Garden Design & Installation
At Cider Mill Landscapes, we believe thoughtful plant selection is essential to successful landscape design. We choose plantings that offer year-round beauty and seasonal interest, ensuring your garden stays vibrant and engaging through every season.
Each design considers:
- Sun and shade conditions to ensure healthy growth
- Bloom times for continuous color and variety
- A mix of heights, forms, and textures for visual harmony
We aim to create a landscape that’s not only beautiful but also low-maintenance and enduring. Have favorite plants or specific preferences? We’re happy to incorporate them. While we often recommend native species for their hardiness and environmental benefits, our focus is always on making your vision a reality.

Arbors, Pergolas, and Pavilions
Transform your outdoor area with stunning arbors, elegant pergolas, or charming pavilions that blend beauty with functionality. These architectural features not only provide much-needed shade but also add a touch of sophistication to your garden or patio. Whether you lean towards the rustic appeal of natural wood or the sleek aesthetics of modern vinyl, expert installation is essential for ensuring lasting durability and stability.
Outdoor Kitchens
Installing an outdoor kitchen transforms your backyard into a functional, stylish space perfect for entertaining. It enhances your cooking experience by allowing you to prepare meals in a beautiful, open-air setting—ideal for barbecues, gatherings, and casual dinners with family and friends. Beyond convenience, an outdoor kitchen adds value and appeal to your home. From layout and appliance selection to materials and finishes, we’ll guide you through the entire planning and installation process to create a custom space that fits your lifestyle and complements your landscape.
Drainage Water Mitigation
Effective landscape drainage and water management are crucial for nurturing a vibrant and functional outdoor environment. Our mission is to effectively handle excess rainwater and runoff, safeguarding against problems like erosion, flooding, and damage to your plants and structures. We implement reliable strategies such as precise grading, advanced drainage systems, and retention basins to regulate water flow and bolster soil stability. Rely on us to cultivate a resilient outdoor space that endures through the seasons.
Landscape Lighting
Landscape lighting can dramatically enhance your outdoor space, adding both beauty and functionality. Strategically placed lights along walkways, garden beds, and architectural features create a warm, inviting atmosphere while also increasing safety and visibility at night. We offer a variety of lighting options—such as energy-efficient LED, solar-powered, and low-voltage systems—to suit your style and sustainability goals. With thoughtful design and precise installation, we ensure your landscape lighting highlights the best features of your property and extends the enjoyment of your outdoor spaces well into the evening.
Ponds, Fountains & Water Features
Incorporating ponds, fountains, and other water features into your landscape can transform your yard into a serene, inviting retreat. The soothing sound of flowing water adds tranquility, while the visual appeal enhances the overall beauty of your outdoor space. Whether you’re envisioning a small decorative fountain or a larger pond, these features attract wildlife, support diverse plant life, and create a natural focal point for relaxation and enjoyment. With expert planning and design, we’ll help you create a harmonious, low-maintenance water feature that elevates your landscape and offers a refreshing escape right at home.
Patios
A custom patio transforms your backyard into a chic and functional outdoor haven where relaxation, entertainment, and a connection with nature come together. Whether you envision a cozy nook for intimate gatherings or a spacious area for dining al fresco, patios infuse elegance and structure into your landscape. Built from high-quality materials and crafted with meticulous attention to detail, patios serve as a durable foundation for both vibrant celebrations and tranquil moments. If you’re looking to extend your living space or create a secluded retreat, a patio is a stunning and practical way to enhance your home’s connection to the outdoors.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need a landscape designer? Can’t I do this on my own?
In doing this for many years, and living and breathing it every day, there are a lot of things that go into a design. Like every other industry, there are things that an “amateur” or someone that doesn’t design on a daily basis will overlook. There are intricate details that we know to implement into a design. As well as different aspects of nature or a landscape that we know to factor in that a homeowner may not. Especially with outdoors, there are a lot of things to take into consideration.
Do you work with budgets?
We do work with budgets. Making sure we design to accommodate our clients is a big part of the process.
Can I get an estimate over the phone?
In most cases, the answer is no. We need a site visit and accurate measurements.
Can you perform installations if I already have plans?
Yes, however, we may make suggestions or edits to the plan. We will not implement another design if we feel like the structural integrity of a project has been compromised or under-engineered. We also will not implement a design that has horticultural or product flaws.
What are your payment terms?
For smaller projects, and repeat maintenance clients, payment is due upon completion. For mid-size and larger projects, we take 1/3 up front and the rest upon completion. For projects larger than $50k, we take 1/3 up front, 1/3 when approximately half-way done, and the rest upon completion. Typically we make sure a client is 100% satisfied before taking a final payment.
What forms of payment do you accept?
Cash and check. If a credit card is requested we charge a 3.5% finance fee (our cost from the merchant service provider.)
What guarantees do you offer on installations?
New plant installations have a one year warranty.
Patios, structures, and outdoor living areas receive a 3-5 year craftsmanship warranty, depending on the service.
All appliances and products receive the manufacturer’s warranty.
Are your staff sub-contractors or employees?
