With a focus on organic horticulture, carbon sequestration, and erosion control, we offer five primary services:

  • Ecological Landscape Design: We prioritize a healthy planet—and a healthy lifestyle for our clients. We avoid the use of chemicals as we plan your landscape to improve soil microbial communities, restore habitat for wildlife, and manage stormwater.
  • Landscape Construction: From grading and site development to custom natural stone masonry, organic horticulture, and more, we specialize in a holistic approach to Low-Impact Development (LID) following the Sustainable SITES Initiative.
  • General Contracting: Complete the most complex landscaping projects with the Green Jay team and our high standards for sustainability, safety, and craftsmanship.
  • Ecological Consulting: Rely on our education and experience for guidance on erosion control, invasive species management, carbon-smart landscaping, and more.
  • Residential Sustainable Stewardship: For properties of five acres or more, we provide holistic property evaluations in an effort to improve ecosystem services, biodiversity, natural resource management, and the overall health of your landscape.

From outdoor living spaces with natural stone patios, walkways, fire pits, and fountains, to wetlands restoration, pollinator gardens, permaculture, drainage, native landscaping, and more, every project is an opportunity to create the healthiest biological environment possible. Starting with a detailed property survey that observes and analyzes your soil type, sun path, existing vegetation, and potential for habitat, our approach is complex, but the results are noteworthy.

You'll enjoy a healthy, unpolluted, toxin-free landscape that requires less water and less maintenance, an outdoor space that invites the pollinators and local wildlife to return and thrive. With our organic, Earth-sourced products and techniques, you'll reduce your toxic exposures and personal stress while enjoying a landscape that still meets all your personal lifestyle preferences. These projects are both art and science, and we're here to guide you through the process with transparency and collaboration.

Environmental preservation shouldn't simply be left to the caretakers of our wildlife reserves and waterways. It's our job, too, and it starts with every backyard in Westchester County, New York. We're proud to offer regenerative landscape design and ecological restoration using plants from our  Eco Region 59—the Northeastern Coastal Zone. Take a closer look at our service area, and contact us to learn more about our long history as a landscaping company here.

Transparency, Respect, and Collaboration: Our Refined Process

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:

Step 1 - Get in Touch

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.

Step 2 - On-Site Consultation

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
  • Drainage Flow Paths
  • 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.

Step 3 - Landscape Design Contract

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. Architectural drawings, 3D renderings, and construction drawings and permitting are available upon request. 

Step 4 - Initial Design Visit & Site Analysis

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.

Step 5 - Design Presentation

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. 

Step 6 - Installation

With our horticultural expertise, master masonry 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.

Step 7 - Final Walkthrough + Ongoing Maintenance

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.
