01 — The Studio

A yard should feel like Bend itself — open sky, pine shade, stone underfoot.

Cedar & Stone started in 2009 with one pickup, a wheelbarrow, and a stubborn belief: Central Oregon yards shouldn't fight the high desert — they should borrow from it.

Sixteen years later our crew still hand-sets every basalt stone, still specs plants that survive a July on the east side, and still answers the phone on Saturdays. Design, build, and long-term care — all from one local team.

02 — What We Do

Six ways we get our hands dirty.

Hover a row to peek. Tap to open the details, the deliverables, and the dirt.

Site walk-through, scaled planting plans, and concept boards built around native and drought-adapted palettes — penstemon, blue fescue, serviceberry, and Western juniper accents that thrive on a high-desert water budget.

  • Concept board
  • Scaled planting plan
  • Pollinator beds
  • 3-year fill-in map

Paver patios, dry-stacked basalt walls, cedar pergolas, steel-edged gravel paths, and fire pits — all hand-set and base-built to shrug off thirty freeze-thaw cycles a year without heaving.

  • Paver patios
  • Basalt walls
  • Fire pits
  • Cedar & steel

Smart drip systems, weather-based controllers, French drains, and turf-replacement retrofits. We handle the paperwork for local water rebate programs and leave your meter spinning slower by July.

  • Drip retrofits
  • Smart controllers
  • French drains
  • Rebate filing

Weekly and bi-weekly mowing routes, crisp bed edging, seasonal organic fertilization, aeration, and overseeding — for the few lawns that still earn their water in this climate.

  • Mowing routes
  • Bed edging
  • Aeration
  • Organic feed

Structural pruning, ponderosa and aspen planting, and fire-wise defensible space — limbing up and spacing junipers to meet Central Oregon wildfire guidance and pass the district walk-through.

  • Defensible space
  • Structural pruning
  • New plantings
  • Storm cleanup

Spring wake-ups, fall leaf-outs, and irrigation blow-outs scheduled before the first Cascade freeze — so winter damage is a rumor, not a line item.

  • Spring wake-up
  • Fall leaf-out
  • Sprinkler blow-outs
  • Mulch refresh

03 — How It Works

From dirt lot to done, in four walks.

  1. Walk the land

    A free on-site visit. We listen first, then read light, slope, soil, and water — before a single plant is named.

  2. Design & estimate

    Concept board, planting plan, and a line-item fixed quote. No allowances, no surprises after the shovels come out.

  3. Build & plant

    Our own crew — never day labor. Dust controlled, paths swept daily, sprinklers capped, and your pets minded like our own.

  4. Care & grow

    Seasonal care plans keep the design filling in the way it was drawn — denser, brighter, and tougher every year.

04 — Selected Work

Six gardens, six micro-climates.

From Deschutes riverfront to Sisters ranchettes — a sample of what's taken root since 2009.

05 — From the Neighborhood

Word of mouth, well watered.

  • “They turned a thistle lot into a garden the hummingbirds found before we did. The drip retrofit cut our summer water bill nearly in half.”

    Danielle & Mark Hartley — Northwest Crossing, Bend
  • “Cedar & Stone rebuilt our patio in basalt and steel, and it still looks brand-new after three hard winters. Tidy, on time, and kind to our dog.”

    Priya Raman — Old Farm District, Bend
  • “Straight talk, fair quote, and a yard that finally feels like Bend. Our defensible-space work passed the fire district walk-through with notes of praise.”

    Tom & Lupe Reyes — Redmond
