Our landscaping services focus on sustainable plant selection and soil enhancement using compost and biochar. We create thriving ecosystems by matching plants to site conditions and improving soil health. Projects range from single tree installations to full-property renovations, including seasonal maintenance for year-round beauty.

Hardscaping integrates durable materials like natural stone, pavers, and brick to create functional outdoor spaces. We specialize in permeable patios, retaining walls, and walkways that manage stormwater while enhancing aesthetics. Certified crews ensure modern installation techniques for long-lasting results.

I had a vision for landscaping my front yard. Alden brought that vision to life. He planned out the bushes, plants and grasses that would do well in full sun and compliment each other. The work was completed in one day. I now have curb appeal and I absolutely love my new front yard. Thank you Cedar Run Landscapes!

Curtis and the crew have been working on our property for many years. Curtis has regularly cleaned and maintained the small pond, and is responsive to scheduling the maintenance as well as the other crew members to do a spring and fall clean up of my woodland garden. The property looks fantastic and I highly recommend Cedar Run. Services: Mulching, Lawn mowing/maintenance

Cedar Run has allowed me to be creative with my yard! How many landscapers can offer this empowered resource without feeling professionally challenged? Over the past 6+ yrs I have developed an excellent, reliable rapport with the field foreman. The product quality is always exceptional, and the crew is neat, respectful, and efficient in executing their work. My wish is that other potential clients will also be inclined to have this same experience.

When dealing with contractors, they frequently send less experienced help to investigate your problem. Not Cedar Run Landscapes. The guy who shows up at my doorstep is the most knowledgeable guy in the company, the President himself! No pushy sales person, just the best consultant! He immediately assesses my situation, saying that if his free advice didn't work (which he expected it would) just call him directly.
Though my immediate problem will probably be solved with his advice, I know that this is a professionally run company. The owner tells me that he started the business 40 years ago - I think he and his family will be successful for another 40+ years. This company is a class act!

Alden provided a detailed estimate of the work to be performed and the price was fair. His team arrived on team and never stopped working for 7 hours until the work was completed. I would highly recommend them.
