"Our backyard was weeds and dog ruts. Now the kids are out there every evening and I'm not embarrassed when people come over. They showed up when they said they would, every single time."

Family-run, Bend-based, and still answering our own phone. The people who build your yard are the people who keep it up.
Cedar & Stone began when our founder left a bigger regional outfit to do this work the way he thought it should be done — show up when you say you will, build it right the first time, and stand behind it after the check clears.
Eighteen years later it's still family-run, still based in Bend, and still small enough that you'll know the people on your property by name. We've never chased every job — just the ones we can do well.
The high desert is its own animal — cold nights, dry air, lava-rock soil, and a short window to get plants established. We've spent years learning which ones shrug all that off and which ones sulk, so your yard fills in instead of limping along.
Same thinking goes into the hardscape: the right base depth and drainage so nothing heaves when the ground freezes and thaws. Built once, built for the climate it's actually in.
We don't hand your yard off to a rotating cast of subcontractors. The same people who set your stone and ran your irrigation are the ones who come back to prune, adjust, and tune it season after season.
They know where every line and valve is buried — so nothing gets missed, and the small problems get caught while they're still small. That's how a yard ends up looking better every year instead of slowly sliding backward.

"Our backyard was weeds and dog ruts. Now the kids are out there every evening and I'm not embarrassed when people come over. They showed up when they said they would, every single time."
"The new drip system dropped our July water bill by almost forty bucks, and the plants look better than ever. These folks actually know high-desert planting."
"We got three bids. Cedar & Stone was the only crew that walked the whole property and asked how we use it. The patio stays cool in August and we eat dinner out there now."
