Our Thoughtful Approach to Outdoor Living Design & Installation
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:
Complete necessary site protection: mark utilities and hazards and install erosion control and mature tree protection. Layout approved design on-site.
Perform necessary grading, terraforming, terracing, and/or excavating to prepare the land for design development.
We hand-select each and every tree, shrub, perennial, boulder, and stonework used in our projects. Details define a design!
Green Jay Landscaping's expert stonework teams craft natural stone walkways, patios, boulder retaining features, stone 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 trusted network, planting beds are mulched and finished.
Our trusted network provides design and installation of 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.
