Stream & Slope Landscaping

New Canaan, CT

We received a call about a pond full of dead fish in New Canaan. Green Jay Landscape Design was hired to restore water quality organically, and to design a more dramatic and functional habitat in the form of a cascading stream and native hillside planting.

We also installed a fieldstone staircase and patio to improve the accessibility interaction with the pond..

The pool area, once dominated by annuals, received an ecological perennial makeover, especially along the rear slope, which had become erodible and weed-infested.
