Fall is approaching and it is about time to renovate that tired, worn out lawn. A lawn restoration allows you to improve your lawn without removing the existing turf. If your lawn has significant browning or dead spots it is time to do a full renovation. Cedar Run Landscapes can help you regain a healthy green lush lawn.

Why Use Pine Needles
An Alternative to Wood Mulch
Pine needles are unlike common wood mulch used throughout the landscape in many ways. Pine needles do not mat together, ensuring that air, moisture and fertilizer can easily penetrate the soil. This product is also resistant to mushroom growth, slime mold, bird's nest fungus, and artillery fungus which are often found growing in wood mulch.
The high resin content in pine needles slows decomposition, eliminating the need to do a full mulching each year. Just a light application each spring to freshen up the look is all you'll need. The beautiful natural appearance of the pine needles blends well into all landscapes.

Project of the Month
A tricky Pond Project
Last months pond project gave our construction crew a bit of a challenge. Our customer wanted a pond along their back patio. As you can see from the image below the sloping lawn away from the patio didn't provide our crew with the level surface they needed to install the pond.
Project area prior to construction
In order to create the level area needed for the project we proposed building a natural stone retaining wall along the back side of the pond. This would help create the level area we needed to install the pond while tying in the pond with the rest of the landscape.
Natural Stone Wall Construction
Now the customer has a great new feature that has transformed their outdoor living space into a tranquil retreat. Not only does the pond provide the soothing sound of splashing water but it also will attract dragonflies, frogs and birds to the customers landscape.
