Garden Design & Installation
At Cider Mill Landscapes, we believe thoughtful plant selection is crucial for a successful landscape design. We choose plants that offer year-round beauty and seasonal interest, ensuring your garden remains vibrant and engaging throughout the seasons.
Each design takes into account:
- Sun and shade conditions for healthy growth
- Bloom times for continuous color and variety
- A mix of heights, forms, and textures for visual harmony
Our goal is to create a landscape that is not only beautiful but also low-maintenance and enduring. If you have specific plant preferences, we’re happy to accommodate them. We often recommend native species for their resilience, but our primary focus is on making your vision a reality.
Hardscaping
Hardscaping is a key aspect of landscape design, focusing on non-living elements that provide structure, functionality, and style to your outdoor space. This includes patios, walkways, seating areas, and more, adding both beauty and practicality to your property. Whether you’re looking for stone, brick, concrete, or wood, we use materials that complement your home’s architecture and blend seamlessly with your surroundings. Our designs create a cohesive and inviting outdoor experience that enhances your Malvern property.
Arbors, Pergolas & Pavilions
Adding arbors, pergolas, or pavilions to your outdoor space in Malvern adds both beauty and function. These structures provide shade, introduce architectural interest, and elevate your garden or patio. Whether you prefer natural wood or modern vinyl, we ensure quality installation for durability and stability. We carefully choose the best location based on sunlight, wind exposure, and your intended use for the space. From there, we follow local building codes and permitting requirements for a smooth, compliant build. With expert craftsmanship, we’ll create a space perfect for relaxation or entertaining.
Outdoor Kitchens
Installing an outdoor kitchen transforms your Malvern backyard into a functional and stylish entertainment area. It enhances your cooking experience, allowing you to prepare meals in an open-air setting—ideal for barbecues, family gatherings, and casual dinners. Beyond convenience, an outdoor kitchen adds value and appeal to your home. We’ll guide you through the entire planning and installation process, from layout and appliance selection to materials and finishes, creating a custom space that fits your lifestyle and complements your landscape.
Drainage & Water Mitigation
Effective landscape drainage and water mitigation are essential for maintaining a healthy, functional outdoor space in Malvern. Our goal is to manage excess rainwater and runoff, preventing erosion, flooding, and damage to plants or structures. We utilize proven solutions like proper grading, drainage systems, and retention basins to control water flow and improve soil stability. These strategies protect your property while supporting sustainable landscaping, ensuring your lawn and garden thrive even in heavy rain.
Landscape Lighting
Landscape lighting can dramatically enhance your Malvern outdoor space, adding both beauty and functionality. Strategically placed lights along walkways, garden beds, and architectural features create a warm, inviting atmosphere while also improving safety and visibility at night. We offer a variety of lighting options—LED, solar-powered, and low-voltage systems—to suit your design preferences and energy-saving goals. With careful design and expert installation, we ensure your landscape lighting highlights the best features of your property and extends the enjoyment of your outdoor spaces after dark.
Ponds, Fountains & Water Features
Incorporating ponds, fountains, and other water features into your Malvern landscape can transform your yard into a tranquil retreat. The soothing sound of flowing water adds calm, while the visual appeal enhances the overall beauty of your space.
Whether you’re imagining 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 thoughtful planning and design, we’ll help you create a harmonious, low-maintenance water feature that enhances your landscape and offers a refreshing escape.
Patios
A custom patio turns your Malvern backyard into a functional, stylish outdoor living space, perfect for relaxing, entertaining, and enjoying nature. Whether you want a cozy seating area or a spacious dining spot, patios add elegance and structure to your landscape.
Crafted from durable materials and designed with care, patios provide a long-lasting foundation for both lively gatherings and quiet moments. Whether you’re looking to extend your living space or create a private retreat, a patio offers a beautiful and practical way to enhance your home’s relationship with 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?
