I would recommend Pesky Pete to anyone who needs to have poison ivy removed from their property…read more He is very responsive, competitively priced, and generally a great guy! He's done removal for twice at 2 different properties. He guarantees removal, with free "check-ups" to ensure that all the poison ivy has been removed which is great. Pete just recently came and did a removal for me. Now I don't have to worry about my kids running around outside playing or getting into the woods behind our house and getting poison ivy. If i could give him more than 5 stars I would.

My neighbors had hired Pete for their area the previous year, and out of desperation, I hired Pete last summer. As a result, I have not experienced poison ivy in over a year (including last summer). Hiring Pete has been the best investment I ever made. In addition, Pete continues to stop by and check to ensure the area is poison ivy-free. Pete offers an excellent service and is a wonderful person as well.

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.

End of June Sydney let us know they were delayed one week, due to the weather, and they would start second week in July. Perfectly understandable. Second week in July, when the work was scheduled, she wrote to say David was backing out of his commitment altogether, due to being "overwhelmed with catching up on pre-scheduled projects and ongoing maintenance accounts." Very disappointing and unprofessional. At this point, it will be difficult for us to find a gardener who is not already fully booked.
