At Green Jay Landscape Design, we offer regenerative landscaping services to homeowners in Darien, Connecticut and the surrounding coastal region. As the tri-state area’s premier native landscape design company, we specialize in ecological landscape design that respects the land, supports biodiversity, and creates toxin-free, pet-friendly spaces your family and local wildlife will enjoy for years to come.
We understand that every outdoor space has been disturbed in some way; our role is to bring it back to life using our 100% organic horticulture installation methods. Whether you're located near Tokeneke or Noroton, or tucked away on a secluded property off the Post Road, our local expertise in eco-region 59 helps us select the native plants and natural systems that work best for your landscape.
Darien’s unique shoreline, wetland zones, and wooded residential areas make it ideal for custom-designed habitats. From habitat restoration to stormwater management, we design landscapes that look stunning while serving an ecological purpose, resulting in lower maintenance needs, improved air and soil health, and an inviting home for birds, bees, and butterflies.

How Our Process Puts You First

Complete necessary site protection: mark utilities and hazards and install erosion control and mature tree protection. Layout approved design on-site.

We hand-select each and every tree, shrub, perennial, boulder, and path/patio stone used in our projects. Details define a design!
Green Jay Landscaping's expert masonry teams craft natural stone walkways, patios, retaining walls, staircases, and more. We also work with stucco and stone veneer. Driveway siting and installation (gravel, Belgium block, curbing, and edging) is also in our purview.
Green Jay Landscape Design garden crews mark out new planting beds, weed and/or dethatch the area, and amend soil with organic compost, biochar, and bio-stimulants. Soil tests may reveal additional recommendations.
Our designers finalize plant placement on-site, collaborating with the client to ensure views are accentuated and screened perfectly. Plantings range from trees to shrubs, perennials, annuals, containers, and vertical gardens. Install crews follow organic horticulture planting techniques and edge beds.
Proper irrigation is the key to a successful garden. Following a custom irrigation installation by our Preferred Providers, planting beds are mulched and finished.
Our Preferred Providers design and install custom landscape lighting plans.
Final walkthrough with client and designer to ensure ultimate satisfaction with the project. Modifications made if necessary. Project closes, local maintenance providers recommended or Residential Sustainable Stewardship begins.
