Fairway Estate Garden Center and Fairway Estate Landscaping: where quality counts ince his teens Scott Meyer has loved the outdoors and beautifying his sur- roundings. He had his own landscaping busi- ness while in high school and knew that he wanted to take that experience to a new level when he graduated from college. So in 1991 he started Fairway Estate Landscaping. “I like building; I like taking something and making it better,” he says, and the landscaping busi- ness provided the perfect outlet for his cre- ativity and his love of nature. It was a natural progression, then, to open his own garden center next to what is without a doubt the most beautiful spot in town – the waterfalls adjacent to the historic Brownstone Mill. From now until Christmas the garden center is aglow with the color of the beautiful blooms of the season, mostly Jersey grown. “I try to find an interesting selection of high quality plants from responsible, quality growers,” says Meyer. “Quality plants need time to grow. Quality growers take the time to do it right and do not force plants by over- fertilizing,” he explains, noting that plants grown slowly are healthier and better able to withstand disease and insects. “We sell quality,” Meyer says. He adds that he also looks for growers that do not use and/or overuse pesticides, because it is better for the environment. At Fairway Estate Garden Center the staff is dedicated and knowledgeable about plants and how to use them to their best advantage. They can help create a beautiful, interesting Standing, from left: Patty Messner, Scott Meyer and Macho Picado. Seated: Megan Joaquin, Midge King and Heidi Meyer.

In addition to Proven Winner premium annuals and Blue Ribbon peren- nials, the garden center features container gardens and window boxes to create interest in any indoor or outdoor environment. Sea- sonal wreaths and garden gifts are available. The garden center also carries organic lawn products and mulch, and a propane filling station is on the premises. Fairway Estate Landscaping provides all aspects of landscape services, from property maintenance to complete design, including building, plantings, patios and stone work. The company’s horticultural professionals understand the needs of the plant material living on your property and employ the most culturally-sound maintenance practices to insure the health of your landscape. Their approach reduces the need for chemicals and pesticides, while producing a useful and attractive environment. “We focus on providing quality work, and our properties get better with time and consistently improve their appearance and value,” Meyer says.
