In today’s fast-paced world, more homeowners are seeking a deeper connection to nature and there’s no better place to start than your own backyard.
At Cedarwood Landscaping, we believe that a beautiful landscape should also be a living one — buzzing with pollinators, filled with birdsong, and supporting the health of our local ecosystems.
A wildlife-friendly landscape isn’t about letting things grow wild. It’s about designing with purpose — selecting the right plants, creating habitat diversity, and thinking beyond aesthetics. The result? A space that’s not only stunning year-round but also benefits our shared environment and enhances your experience outdoors.
Why It Matters in New Jersey
New Jersey is home to a rich variety of native species, but their habitats are under threat from development, climate change, and invasive plants.
When landscapes rely on exotic or non-native species, they often offer little to no food or shelter for local wildlife — leading to sharp declines in birds, bees, butterflies, and beneficial insects. They also become hungrier for things such as water, nutrients, and even sunlight, robing these precious resources from the native plant environment.
By restoring native plants and encouraging natural processes, we help bring balance back to your property and support the broader ecosystem beyond your property line.
How Cedarwood Builds Wildlife-Friendly Spaces
We take a comprehensive, ecologically informed approach to landscape design, incorporating:
Native Plant Installation: From wildflower meadows to native shrubs and trees, we carefully select plants that provide nectar, seeds, and shelter for New Jersey’s wildlife, while also thriving in local soil and climate conditions.
Layered Planting Design: We create diversity with varying heights and textures, mimicking natural habitats and offering refuge for birds, pollinators, and small mammals.
Habitat Features: Birdhouses, pollinator gardens, and water sources can be integrated seamlessly into luxury landscapes, adding life without compromising style.
Invasive Species Control: A critical first step, we remove aggressive non-native plants that threaten habitat quality. Our brush cutting and forestry mulching services help restore natural balance and open space for native growth.
Ongoing Maintenance & Monitoring: Because sustainable landscapes evolve, we provide continued care to ensure your outdoor space remains healthy, functional, and wildlife friendly.
A Landscape That’s Alive with Purpose
At Cedarwood, we believe luxury doesn’t mean sterile.
The most impressive landscapes are the ones alive with movement, sound, and seasonal interest. They are also the landscapes that will make you, and your family, happy! So, whether you’re transforming a backyard or reclaiming overgrown woods, we’ll help you create a refined space that also gives back to nature.
