Organic Solutions That Inspire Reverence for Our Soil, Waterways, and Abundant Biodiversity
More than a quarter of Greenwich, Connecticut, is water. Maintaining the health of these waterways and the surrounding landscapes is of primary importance to our health—and the health of future generations. At Green Jay Landscape Design, our landscaping services are designed with this in mind.
The majority of our outdoor spaces in the Greenwich area have been disturbed, compromised, or contaminated in one way or another, and it's our mission to restore the health of these landscapes. From wetlands restoration to elegant outdoor living spaces, we create habitat for pollinators and local wildlife and help you reconnect with the natural world.
Green Jay Landscape Design serves all of Greenwich, CT including Cos Cob, Riverside and Old Greenwich.
Benefits of Professional Landscaping
Our unique approach to landscaping services includes a refined process, rich in horticulture expertise, personalized service, and cost transparency. We start with an on-site consultation to evaluate your soil types, path of the sun, existing vegetation, stormwater management, and more, then we merge your preferences with our artistic vision and sustainable solutions to create a one-of-a-kind, self-sufficient outdoor space.

A Process Guided by Ecology and Responsible Land Stewardship
Over our years of experience in the Westchester County, New York tri-state area, we've refined our process to ensure outstanding results for our clients. This is what to expect when you work with us:
Fill out our contact form to book a 15-minute call at your convenience. We'll discuss your project to determine if we're the best fit for you. If so, we'll schedule your $300 on-site consultation to define the scope of work and budget.
Before the consultation, we'll send you a questionnaire. Your responses will give us a better understanding of the project so we can arrive prepared. During the consultation, we consider:
- The path of the sun
- Soil types
- Stormwater management
- Existing vegetation
- Viewsheds
- Potential for habitat
- Invasive Species Control
- And more
As we discuss your vision for the space, we'll take photos and annotate your survey to develop a plan and budget. We'll share our ideas, as well, and point out options you might not have considered. Within three business days, we'll provide your landscape design agreement.
Upon contract acceptance and receipt of the design fee, we'll add you to our design queue. We'll schedule the initial site visit to start working on the design. 3D renderings, detailed construction drawings, and permitting services are also available upon request.
This is when we'll take detailed measurements and fully assess the property. Please be prepared to discuss any new ideas or revisions to your goals. We'll let you know when you can expect to receive your finished landscape design.
We'll schedule another visit to review the master plan, which includes:
- Conceptual drawing
- Planting plan
- Plant palette photos
- Materials list
- Scope of work
- Cost
- Suggested installation phases
- Estimated start and end dates
Your project can be completed in phases. After the design presentation, we'll meet with you on-site or remotely within the week to discuss any revisions you might have and how we intend to proceed. When you approve the design, we typically accept a 50 percent deposit and put you on the work schedule.
With our horticultural expertise, master stonework and craftsmanship, and superior project management, we'll bring your design to life. This includes advanced site development, open communication, and regular updates. All plants are installed according to Green Jay Landscape Design's organic gardening specifications.
When the project is complete, we'll walk the property with you to make sure everything meets your expectations. We will collect the remaining balance due on your investment, request a review, and schedule a professional photography session.
We’ll assist you in learning how to take care of your new garden. If your property is larger than five acres, we'll invite you to join our Sustainable Stewardship Program. For smaller projects, we can refer you to local, organic maintenance providers.
