Newish to my town (Rye Brook), I did not know of any good fence/landscape contractors. I did what most would do, I hit google and looked up local fence contractors. My plan was to hire local, I'm big on that. My reason being local contractors should come with familiarity with the neighbourhood and town processes. Which in turn should allow for a rather efficient project, etc. I also believe in building up a good rapport with a local contractors, as being a home owner, the projects never end. As for the project at hand. I have a corner lot. My backyard, spills into my "side" yard. Space is great, but it is technically open to the street with only privacy trees serving as a border. I have a dog, young kids, we needed a fence desperately. Google churned up two local fence contractors in my immediate area (both in Portchester). The 1st company had a ton of reviews, and I've driven by their yard many times. I gave them a shot and it was a mistake. The guy told me everything I wanted to hear, but once he knew I wanted to do it the right way (legal w/ a permit), he proceeded to tell me how much of a pain my town was pretty much ghosted me. The 2nd local company showed up, surveyed, gave me good info, but then my neighbour started poking around asking questions and I guess it spooked him. He basically said "go get a permit," left, and I never heard back. At this point, I realized my town might be difficult (great), and I have a loser neighbour whom has nothing better to do with his life (apparently, he's called the building department on several people on my block; a story for another time). In the thick of COVID, desperate for a fence, I expanded my search and ended up calling companies in lower Westchester, even companies in upstate New York. I literally couldn't give my money away! Contractors were either so behind because of COVID, that they couldn't take on the new job, or again, wanted to dodge my towns processes. I ended up googling one last time and arrived on Adam Landscaping, LLC in Portchester. It may have been 4:30 on a Friday, but Dennis picked up the phone and was very empathetic to my situation. He ended up coming the next day to survey and go over the plan. He quoted me a fair price and, just like that we were underway. I hired Adam Landscaping to furnish and install the fence, transplant a few trees, and do some other light landscaping work. The only delay/wait we had to endure was material. Again, with COVID, suppliers were running a bit short, especially on pressure treated wood. Once the material came in, the job was completely done in 2 days. The crew was meticulous in their approach, double checked with me on design/preferences, and did not take shortcuts at all. They were nimble, and worked through small changes in the design in real time. They also went the extra mile removing old tree stumps in areas where you could fence around it. If you are looking for quality, reliable fence & landscaping work, hire Adam Landscaping in Port Chester. Trust me when I say, I've called other Portchester/Rye Brook fence contractors and you don't want to go that route. read more
