SPONSORED CONTENT BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT Oxford Landscaping SPONSORED CONTENT All You Have to Do is ENJOY F or nearly 30 years, Oxford Landscaping has been transforming backyards into neighborhood centerpieces for customers. That success comes from owner John Swentosky’s dedication to the customers he serves, leaving nothing for them to do other than enjoy the new landscaping, hardscaping or outdoor patios or kitchens he and his crews have built for them. “A lot of times, contractors will leave a property at the end of a job and it’s not finished,” Swentosky said. “Then they have to call us to bring in mulch or reseed the property. We do all of that on every job and we do everything in-house, so our customers are never waiting on subcontractors for work.” Oxford Landscaping takes care of every last detail. Design and construction is a dedicated part of the business, with full-time crews doing nothing but outdoor patios, kitchens, bars, retaining walls and installing driveways and whatever else a homeowner can dream up. “I really enjoy the outdoor areas and still run the field and 42 724.942.0940 TO ADVERTISE design portion of the business. I’m still out there in the field every day after 30 years, and seeing your ideas rise out of the ground in front of your eyes is as rewarding today as it was when I first started,” Swentosky said. “But we go a step further and make sure that every job we leave is left spotless. All of our work is guaranteed. And that guarantee is something I don’t worry about because if a tree or shrub dies, it’s just good business to replace it for your customer. I budget for replacements because things do die, but it pays for itself.” In addition to design and construction crews, Oxford Landscaping also has dedicated mulch and clearing crews and mowing crews. As a family business—with John’s wife, Kristen, working the office ❘ icmags.com side—Oxford Landscaping may have everything to undertake your largest job, but you’re still going to get a smile and a handshake at the end of the day. Another thing customers appreciate about Oxford is the fact that all contracts are specific and in writing. Homeowners know exactly what they’re getting and how much it will cost up-front, so their projects or annual maintenance work is completed on time and on budget without surprises. And, after 30 years in the community, Oxford Landscaping has been a good neighbor as well by volunteering for local Mt. Lebanon causes, donating hardscapes and labor, and by supporting the Mt. Lebanon School District throughout the years. While a staple of the South Hills, the company also serves the North Hills and has even done custom jobs out of state for customers who wouldn’t trust the work to anyone else.
