Custom Landscape Design Packages
At Cedrus Landscape Design, Claudia creates custom residential landscape designs that respond to your site and reflect your vision from compact front entrances to full-property plans. You can bring your ideas to the table, or let me lead the design with a clear and creative direction. My approach is rooted in a rustic-modern style, working with natural elements like bedrock, slope, and mature trees to shape spaces that feel intentional and grounded. I use a mix of materials — timber, corten steel, crushed granite, native plants, and local stone — to craft outdoor environments that feel both contemporary and connected to place.

The Cedrus Design Special
The Cedrus Style
Each design is a layered composition of natural textures and clean lines, striking a balance between modern structure and organic flow. Materials are selected not just for beauty, but for how they age, how they interact, and how they connect your home to the land.
Signature elements might include:
Crushed granite walkways that gently shift with the seasons
Slabs of stone set with creeping thyme between the joints
Native, pollinator-friendly plant palettes for effortless beauty
Corten steel edges and gabion walls for contrast and form
Locally sourced Nova Scotian boulders that anchor the space
Timber details that soften and warm the hardscape
