Learn More About Green Jay Landscape Design
Founder Jay Archer felt a disconnect between the vibrant, life-supporting ecosystems he explored as an avid outdoorsman, naturalist, gardener, and environmental educator, and the sterile, overly-manicured landscapes he saw throughout the community. After developing and teaching ecological restoration at the New York Botanical Garden and the Institute for Ecosystem Studies, Jay founded Green Jay Landscape Design to disrupt the landscape status quo. As a team, we reject commonplace practices, like gas-powered leaf blowers and toxic chemical applications, and build engaging landscapes that serve as ecological models. Visit our About page to learn more about Jay, the team, and our mission in the Westchester County, New York area.
A Reputation for Responsible Land Stewardship and Low-Impact Development
We are humbled when our clients trust us with the re-imagining and rewilding of their landscapes, and it brings us joy to know you love these vibrant outdoor spaces as much as we love creating them.
Jay and his team were able to divert storm water away from our house into dry wells on our property as well as improving the permeability of our soil and optimizing drainage throughout the property. His creative solution to our drainage problems minimized excavation, preserved the natural landscape and allowed for infiltration into the aquifer rather than diverting water into storm drains.The team was very professional, reliable, and skilled. I could not recommend Jay and his team highly enough.
If you are looking for a one of a kind garden, which is both beautiful and ecologically beneficial, GreenJay is the perfect landscaper. It’s incredibly rare to find a company that exceeds expectations; Jay and team from consultation through design and execution are the best in the business. We are thrilled with the vision that Jay created for us. It has transformed our property into our own little slice of heaven. If you get a chance to work with Jay and his team, don’t hesitate, do it!
Working with Green Jay has been a pleasure. Their project estimates with detailed plant lists allowed me to review and discuss choices before installation. When some plants were not available or didn’t quite work where planned, we were able to discuss and agree on changes. The professionals are very knowledgeable and committed to landscapes that support nature and ecological priorities. The crew is friendly and efficient. It’s not cheap and I didn’t expect it to be, but the price is fair for the quality and skill involved. The result is nothing less than spectacular. I am thrilled with Green Jay’s work.
