About this CompanySpecialties
Landscape supply company specializing in wrought iron fencing and gates, gazebos, arbors, and other garden structures. We also carry a full line of cast iron and cast aluminum flower planters & urns. Shipping to U.S. and Canada daily. We fabricate custom iron gates to any size for driveways and to match our wrought iron fence products.
History
Established in 1999.
Susan Ingram started finishing antiques for friends and family, and she eventually got so many requests she found herself in business.
By 1999, A Rustic Garden, Ltd. offered rustic garden items online in its first web store. Today, our home & garden landscaping products include wrought iron fence, hand-made at our Middle Illinois location. This wrought iron fence looks like antique fencing, yet it's easily installed by the homeowner or landscape architect.
Current product lines also include wrought iron plant stands, cast iron flower planters, cast aluminum planters and fountains, cast iron statues and wrought iron decor.
Pretty much, any product needed to accent homeowners' interior or garden decors, you'll find from us; plus, we'll personalize the item with an antique, vintage, shabby chic or satin finish.

I bought 2 of these cute fat obelisks for my front porch. Can't wait for Spring so I can put them to use. They are well made and exactly as pictured.

I really love this obelisk, perfect for protecting my new David Austin rose from being trampled by the dogs. I sprayed painted mine black, it took the paint very well.

Very easy purchase and quick shipping.

Topiaries arrived well packaged with no damage! They look great in the pots -- nice addition to the garden. A little pricey -- but overall i'm happy!

I returned the two topiaries. They were too big. I was disappointed I had to pay shipping to send them back. The shipping cost was always as much as the two topiaries. Therefore, I won't be ordering from this company again.

The items were as advertised. It took a very long time to receive items (over three weeks). The topiaries were too big for my containers. I read the return policy and it said customer pays return shipping costs. This cost almost equaled the cost of the two topiaries. I did return them because it was better to receive a small amount of a refund than nothing at all (if I had kept them). I won't be buying from this website.

I love my topiary. It’s a great size, well constructed, & a beautiful asset to my urn & garden. I highly recommend.

The only site where I could find what I was looking for. Great products, had a hard time deciding on which one I needed for my project.
Wendy G - 04/19/2020
Very good. Came out a little more gothic looking,than l would like.
04/19/2020
Everything is good. I personally had trouble working with the site because I had to go back and forth comparing looks and sizes.It was easy to loose track. I finally realized that Fat Charlie was only one size! It would be great to have a comparison page.I did call and that helped me make my decision, on what was best to order.

Easy company to order from. Delivery time is excellent. Product is exactly what we wanted. Thank-you.

Very Easy to order. Thanks.

The piece itself was well made and looked exactly as presented in the picture. What I found to be disappointing was the paint job. I had asked for a black finish and paid the extra fee for it, but I had to paint it again myself because the rust colour showed in many areas where the paint was missing.

Great selection, found just what I wanted. That being said, shipping cost make you wonder if you really want this item that bad! Guess I do!

I absolutely love the Fat Charlie! I am also located in Illinois, but I could not believe how quickly I received it. It is exactly as pictured and the customer service people were very responsive and cheerful when I called for some additional detail before ordering. If you order the rust - without coating - it is rusty. A bit more than I anticipated, but it looks great.

I called this morning to ask a question about the product and the woman I spoke with was one of the most pleasant and helpful people I have spoken with at a customer service number in quite a long time
Why Trust Verified Reviews?
Verified Reviews are real, authentic reviews collected from actual paying customers, using Shopper Approved's Verified Review Platform. When reviews are Verified by Shopper Approved, you know that you can trust them to make better buying decisions.
Unverified Reviews on the other hand, are reviews collected by Open Review platforms that allow anyone to leave a review, without any validation or proof of purchase. Unfortunately, most reviews you read online are Unverified Reviews, and can't be trusted.
As a consumer, here's how you can tell the difference:
Verified Reviews from Verified Review Platforms like Shopper Approved, have much higher review counts and higher overall Star ratings, because they attempt to collect reviews from every single paying customer.
Unverified Reviews from Open Review Platforms, tend to have much lower review counts and more negative Star ratings, because people with bad experiences are primarily those who leave reviews. This often creates a misleading, inaccurate portrayal of a companies true reputation.
So, when searching for Verified Reviews, look for the name you know you can trust. Shopper Approved.
