Design & Rendering's
Our process begins with a onsite design consultation. The consultation will involve a property assessment where we will assess the landscape layout and gather goals and visions with the client to begin envisioning a design that compliments your home or business property. A landscape design allows you to visualize the project, make informed decisions, and ensure our plan aligns with your vision. The design fee varies and will be applied to the total cost of the project if you decide to move forward with Birch Landscape & Design. Below are some examples of recent designs and renderings.

Planting
At Birch Landscape & design our specialty is planting. From simply adding a new garden bed to your existing landscape to complete garden restorations. Planting in Bergen County can be particularly difficult for various reasons such as deer and shade. We have the experience and knowledge needed to determine what plant materials will work best on your property. A simple new planting can aesthetically enhance your curb appeal at your home or business, increasing your property's value and enhancing its visual appearance. We specialize in the following plantings:
-
Perennial Gardens: A perennial garden is made up of plants that return each year, offering lasting beauty with minimal maintenance. These plants bloom in different seasons, providing continuous color and texture throughout the year. Once established, perennials grow and spread over time, making them a cost-effective and sustainable choice for creating a vibrant, low-maintenance garden that thrives for years.
-
Shade Plantings: Involves selecting plants that thrive in low-light conditions, such as under trees or along building walls. These plants are well-suited to areas with little direct sunlight, adding beauty and texture to shaded spots in the garden.
-
Privacy Plantings: Looking for privacy? Installing trees, shrubs, or hedges to create natural barriers that block unwanted views, reduce noise, and enhance seclusion. This type of planting is ideal for increasing privacy in yards, patios, or along property lines, while also adding beauty and greenery to the landscape.
-
Deer Resistant Plantings: The deer population in our area causes a major problem with plant damage. With our experience and knowledge we are able to choose plants that deer tend to avoid, reducing the risk of damage to your garden. These plants usually have characteristics like strong fragrances, prickly leaves, or bitter tastes that discourage deer from feeding on them, making them ideal for areas with frequent deer activity.
-
Foundation Plantings: Refers to landscaping around the base of a building to enhance its appearance and create a balanced, cohesive look. It typically includes shrubs, flowers, and small trees that soften the transition between the structure and the landscape, while providing visual interest and curb appeal.
-
New Construction Plantings: We offer installation plants around newly built homes or buildings to enhance the landscape. This includes creating a cohesive design with trees, shrubs, and flowers that complement the structure, improve curb appeal, and establish an attractive outdoor environment.
-
Sod: Looking for grass over-night? We install sod which is pre-grown grass that is used to quickly establish a lawn. It provides an instant green, lush appearance and is often used in new lawns, bare patches, or areas that need immediate coverage.
Hardscaping
Hardscaping refers to the non-plant elements of landscape design, such as pathways, patios, retaining walls, and other structures made from materials like stone, pavers, or retaining wall block. It adds functionality, structure, and visual interest to outdoor spaces, complementing the softer elements like plants and grass. Hardscaping can help define spaces, improve accessibility, and create long-lasting, low-maintenance features in the landscape. Some hardscape services we offer are:
-
Patios: Allow us create a stylish and durable outdoor space made from individual natural stones or interlocking concrete pavers. It provides a versatile, easy-to-maintain surface for relaxing, dining, or entertaining in your yard or garden.
-
Walkways: A path made from natural stone or concrete pavers, offering a durable and visually appealing way to connect different areas of your outdoor space. It’s customizable and adds charm to your landscape.
-
Paver Driveway: Looking for a new driveway that is not asphalt? A paver driveway is a durable and attractive driveway made from interlocking concrete pavers and Belgium block. It offers a customizable surface that adds curb appeal and can withstand heavy traffic and weather conditions.
-
Retaining Wall: A paver retaining wall is a durable structure made from interlocking pavers or natural stacked stone designed to hold back soil, prevent erosion, and create level areas in a landscape. It adds both functionality and aesthetic appeal to outdoor spaces.
-
Fire Pits: A stylish outdoor feature designed for safely enjoying a fire. Typically built with interlocking concrete block, it serves as a cozy gathering spot, providing warmth and ambiance for outdoor entertainment or relaxation.
