Landscaping reviews in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

From start to finish the 2 gentlemen who built my retaining wall were awesome. They were very pleasant, very professional, and very hardworking individuals. They arrived on time and put in a good day's work. Each day they left my place looking neat and clean. In addition, I'd like to recognize others who worked on the project. The foreman was also very professional. He answered my questions and kept me abreast of the progress. There were also some helpers that arrived throughout the project who worked equally hard. The next step of the project was always ready to go. There was never any down time. I might add that the clean trucks were very impressive, too! I would not hesitate to recommend Steel City Landscape to anyone looking to do a retaining wall.  BTW, I LOVE my new wall!!

My recently purchased home had a nice retaining wall installed by Steel City, so I contracted them to also install a driveway drainage system. I was impressed by the crew's timeliness and friendliness but most of all by their work ethic and attention to detail throughout the project. I am very happy with the work and highly recommend Steel City Landscapes.

If it was possible, I would give them higher than a five-star rating. Our overall experience with Steel City Landscaping was extremely professional and easy. The management team clearly communicated costs through a detailed quote and discussed potential roadblocks to the completion of the project both prior and during the project. Furthermore, the time estimates for completion were very accurate, even though they had to go the extra mile (actually a number of extra miles) to make sure the project was completed to their high standards.

In addition to the excellent management team, the crew that executed the work was highly skilled, efficient, and had a fantastic attention to detail. The crew was very friendly and answered our questions with a positive attitude. As part of answering our questions they would explain how our concerns would be addressed with their next steps or why a certain approach was required to obtain the best results for the project. Their attention to detail, on both the retaining well and hill landscaping, couldn’t be overstated.

The process of working with Steel City Landscaping was easy and the end result of the project is everything we could have hoped for when we started. We will definitely consider Steel City Landscaping for future work to our home.

Steel City landscape built a large patio to the front of our house with brick pavers. The work was high quality and exceeded our expectations. After installation they redid the landscaping of our front slope where they had to get some heavy machines through. The owner took all our questions and was great to work with and the cost was very reasonable. I highly recommend!

We had a great experience with Steel City Landscape. We are thrilled with our new front yard! Professional and courteous!

Jordan is so easy to work with. He’s quick to respond throughout the process. He came to the house and gave us excellent recommendations - we were able to maintain much of an existing retaining wall and walkway but enhance both to look new. The Steel City Landscaping team is friendly and reliable. We love the results, get compliments from neighbors, and will continue to work with Jordan.

If we had the option I would give a score of 2.5 overall as our overall experience was a mix of good and not so good. We hired Steel City Landscaping in the Fall of 2022 to redo our entire front landscaping and to continue to maintain it. They came out and did the work which turned out nice. The design was nice (not perfect) but overall it turned out nice. The guys were able to do the work in one full day. They then came out and touched up some things this spring for us with new mulch and trimming. However when we contacted the Jordan, the owner of the company, to come out this fall to for normal maintenance for the plants and trimming he informed me that they won't come out for jobs less than $2000. He told me via text message to find someone else for that type of work which left us holding the bag finding someone else.

When we originally contacted Steel City Landscaping we told them that we were looking for a company not only the initial work but to maintain it as well after the initial install and now they completely changed their story. Since then we contacted several other landscape companies and nobody seems interested in working on someone else's work. Follow up texts to the owner (Jordan) went unanswered which is very disappointing. We would have not gone with Steel City Landscaping had we known they would not maintain it and we feel that the owner withheld this from us intentionally to get the job. We never leave these type of reviews especially on Google but I wanted to share our experiences so that another potential customer doesn't find themselves in the same situation.

I started using Steel City last year for landscape work. New lawn and fall cleanup. Jordan was easy to work with and yard looked great. This is my first year for the complete lawn service. Fantastic work from all of the crews. Rob, Enrique and Carlos completed mulch and yard work in extreme heat. I would definitely recommend them.

Absolutely cannot recommend Jordan and Steel City Landscaping enough! I’ve used them for multiple projects (including a full lawn installation) for the last few years and all have been executed extremely well and my landscaping is honestly fantastic. Jordan is consultative and responsive, happy to come up with ideas and offer suggestions. He’s also always on-site at some point (or multiple points) during each project. Carol in the office is responsive and communicative and very easy to work with. The crew is neat, efficient, and meticulous with their work.

Steel city landscaping did a fantastic job. I could not be happier. Very professional workers and did everything in one day. Reasonably priced and was up front about everything with no surprises. They did a great job and I would highly recommend them to anyone.

