalized and custom, made-to-order merchandise are not included. The return must be requested within 2 weeks of receiving the merchandise, no exceptions. Customer is responsible for actual shipping both ways even if the item price included shipping or your invoice shows differently. Restocking policies and fees may apply.
Personalized, made-to-order, special orders, or other custom items (e.g., spray rings, cast stone items, some artifical plants, etc.) are not returnable and not refundable. Ensure that you are ordering the correct item and it will fit your space and design.
*** All returns must be approved by us before you return the item. ***
- A claim must be filed in writing (email or fax) within 2 business days of receipt of the item, and you must receive a reply within a day otherwise the claim can be considered as not received.
- The claim must include the reason that you are requesting to return the item, your phone number, the order number, the item, and a valid email address. If the item is damaged, a photograph will work to your benefit.
- Gardecor, Inc. and it's supplier/manufacturer will determine who pays shipping and whether restocking fees apply. You will be notified where to return the item, which may not be the originator. Unless otherwise specified, the customer is responsible for actual shipping charges both ways.
- Gardecor, Inc. passes onto the customer the return policy of the supplier/manufacturer. That is, the customer will pay all costs associated with returns if the manufacturer charges restocking fees and won't pay shipping.
- Returns must be packaged in the original containers and must be in new, unused, and resellable condition. If the item was damaged during shipment to you, then a claim will be filed with the shipper. Gardecor, Inc. is not responsible for delayed, damaged, or lost shipments.
