Green Jay Landscape Design’s Top Landscape Designs in Fairfield County, CT
#1: Modern Pool Landscaping: Natural Stone Masonry, Habitat Gardens & Wetland Mitigation | Greenwich, CT
We loved designing the landscape for this newly constructed modern farmhouse style home. We chose a contemporary patio design: an array of bluestone rectangles with grass joints. The poolside garden is a magnificent pollinator perennial garden featuring northeast natives.

GJL also planted the front entrance garden and front landscape garden that creates a frame around the organic front lawn.
#2 Front Yard Pollinator Garden Lawn Replacement | Stamford, CT
Bravo to another client who realized the futility of their front lawn! We had so much fun removing this front lawn and replacing it with a pollinator garden featuring native perennials, shrubs and grasses!
Check out the entire project on our previous blog Front Yard Pollinator Garden in Fairfield County, and in our Portfolio Gallery!
Watch the video below — a compilation of pollinator footage filmed by our client, all in this small front yard!
#3 Hillside Gardens, Stream Construction & Pool Landscaping | New Canaan
This property is in its second year of phased landscape design. We were originally hired to construct a naturalistic stream leading to an existing koi pond, and to plant the hillside next to it with a pollinator habitat garden.
In the second year, we updated the pool-side garden to be more ecologically-friendly (it mostly consisted of annuals before). We also weeded and planted the rear steep slope with soil stabilizing natives that are a continuation of the pollinator habitat from the stream side garden.

#4 Rooftop Terrace Container Gardens for Pollinators | Stamford, CT
You don’t need a yard to have impact! We designed this terrace garden in Stamford for seasonal impact and ecological value: annuals and perennials that attract pollinators and birds even from five stories up! We typically spruce up a few containers twice a year for spring/summer and fall/winter. The others contain strong year-round architectural elements– evergreens or ornamental grasses.