Jordan and his entire team were professional and did exceptional work. We had new construction and our back yard wasn't in a great state. The soil wasn't great quality, the grass wasn't coming in, and it was not well graded. Our yard was pocketed and muddy.

We had a large plan to re-grade, add a deck and fence, and some large planting beds. Steel city was very flexible and got us in early to do the grading portion before the deck/fence went in and was able to come by later in the year to do the plantings.

Every part of the result is excellent. Our yard is much more usable, and the beds they added are beautiful. Several times I have been in our back yard and had people walking by comment on how great it looks and ask who did it. We will definitely be using them for future work and recommending them to any who needs landscaping work.

10/3 followup: By the end of the summer, a few of the arborvitae they planted had died. It was a brutal summer with record highs and almost no rain, so no surprise there. Steel City replaced them for free and somehow managed to do so without harming any of the many flowers and other plantings surrounding them. We also had them come and do aeration/overseeding/topdressing for our front yard (which was pretty barren). Just a week and a half later, it is absolutely lush.

Can't say enough great things about the work Steel City Landscaping and their work they just completed at my house. The crew was very nice, professional, and fast! I was more than impressed with the work, thank you!

We have been using Steel City Landscape, Inc. for several years now for our normal lawn maintenance, but have also engaged them in several other projects as well that have left us extremely happy with their work. Most recently, we embarked on a project that we knew was going to be challenging and a bit out of their comfort zone, but what an incredible outcome! Shaun and his crew were on top of everything, included my desires and wants in the project, and allowed me to help drive on the spot decisions that were necessary due to constraints that we had during the build.

We are very proud to share this project with the Google community and highly encourage anyone to call them to create an outside space for pure enjoyment!

I love how some of the staff are knowledgeable about the care of so many foliages. Most of the crew are extremely efficient and Roman always goes the extra mile to put quality into his work. My yard looks great and I don't have to worry about a thing.

It certainly wasnt manicured ! Well, it was cured, by man, it looked like a cornfield after harvesting, that area under the big wheel at Station Square Pittsburgh. It looks like they took a lawn mower and just ran over the tops till they ended up 2 inches tall. Thnks.

We could not be happier with the job Steel City did for us. First Jordan was very responsive and bid the job quickly and came when they said they would. Then Mike, Martine and the crew came and went above and beyond. The retaining wall turned out fantastic. Thanks guys!

Steel City Landscape is amazing. Complete transformation for our backyard. Hard workers and they listened to all of our concerns and went above and beyond to make sure we were satisfied. Do not hesitate to use them. Money well spent.

We recently decided to revamp our yard and retaining wall because Ryan Homes did an extremely sub par job.

I would highly recommend Steel City. Jordan, Josh, Martin, and the crew were fantastic to work with from beginning to end. The crew did an exceptional job; very efficient, fast, professional, hard working, and very friendly. We were very impressed with their attention to detail and also with keeping a clean and organized work site while they were here. Look no further if you need any type of landscaping or hardscaping work done.

UPDATE- After reading my poor review I was contacted by one of Steel City's friendly employees - they explained the situation - the (former) employee who provided the initial estimate did not submit the work order. To make it up, Steel City gave us a 10% discount - the work was completed quickly and looks AMAZING. They followed up after installation for any questions and to see how we liked the work. Thanks for making things right. Photos below -

OLD REVIEW: Signed a $5105 contract last May (2018). Said they'd call back when the schedule opened up in September and never heard from them again.

I hired Steel City Landscaping last fall to restore my backyard as a result of a backhoe digging up the yard to repair a water line. They arranged to come out this spring to start the process. The restoration required that the filled ground and rocks be leveled off. Then apply topsoil, seed, fertilizer, and coat with mushroom manure.

They came out on time as scheduled and were both knowledgeable and extremely helpful with all my concerns.

The workers on site went above and beyond to not only restore the areas hard hit by the backhoe but also leveled off the majority of the yard so that when the grass grew in, it would appear even.

They took their time to do the work and thoroughly cleaned up everywhere so that there would be no trace of any materials used. They also gave me instructions as to properly care for my new lawn and when to expect new grass to start growing.

I was extremely pleased with my installation and plan to use them for all my future landscaping projects.

They were amazing! They transformed our overgrown front yard into a beautiful space.
They worked with us to figure out the best solution to replace the falling retaining wall in our front and redid the landscaping. The staff was professional and courteous, they left everything neat at the end of the day. Jordan started and completed the project quickly. I highly recommend this company!
