We absolutely love it! Finished in the same day and cleaned up everything spotless. Price was great and Chris was such a gentleman to work with.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Chris is hands down one of the most competent, honest, and easygoing people I’ve ever worked with. He and his team take tremendous pride in their work, and Chris consistently goes above and beyond to ensure everything is done right.

I had significant drainage issues on my property, and Chris came back three separate times, took the time to watch numerous videos, and worked closely with me to design a comprehensive system capable of handling the required water flow. He also thought ahead, making sure the system could be expanded in the future without having to tear everything apart.

Chris is incredibly knowledgeable, fair, and trustworthy. He genuinely cares about doing the job right, not just getting it done. I wouldn’t recommend anyone else for drainage or landscaping. In fact, my confidence in Chris and his judgment was so strong that I moved all of my projects over to him. He’s stuck with us!  That says everything you need to know about the level of trust I have in him.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Reed’s Landscaping is the best company I’ve used, hands down. From the very first call I knew I’d be in good hands with Chris. He’s incredibly communicative, fair in his prices, punctual, and extremely knowledgable. We did an entire backyard overhaul including cutting down trees, removing a greenhouse, installing a new fence, and re-seeding grass. The crew was always on time, and very respectful of our property and our neighbors as well. They did the work quickly and left the yard spotless of debris. We have a small dog who’s a bit of an escape artist, and Chris and the team were very intentional in all decisions to make sure that there were no gaps in the new fence. I’ll be using Reed’s Landscaping for all yard work moving forward. Hire them, you won’t regret it!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. On behalf of my husband and me, I wanted to take a moment to rave about the incredible service we received from  Chris Reed and his property maintenance company.

After recently purchasing our new home, we inherited a yard that had been seriously neglected and needed a lot of attention. We were looking for someone who would not only do the job right but truly take pride in their work—and Chris and his team exceeded every expectation.

From the moment Chris came out to provide a quote, he was knowledgeable, honest, professional, and incredibly easy to work with. His attention to detail and commitment to quality were evident throughout the entire project, and the transformation of our yard is nothing short of amazing✨

If you’re looking for someone reliable who genuinely cares about the quality of their work, we can’t recommend Chris Reed and his team highly enough. Thank you for helping make our new house feel even more like home!🏡 ❤️

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From the very first phone call to the final walkthrough, Chris and his crew were nothing short of professional. Chris personally took the time to visit the project, walk me through every step of the process, and even picked me up and drove me to the nursery to help select the perfect trees.

His communication was outstanding throughout the entire project, keeping me informed every step of the way. The quality of workmanship and attention to detail exceeded my expectations, and the finished result was exactly what I had envisioned.

I couldn’t be happier with the outcome and would highly recommend Chris and his crew to anyone looking for a professional, reliable, and high-quality landscaping experience. I look forward to working with them again on future projects.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a permit for a fence or shed pad in New Canaan, CT?

Yes, New Canaan zoning regulations typically require a permit for new accessory structures like sheds and certain fence installations, especially near property lines or in historic zones. Reed's Landscaping LLC assists in understanding local setback requirements to ensure your project is fully compliant.

How deep do you dig fence posts to withstand New Canaan winters?

To prevent frost heaving during cold Connecticut winters, we dig fence posts to a depth of at least 36 inches, placing them securely below the local frost line and backfilling with concrete or gravel for optimal stability.

Why is a gravel shed pad better than putting a shed directly on the ground in Fairfield County?

The clay-heavy, rocky soil in New Canaan retains moisture, which can rot wooden shed floors and cause uneven settling. A compacted crushed stone pad provides excellent drainage, keeps water away from the shed base, and keeps the structure level.

Can you install fencing on sloped properties in the Ponus Ridge or Oenoke Ridge areas?

Absolutely. New Canaan's hilly topography requires experienced installation. We offer both stepped and racked fencing methods to seamlessly follow the natural slope of your land while maintaining structural integrity and security.

How long does it take to install a standard shed pad and fence on a New Canaan property?

Most standard residential projects, including site preparation, excavation, and installation of a shed pad or fence, are completed within 2 to 4 days, depending on the size, slope, and soil conditions of your property.
