Founded in 2015, Jodie Nevas LLC is a boutique landscape design firm based in Westport, CT. Working collaboratively with clients and trusted contractors, we shape properties with a balance of nuanced design and ecological sensitivity.

The process begins with a complimentary phone consultation and unfolds in three phases.


  • Conceptual Design

    This phase defines the overall framework of the landscape, developing spatial structure and planting composition in tandem. Movement, hardscape, and layered seasonal planting are shaped as a cohesive whole.

    Deliverables typically include a scaled master plan and curated concept imagery.

  • Construction Specifications

    Once the conceptual framework is established, the design is developed into detailed documentation that clarifies scope for bidding and construction.

    Hardscape, plant and material detailing evolves with the scale and phasing of the project.

  • Construction Oversight

    During construction, ongoing consultation helps ensure the design is executed as intended. Site visits, coordination with contractors, and guidance on material decisions and plant placement support the work as it takes shape.

    The level of involvement is tailored to the needs of the project.
