The Narrow Lane Welcomes Lasting Impressions
The Narrow Lane Company is excited to announce the acquisition of Lasting Impressions, a beloved garden design firm led by artist and horticulturist Chris Gray. With over 30 years of experience crafting one-of-a-kind outdoor spaces, the Lasting Impressions team brings deep plant knowledge and an intuitive design sensibility that aligns perfectly with our mission.

At The Narrow Lane Company, our commitment is to create and maintain outdoor spaces that clients truly love – places that feel both beautiful and deeply livable. Lasting Impressions’ organic, intuitive design approach and emphasis on thoughtful plant combinations align seamlessly with our mission.
Expanding Design, Installation, and Garden Care

By welcoming Lasting Impressions into The Narrow Lane family, we are expanding and deepening our service offerings in several key areas:
