Landscape Design

  • Sustainable Landscape Design: This is about the future of your landscape: beautiful and resilient, a gift to the next generation. Learn more about Carbon-Smart Landscaping and Project Management.
  • Trail Design, Development & Construction: Appreciate your whole property with designed trail systems constructed with natural materials.
  • Wetlands Restoration: Wetlands are Mother Nature's filtration system—and years of misguided development have compromised many of the country's precious wetlands. We're experienced in all aspects of wetlands restoration, and we can turn this space into an asset for you. Learn more on our Wetland Restoration page.
  • Permaculture: Every design choice serves multiple “stacked” functions in permaculture design. For example, a native shrub chosen might supply nectar for pollinators, berries for humans, nesting locations for birds, AND help absorb and filter stormwater. If you are interested in a highly-functioning, edible landscape, permaculture might be right for you! Learn more on our blog: Darien, CT Project, Hastings, NY Project.

  • Drainage Solutions: Stormwater management, including rain gardens, French drains, bioswales, and other drainage solutions are essential for protecting your buildings, hardscaping, plants, and soil. Learn more on our Stormwater Management page.
  • Erosion Control: Top soil is a non-renewable resource in our lifetime and deserves protection! Erosion control devices (jute netting, compostable socks, structural soil) installed on steep slopes along with designed plantings can have a significant impact in combating soil erosion. Learn more on our Erosion Control page.
  • Grading: We can manipulate landscape elevations to create level play areas, spaces to recreate or entertain in, or garden terraces to interrupt a steep slope and assist with erosion control.
Organic Sod & Turf

Organic Sod & Turf

  • Sod Installation: For immediate results, often around sensitive areas like pools, we install sod, often with clover included in the mix to reduce fertilizer inputs.
Custom Irrigation, Lighting & Sound

Custom Irrigation, Lighting & Sound

  • Irrigation:·   Our preferred irrigation providers set up custom zones tailored to the landscape. We stage irrigation installation to ensure new plants are adequately watered as soon as they are planted. Smart irrigation sensors interact with live weather data to adjust water schedules.

  • Outdoor Sound: Complete the ambiance of your new entertaining spaces with discrete, state-of-the-art outdoor sound systems.

A Process That Invites You In, Keeps You Informed, and Delivers Results

Step 1 - Site Protection & Construction Layout

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

Step 2 - Site Development & Land Clearing

Perform necessary grading, terraforming, terracing, and/or excavating to prepare the land for design development.

Step 3 - Hardscape & Plant Materials Selection

We hand-select each and every tree, shrub, perennial, boulder, and path/patio stone used in our projects. Details define a design!

Step 4 - Installation & Construction of Hardscape

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.

Step 5 - Delineate Planting Beds & Amend Soil

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.

Step 6 - Planting

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.

Step 7 - Irrigation & Finishing

Proper irrigation is the key to a successful garden. Following a custom irrigation installation by our Preferred Providers, planting beds are mulched and finished.

Step 8 - Outdoor Lighting

Our Preferred Providers design and install  custom landscape lighting plans.

Step 9 - Walkthrough

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.
