Who We Are & How We Approach Landscaping
A 35+ year design-build company focused on complete outdoor transformations, not small jobs or maintenance work.
Mansfield Landscaping is a design-build landscape company with over 35 years of experience serving Central Florida.
We specialize in complete outdoor transformations — including hardscapes, plant installations, and full landscape redesigns — rather than small one-off projects or routine maintenance work.
Our approach is straightforward:
We focus on doing fewer projects, but doing them the right way.
That means taking the time to understand your property, your goals, and how you plan to use your space — then designing a landscape that not only looks great, but functions properly long-term.
Most of our work comes from referrals, repeat customers, and homeowners who have taken the time to research us thoroughly before reaching out.
We are not a retail nursery, and we do not operate as a lawn service.
Instead, we work with homeowners who are looking for a professional, guided process and a finished result that adds long-term value to their property.
Helpful Hints Before Starting Your Landscape Project
Helpful Hints Before Starting Your Landscape Project
Key things to understand before your project begins, so you avoid surprises and get the best results from your investment.
Before starting a landscape project, there are a few important things that can help you make better decisions and avoid unnecessary costs.
Understanding Cost Drivers
In most landscape projects, the largest costs are not small plants or mulch.
They come from elements like:
Rock and base materials
Edging
Privacy screening
Larger plants and trees
Irrigation adjustments
Hardscape features such as patios, pavers, and retaining walls
These are the components that define both the function and longevity of your landscape.
Plant Selection & Maintenance
Plant choices have a direct impact on long-term maintenance.
More colorful, high-variation plants typically require more upkeep to maintain their appearance.
Simpler plant selections tend to be easier to care for and more consistent over time.
If your goal is a lower-maintenance landscape, the key is not to overcrowd planting areas.
Too many plants create more opportunities for weeds to develop, especially around edges and between barriers.
Rock vs. Mulch
Rock can be a great long-term solution when used correctly.
However, it requires:
Proper installation
Weed barrier
Controlled plant spacing
Without those, maintenance can actually increase rather than decrease.
Mulch, on the other hand, is lower upfront cost but requires periodic refreshing.
The right choice depends on your goals, budget, and desired level of maintenance.
Existing Materials
If your property currently has rock or other materials installed, it may need to be removed before new work begins.
This is often one of the more overlooked — and more expensive — parts of a project.
Planning for this early helps avoid surprises during the estimate process.
Setting Expectations
Most homeowners don’t think about these details until they become an issue.
Our goal is to walk through them with you upfront, so you understand how everything works before the project begins.
That way, when we meet for your estimate, the conversation is focused, efficient, and aligned with your goals.
