Please don't confuse Village Landscaping with Village Palms. Village Palms on 466 is very reliable. It just concerns me that the names are so alike.

We had recently seen their booth down at Sumter landing and were advised to visit their web site, which we did. I called to set up an appointment for them to visit our 'patio' villa and the response that I got was they do one patio villa for every fifty courtyard villas. I take it that it was the owner, Mike, that I was talking too. He wanted me to take some pictures of our place and come over to see him. I got the distinct impression that he was less than interested in us. That said, we approached Villages Palms and the young lady we talked to was excellent and she had set up an appointment to have a gentleman come out and see us which he did. The short story is that he called the morning of the afternoon appointment to discuss details and cancel as he was too busy as someone had set up too many appointments. OK, fine. So we set up another appointment to meet him, got there early and waited a half hour past the set time and we left. Apparently, these two businesses are so besieged with appointments that they cannot take time for people that own anything less than a new Designer or Premier.

I have never met anyone from " Mansfield Landscaping " but looking at the comments here I have come to the conclusion that something is wrong.

So being a curious person " Mansfield's " Claim that they are the #1 Choice of the Villages....I say let's see the Proof or Results that they are in fact the #1 Landscaping Company here in the Villages. It's SHOWTIME .... Mansfield

Here's a thought:

Wouldn't it be interesting if every landscaper that did work in the Villages,
claimed that they were #1 when they advertised elsewhere,
and on this site if they were advertisers?
.
Yes. That would be interesting!

Default Hi all!

I'm here.... I will be happy to give my review of Mansfield Landscaping. We hired Mansfield Landscaping two years ago to do our landscaping, front and back after seeing what they did for our neighbors home. Steve came to our home and explained everything to us about walls, rocks, mulch plants etc. We decided to contract him to do our work. It's been two years and we are still ecstatic with the work he did. Two years later, we get lots of compliments. People drive by our home and ask us about who did the work.

We have had no trouble with Steve and neither has anyone else we know who has hired him.

Here is a picture of our home two years later.

As you know... I've been off of here for awhile... I think I will go back to my life... It's a beautiful day... don't you think?

The Villages Florida

Here is a picture of a home that the owner felt he could do a better job than the landscapers in The Villages.

The Villages Florida

I know some people like the landscaping The Villages does, so I'm posting a picture of that as well....

Everyone has their own likes and dislikes... I prefer Mansfield Landscaping. Nothing wrong with any of the other jobs. Just my preference.

I don't get it... If you don't like Mansfield, go elsewhere, obviously you have. But can't we get off this topic once and for all??????

I'm beginning to think that TOTV is nothing but a BIT** forum where nothing pleasant is talked about, only non pleasant BS... Personally, I'm getting sick of it.

I posted a few weeks back, something about one of our very own TOTV'ers having a son in the olympics... how nice.... guess what, not one of you commented on it. Why? Because it was something nice and not something to gripe about??? Beginning to think the Topix forum is the better forum to be on.

Get over it people,,, stop griping and enjoy yourselves. You could be dead!!!

Was considering Mansfield but, with so many negative comments about arrogance and basically it's my way or nothing.....well, our money can be spent with another landscaper. Will not even consider calling Mansfield!

Angie had the time to go around and take photos of other people's landscaping for whatever the reason. The photos indicate landscaping that was pretty much done by the builder. Some people don't have the money to change what was put in and with others, it may not be something that is important to them.

Yes Angie's landscaping is neat and tidy. Driving by you would know that Mansfield did it.
