What It’s Really Like Working with Fairfield Landscaping (Step-by-Step Breakdown)
From first call to final walkthrough, we’re with you every step of the way.
If you’ve been searching for a reliable, professional landscape contractor in PA, you’ve probably seen a lot of bold claims. But at Fairfield Landscaping, we believe actions speak louder than taglines.
So, what’s it really like to work with us?
Whether you’re booking a one-time install or full-service landscape maintenance, we follow a clear, proven process designed to deliver quality, transparency, and results. Here's a step-by-step look at what you can expect when partnering with our team, from that first call to the final walkthrough.
Step 1: The Intro Call or Inquiry
Let’s talk goals, vision, and what brought you our way.
Your experience starts with a simple phone call or online inquiry. Whether you found us on Google or were referred by a neighbor, we’re excited to hear about your project.
What we’ll ask:
What kind of service are you looking for (residential or commercial)?
What’s the scope of the job (maintenance, install, tree removal, etc.)?
What’s your ideal timeline and budget range?
This isn’t a hard sell, it’s a conversation to get aligned and schedule your on-site consultation.
Step 2: On-Site Landscape Consultation
This is where ideas meet experience.
A member of our expert team (often the owner himself) will meet you on-site to walk through your property. We’ll assess the space, listen to your needs, and offer guidance rooted in over two decades of industry know-how.
For Pittsburgh and Western PA landscapes, we consider:
Drainage and elevation
Sun exposure and soil type
Seasonal needs and plant performance
Curb appeal and long-term value
Expect real advice, no fluff, and honest recommendations that work for your goals.
Step 3: Design + Estimate
We don’t cut corners… we cut clean edges.
After your consultation, we’ll draft a detailed estimate. For larger projects, this may include a visual design or layout plan. Every quote is clear and customized, no vague pricing, no surprise fees.
You’ll know:
The scope of work
Material breakdown (plants, hardscapes, lighting, etc.)
Estimated timeline
Payment structure and scheduling info
We aim for transparency so you feel confident every step of the way.
Step 4: Scheduling + Pre-Project Prep
We show up when we say we will, because your time matters.
Once approved, we get your project on the calendar. With our on-site nursery and in-house crews, we’re able to start faster than many other landscape contractors in PA.
Before work begins, we:
Coordinate material delivery
Secure permits (if needed)
Prep your property to minimize disruption
And we keep you informed the whole time.
Step 5: The Install or Service
Here’s where the magic happens.
Our crew arrives on time, fully equipped, and ready to get to work. Whether we’re installing a retaining wall, clearing trees, or refreshing flower beds, the job is done with care, precision, and respect for your property.
Our crews are:
✔️ Licensed + insured
✔️ Trained in safety and specialized equipment
✔️ Focused on clean job sites and strong finishes
And yes, our work speaks for itself.
Step 6: Final Walkthrough + Follow-Up
We don’t leave until the job is done right.
Once your project is complete, we walk the site with you to make sure every detail meets your expectations. If something needs a touch-up or tweak? We’ll handle it, no questions asked.
We’ll also leave you with care tips and seasonal advice (especially for new plants or sod). And if you ever need help down the road, we’re just a call away.
