Scarsdale, New York, residents seeking a more natural approach to their landscaping needs have a friend in Green Jay Landscape Design. When you go with Green Jay for natural landscaping, you go with a company dedicated to sustainable environmental practices and increased biodiversity.

Our approach to natural landscaping prioritizes creating outdoor spaces that closely mimic the aesthetics and ecological functions of the surrounding natural environment. It emphasizes using native plants, indigenous materials, and designs that blend seamlessly with the local ecosystem.

Green Jay aims to create a harmonious and sustainable landscape while enhancing your property’s natural beauty. If you desire to conserve water, support the local wildlife, and minimize maintenance on your property, then you’re working with one of the best companies to meet those goals.

Green Jay’s Natural Landscaping Methods

When you choose Green Jay, we’ll thoroughly assess your yard’s microclimate, access to water and sunlight, and topography. This will aid your specialist’s mission to fully involve every aspect of your landscape.

From there, our landscaping team develops a custom natural landscaping plan designed to marry your needs and desires with your existing landscape. Our process involves planting native species well-suited to the local climate and soil conditions, reducing the need for irrigation and eliminating chemical inputs.

It also encourages the creation of habitats for birds, pollinators, and other wildlife, fostering biodiversity within the homeowner's outdoor space. This approach can lead to a more environmentally friendly and resilient landscape that contributes positively to the overall ecological health of the region. When it comes to sustainability, Green Jay looks to be part of the solution instead of another symptom of the environmental problem.

Natural Landscaping: The Process

Developing your landscape architecture is a meticulous and collaborative journey that begins with your vision and culminates in a breathtaking outdoor masterpiece. Our process starts with a detailed consultation where we'll sit down with you to understand your goals, preferences, and aspirations for your outdoor space. From there, our landscape designers will conduct a comprehensive site analysis to help inform the initial design concepts.

Once we've established a design that resonates with your vision, our team will craft a detailed landscape plan. Sustainability is a cornerstone of our approach, so we'll integrate eco-friendly practices and materials whenever possible.

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.
