Our Story

 What is Jessecology, anyway?

-Jessecology is a vertically integrated sustainable, organic landscaping firm with an attached wildflower farm.  As a certified NYS WBE, Jessecology specializes in habitat restoration work that empowers homeowners to accomplish environmental conservation right at home. Our command of native species plants, trees, shrubs and native grasses has surely carved out a niche for us within the landscaping industry. The new 100% native species design-build projects we complete every year are cooling the capital region’s temperature and adding a rather immeasurable beauty and happiness quotient to our region.

The Jessecology “Nature Park.”

Through the Jessecology Stewardship Program, nearly 100 acres of private land are organically managed,  simultaneously forming the region’s largest eco-type native seed vault—a living resource for ongoing ecological restoration. Since 2005, Jessecology has completed more than 1,000 habitat restoration projects across New York State, representing an estimated five square miles of restored private habitat land. Our ~75 square mile service area forms a rich migration corridor, a large nature park in a diaspora. 

Mission Statement

At Jessecology Eco-Landscaping, we restore habitat and biodiversity in New York State through sustainable landscaping. We are the leaders in private land conservation with ecological understanding and beauty as our guide.

Vision Statement

Jessecology Eco-Landscaping envisions a New York State capital region where everyday landscapes restore habitat and beauty at scale. Traffic circles, roadsides, school campuses, and industrial parks become climate-cooling, biodiverse places that invite people to slow down and pay attention. This work is rooted in private land stewardship. Our homeowners form a living network of restored habitat across the region, a growing mosaic that proves meaningful conservation can begin at home and expand outward.

Love of Beauty is our company’s foundational core value. Beauty is a discipline, not a preference. We hold ourselves to high aesthetic and ecological standards because our work shapes real landscapes and real lives.
