My yard was out of control, and Jennifer and her team just breathed new life into it! They pruned back all my crazy trumpet vines and hydrangea trees, and they thinned out my walkway gardens, moving plants around where they'd thrive.

She's easy to work with, very communicative, and is a highly skilled gardener and designer. Her team also does maintainence for you and can even supervise traditional landscaping crews.

I would not do business with this company again…read more We hired one of their landscape designers to create a redesign for our front yard and paid a substantial fee for the design. Our contract specifically stated that we were not required to hire the company to perform the installation work and that the designer would revise the design based on our feedback. The designer visited the property, evaluated the site, and later scheduled a Zoom meeting to present the design. During the meeting, the company owner joined the call. After the designer finished presenting the plan, I started to provide my first piece of feedback but the owner cut me off before I could finish and stated that the design phase was complete and that I would need to hire the company to perform the installation if I wanted any changes made. The interaction was unexpected and inconsistent with my understanding of the contract. The designer appeared uncomfortable, and I found the owner's tone rude, unfriendly, and intimidating. What should have been a collaborative discussion about minor revisions became an unpleasant experience.

We first became aware of The Narrow Lane through a cold call when we were looking for a landscaper…read morefor our front yard back in the fall of 2024. We contacted a number of companies and it was The Narrow Lane and Jeremy that we seemed to connect with. A couple of months later, right after Thanksgiving, we were the proud owners of a beautifully landscaped yard. I will admit that I was dubious about putting in all those mature plantings at that time of the year but Jeremy assured us that they would be fine and he was right--we had an amazing Spring of blooms and the excitement of experiencing new plants appearing in the yard. The quality of work and attention to detail caused us to go back to The Narrow Lane again last Spring to do a total renovation and redesign of our back yard. While we were impressed by the quality of work and attentiveness to detail that we experienced with the first project we were absolutely blown away with what Jeremy, Matt, and The Narrow Lane were able to deliver for the backyard. It is truly a work of art and we are so happy that not only did we re-engage with The Narrow Lane for this project but that we gave them complete control over the design and implementation. Neighbors now stop by to explore the yard and we are known in the area as "that house with the amazing landscaping". Based on these landscaping experiences over the past year we have now also contracted with The Narrow Lane to maintain the gardens and yard during the growing season as well as to provide us with snowplowing and shoveling in the winter. I will admit that they are not inexpensive to work with but the prices are totally justified by the quality of work, the care and attention that they have brought to everything that they do, and their continuing care that they bring to our property. We have found everyone from the company that we have engaged with to be consummate professionals that bring a new level of care and respect to the properties they take on as projects. If you are looking for an exciting and complete re-imagination of your property and then professionals to maintain it throughout the year you can't do better than The Narrow Lane.

Christie Dustman and Company helped with the design of a friends garden and did an incredible job…read more I was so impressed that I hired her to consult with me for my established garden that has been written up in 8 magazines. I gave her my thoughts and right away she came back with some suggestions that made total sense to me. I got right to work implementing her suggestions and I'm completely happy with the new design features. Christie is super easy to work with, listened to what I wanted to achieve, and delivered wonderful suggestions. I'm very lucky to have had her help and now my gardening friends all use her.

The initial one-hour consultation was fabulous…read more- we brainstormed various ideas and then I was provided with a sketch showing proposed planting areas with specific plants/tree types. The idea of building a 2-section funky fence near my patio served two purposes, one to screen my patio area from my neighbor's backyard, and the other to save me money from having a higher, longer fence along the property line separating me from my neighbor. I also loved the concept of adding some bluestone stepping stones into the existing patio (made of pavers) and extending the stepping stones into the yard to lead someone from the patio into the backyard. The trees, shrubs, and plants continue to thrive years later. The variety of textures and shapes is lovely.

Williams Landscaping has been cutting our grass and doing spring and fall cleanup for several…read moreyears.  They have done a pretty good job- not stellar but no major complaints. Recently, I came home after they cut our lawn and found they had cut down the plants in 3 areas of my garden.  While there were weeds in 2 of these areas, there were also perennials I had planted. These are areas under maple trees, so it is extremely difficult to get things to grow, and this year was the first one where some of the plants had finally started to flourish. Williams Landscaping has never done anything other than cut our lawn and clean up leaves. They were not asked to address these areas, two of which were clearly marked with stone borders as garden areas and had irrigation tubing in place. This happened about 5 weeks before we were planning to have a wedding in our backyard.  The areas that were cut down looked awful, and the crew didn't even clear out what they had cut down - so not only was it bare instead of lush, but the beds and  paths were covered with slowly dying plants. While this was frustrating and upsetting, I recognize someone made an unintended mistake. It's the way the owner responded to this that is the reason for this review. When I told William Perez what had happened, he didn't apologize or express any concern whatsoever. He ignored completely that I was upset about how our yard would look for the wedding.  He didn't ask what he could do to make things right or make sure the backyard would look okay for our wedding. He did tell me more than once that he was a busy man.  What he conveyed was not regret for the inconvenience caused but annoyance that I was bothering him.   I told him I would buy some plants to replace some of what was cut down (he didn't offer to do this for me).  He eventually said he would pay for them, but it's now a month since I sent him the receipt and I've yet to get a check or any response regarding his intention. He eventually sent someone over to do the planting for me, but he scheduled this entirely at his convenience and he refused to give me any idea when during the planned day they would show up. The crew showed up after 5pm, after I had waited at home the entire day.  I will say that the man he sent over was very nice, polite and did a great job. I have no complaints about that - just about the owner. So now, with our wedding a few days away, we have a handful of plants in place.  It looks reasonably good. I bought the plants.  I cleaned out and mulched the beds after the gentleman who was sent over planted them.  Mr. Perez has not honored his promise to reimburse me for the plants.  And he has never apologized or expressed any regret. He doesn't respond to messages.  It's hard to understand how someone running their own business in a service profession feels no need to even pretend he cares about his customers. Honestly, I've never dealt with anyone in a similar circumstance who behaved this way.  It would have taken very little on his part to make this experience completely different and have me recommending his business in spite of the error. While Williams landscaping is okay for basic yard care I would never use them for anything else - certainly not for masonry, landscaping or anything substantial.  The owner's attitude is pretty much "take it or leave it", and don't bother me because I'm a busy man.
