New Generation Landscaping & Fence

New Generation Landscaping & Fence is a Peabody company people call mainly for one thing — a fence, installed fast once the crew actually shows up. It says it's owner-operated, and it holds an active Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor license, so the license side checks out for work that touches a property line. The last six months back that up: ten reviews across Google, Thumbtack, and Angi, all positive. One homeowner needed a yard fenced quickly after breaking a leg and couldn't walk the dog — a plan was worked out immediately and a crew was on-site installing it the next day. Another, with a large yard, got a fence up in a day and a half after getting what they called the best quote around. A pattern worth knowing shows up even in the praise: one reviewer was told a one-day job, then waited three to four weeks for the crew to start, and had it finished in a single day once they arrived — the install itself moves fast, but getting on the calendar can take longer. That pattern holds across a much longer history — 68 reviews since 2019 spread across six different sites — and the ratings cluster close together because of it: 5.0 on Google (50 ratings), 4.8 on Thumbtack (76 ratings, named a Top Pro every year from 2020 through 2025), and 4.6 on Angi (17 ratings, with an Angi Approved badge). Elder shows up by name across several reviews as the one planning and quoting jobs, though other recent installs credit Tomas and Rene with running the crew. The work isn't limited to fencing either — sod installs, a repaved patio with a new fire pit, and a two-season run of weekly maintenance for one client all get called out by name. Angi's page also carries two older complaints worth asking about directly: one customer says a deposit wasn't returned after they postponed a fence job, and another described sod and overseeding as patchy, with a slow response when they asked for a fix. Neither shows up in the recent run of reviews, but both are specific enough to raise before signing anything. For a straightforward fence job, this is a licensed, BBB-accredited (A+) company with enough of a track record across enough sources to trust the pattern.
