Who We Are

Who We Are

Our company was founded in 1982 by Steve Mansfield, who is still the owner/operator. It was initially named A-1 Landscaping of Orlando, Inc. Steve Mansfield is from Central Illinois where he grew up in 5 boy's homes and 17 foster homes. He moved to Orlando in 1980 and after a couple of years of sleeping in and out of his car as well as flophouses, and working in labor pools for $25.00 per day, he realized he needed to develop a plan for a better life. Steve took his $54.00 and a loan from a friend of $600.00 and turned it into a multi-million per year business. He never forgets where he came from and has donated more than 1 million dollars to places he's lived in as well as local boy's homes in Orlando such as Edgewood Children's Ranch.

From 1982-2000 we worked mainly in the Orlando area grossing 2 million per year doing landscaping, sodding, and irrigation. From 2000-2007 we did all the sod, irrigation, grating, and landscaping on new homes as well as existing homes at the Plantation of Leesburg. The project built out in December of 2006, and we stayed until the completion. When we first started with this project, there were four landscapers until three months later, when they narrowed it down to just us. We did 1,700 homes, 5 model homes, and two clubhouses.

In 2006, we changed our name to Mansfield Landscaping LLC., from A-1 Landscaping of Orlando, Inc. In 2007 we started doing aftermarket landscaping in The Villages® community, Florida as well as the rest of Central Florida. For the ten years that we have been in The Villages® community, we have worked for over 4,000 customers. We created a world-class nursery and outdoor showroom and estimate that even though we have a hundred competitors in The Villages® community alone that we do 1 out of every five aftermarket jobs.

Our philosophy is simple; keep our word, do what we say, and do whatever it takes to make the customer happy. That's why there's never a deposit required. If you are not satisfied, we will do what it takes to make you happy. Estimates never take more than 1-2 days, and jobs never take more than 3-10 days.

Helpful Hints

  1. When getting other quotes: have specific amounts and types of product, amount of sod, footage of curbing, etc.
  2. Never give a deposit; we do not ask for one.
  3. Ask if you are not happy with the job if they guarantee it or will remove everything at no cost to you.
  4. Ask if they bring three (3) times the quantity and three (3) times the type of plants you need to let you choose others if you are not satisfied with your initial selections.
  5. Ask if they will plant all the big stuff and place small plants in buckets to allow you to re-arrange them until you are happy.
  6. Ask if they have a web site, a portfolio of all jobs completed, and a brochure depicting the plants that may be used on your property.
  7. Ask if they will drive you around to jobs they have done so you can see their prior work.
  8. Ask if their irrigation tech comes by after every job to adjust your irrigation, re-set your timers, and make sure everything gets 100 percent coverage. By law, all new landscaping is allowed to be watered for 30 days, from 4 pm until 10 am.
  9. Ask if they furnish frost blankets for all cold-sensitive plants if necessary.
  10. Ask if they will come to your home within 48 hours if you need service. Do they guarantee all work will start within 3-4 days?
  11. 9 out of 10 landscapers do not have Workmans Comp or have General Liability coverage. Ask to see our certificates.

This company came very highly recommended and did not disappoint! Awesome job in building stone garden walls and totally redoing the entire lawn. The owner explained everything and is probably the most honest guy I’ve dealt with in years. Responsive and got the job done on schedule. Fixed my sprinkler too. Great work!

We'd had other quotes and then had Steve come out. We told him what we wanted and then he went to work, looking and talking and thinking. He's old school, so you won't get a pretty computer printout. We liked his ideas-some we'd never thought of-and hired him on the spot. Nothing down, no payment until we were satisfied, and we were! He talks fast and gets to the point. I can see how some might think him rude, but I didn't. Just old school and to the point. Great work and I believe he will stand by it.

Steve was great to work with. Yes, his approach to business is somewhat unusual, but his quote was excellent, and the work was excellent. We worked on the landscaping collaboratively. His subcontractors were very good. The job was done in a very timely manner. He assisted us in getting some landscape decorations for a discount, which was very appreciated.

Steve came out to talk us about our project. He listened, made suggestions, and told us he could complete the project in 2-3 days. He had his crew at our home 2 weeks later, and they indeed finished everything in 2 days. It turned out perfect and he did everything and more than he promised. We would not be afraid to recommend Mansfield Landscaping to anyone!

Couldn't be more happy with our landscaping. The owner (Steve) and his crew are very responsive and courteous. For me the factor that swayed me to go with Mansfield's was that they don't take any money from you up front. No payment is expected until the job is complete and you are 100% satisfied. I've experienced less scrupulous landscapers who don't show up when they say they are, want 50% up front and forget about you once the job is complete. You won't experience this with Mansfield's they don't just finish a job and forget about you. If you have an issue you can expect a prompt response to address it. It's nice to see how a professional landscaper operates after our previous experience. Thank you Steve and Armando for the excellent work and your professionalism. Regards, Rick Sprague
