Your outdoor space should be more than a patch of grass—it should be a natural extension of your home. At Cider Mill Landscapes, we specialize in creating Havertown landscapes that blend form, function, and personality.
Whether you dream of a welcoming front yard, a backyard built for entertaining, or a quiet garden retreat, our team turns those ideas into spaces that elevate your lifestyle and add lasting value to your home.

At Cider Mill Landscapes, our mission is simple: to turn your Havertown property into a beautiful, functional outdoor retreat. From your first consultation to the final walk-through, we combine creativity, craftsmanship, and horticultural know-how to deliver landscapes that delight—for years to come.

This hands-on approach guarantees that your landscape not only looks beautiful upon completion, but also thrives and matures into the outdoor space you’ve always envisioned.
Landscape Design Specialties
We offer everything you need to transform your Havertown property into the outdoor space you’ve always envisioned. Not sure exactly what you want? We’re here to help spark ideas. From landscaping around pools and edging walkways to designing custom outdoor fireplaces, we bring creative, tailored solutions to every project.
Garden Design & Installation
We curate planting plans that offer layered texture, seasonal interest, and ecological benefit. Whether you prefer native species, pollinator-friendly gardens, or a formal aesthetic, we’ll tailor the palette to both your taste and your site’s conditions (sun, soil, drainage, microclimate).
Hardscaping
Patios, walkways, terrace walls, fire pits, seating walls, and more—each element is crafted to feel cohesive with your home and natural surroundings. We design for flow, usability, and longevity (freeze/thaw, drainage, structure).
Arbors, Pergolas & Pavilions
These architectural elements turn open yards into inviting rooms. We consider sun paths, wind exposure, and views when placing structures, and match the style—timber, metal, or composite—to your home’s character.
Outdoor Kitchens
Thinking beyond cookouts? We design outdoor kitchens and living zones that integrate seamlessly with your landscape. Float dining areas under shade, frame them with lighting, and anchor them with durable surfaces.
Drainage & Water Mitigation
Havertown properties can face runoff issues, erosion, and soggy lawns. We solve such challenges by regrading, installing French drains, dry creek beds, retaining systems, and rain gardens—all designed to work with the natural topography, not against it.
Landscape Lighting
Extend the beauty of your setting into the evening. We employ soft, layered lighting—uplights, path lights, accent lighting—to highlight focal points, improve safety, and create atmosphere without glare.
Ponds, Fountains & Water Features
From bubbling fountains to pondless waterfalls, these features add sound and serenity to your landscape. We design installations that balance aesthetics, ecology (plants, aquatic life), and maintenance ease.
Patios
Your patio becomes more than a slab—it’s an extension of your home. We design them to feel like natural transition zones: geometry, texture, jointing, edging, and plant context all matter.

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?
