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.

Newton, MA Jerry and…read morehis team replaced a retaining wall that had begun to lean into our driveway. From start to finish, Jerry displayed respect, enthusiasm, integrity, expert know-how & flexibility. It was importantly to me that this wall last beyond my lifetime and be beautiful. I wanted my adjacent neighbors to feel respected, heard and included in the planning and execution. During the planning process, Jerry sent me tons of pictures to help me decide which look and construction I wanted. He brought different stones that I could see and touch. He explained the deconstruction and reconstruction process in meticulous detail. The proposal and contract was clear and detailed. The price was fair and within our budget. The project was completed within the time frame. Jerry and his team delivered on all fronts! My family and my wonderful neighbors are happy with the new wall. It is truly beautiful. I love seeing the real stone. I will be happy every time I pull into the driveway.

StoneWall Landscapes were fantastic. We had poked at having our yard serviced about two years ago,…read moreand got scared off by contractors who didn't listen to what we wanted and provided estimates that were way beyond our budget (and way beyond what we told them we were looking for). Jerry was right on target, providing a couple of options that exactly fit what we wanted. The costs came out right where we wanted. Once the work got started, the crew was fast, polite, and efficient. They regraded our yard (which is on a hill) and installed the patio in about 3 days. Jerry has been in touch since then to give us advice about keeping the new grass healthy and some useful tips for do-it-yourself maintenance of everything. He even gave my neighbor Lenny (who is incredibly fastidious) tips for keeping his new grass going. Not too many people impress Lenny, but Jerry did. Highly, highly recommended. After dealing with a couple of contractors that didn't work out, StoneWall was an absolute delight.

Curbs is an incredibly professional and high quality business…read more Lucas, Rong, Nilton, and Garrett run an excellent outfit. They personalize service, provide high quality design work, are thoughtful with planning and fit with client style, esthetics, and desires along with consideration of background and setting. I had them provide estimates on a stone patio, custom outdoor kitchen, and some softscape work, and their designs were outstanding. We were able to meet in their studio, go through thoughts, and the plans went through some (minor) revisions over time. They stayed in touch with emails and calls frequently, and their timeline to get started was on time despite some supply chain issues (e.g., were not overcommitted and did not overpromise). The finished product was awesome. My friends and family are so impressed, and it's brought be significant satisfaction. The workers were always considerate, on time, treated my house and property with care, and open to feedback. Their subcontractors, which were few as many were in-house, were excellent, too. I'm surprised how well things went given my experience with construction and renovations in other avenues. When there was some material that was billed as something that would be soft on the feet but wasn't too our liking, they replaced it at their own cost. Their price point is very reasonable for the lux services they provide, as the other Boston Top 10 Landscape Architect and Construction organizations I got quotes from were much more expensive and weren't even as reasonable and attentive! They were able to hold to the original price point fairly closely, with a few increases due to some extra asks on our part, and suggestions for changes that felt to be better design along the way. There was very few to no surprises. I can't recommend them highly enough.

It's changed the way we use our outdoor space -- we've been spending so much more time outside! From start to finish, Lucas, Nilton, Roong, and the entire excellent crew were enthusiastic, communicative, responsive, and innovative in their thinking and design; they worked cleanly and efficiently. Not a single question we asked along the way went unanswered, whether by email or text. Their use of sustainable, durable materials was a huge plus for us. And they somehow prepped the project and placed orders to navigate the mid-2022 supply chain disruptions and deliver the project on time and within budget, even accounting for a couple of pivots during the process. Honestly one of the best things to happen to our family and our home - just blown away - we would recommend Curbs without reservation.

His estimate was reasonable and much lower than several other companies. My hedges and yard were neglected and out of control with poison ivy growing throughout. I had a large area of my yard behind my garage like a jungle. The crew removed a long row of hedges, weeds, poison ivy, brush and debris and cleaned all up in one day! I am so happy to have a huge area of my yard back for my dogs to run around in and the front of my house is better looking without overgrown hedges. I plan to have them return in the spring to reseed my lawn and maybe maintain it throughout the summer. I thank Tony and his crew and highly recommend them!

We have seen their previous project at the Old Oak Dojo and really liked the idea of a functional landscape that meet aesthetic purpose, yield edibles as well as fitting in the native eco system. Noah is very knowledgeable of different plants and flowers so conversation with him has always been very educational for us amateur gardeners. He has also been very accommodating from the consultation. He listened to our needs and concerns before coming up with a customized plan that fits our property and budget. The project includes a low dry-stack retaining wall, plants that would help stabilizing the soils since we live on a hill, perennial flowers/plants that support each other and blooms at different time, and irrigation etc. The installation was under a short deadline so that we can have our wish of throwing a post-wedding party in our yard. Noah, Cheryl, and Karen moved very efficiently and accomplished the project before the deadline and within budget. The project also includes post-installation maintenance as the first year is crucial for the garden to survive. We are very happy to find Restoring Roots and will definitely consider using them for future projects.

We bought a condo in the Woodburne neigborhood of Jamaica Plain a year ago. One of our first…read morepriorties after we moved in was to deal with the backyard landscape, which consisted of some scraggly grass patches and a few hostas. There wasn't a lot of space to work with but I was sure that a little patio would fit between the house and the garage. I started contacting landscape design and build firms in March 2015. Most larger firms were already booked for spring, and when a couple of firms came out in June, they indicated that our job was too small for them to consider. Our realtor recommended Restoring Roots. From the first visit Karen was enthusiastic about the possibilities for our little space. She listened to our concerns and needs--one of the biggest concerns being that as new home owners facing a lot of projects, we wanted to consider a design plan that we could implement in stages. Karen came back to us with a detailed and comprehensive plan for our little space. After multiple negotiations with our condo association, we decided to move ahead with the patio construction in the fall and put the planting and construction of a sitting wall on hold until Spring. The bluestone patio was completed right before Thanksgiving. We are very impressed with the quality of the work and we think the patio looks great! We hope to have Restoring Roots back in the Spring for the next phase of the project.
