Poughkeepsie Landscaping Experts

Poughkeepsie gives homeowners and property managers a little bit of everything: historic neighborhoods, busy commercial properties, river views, estate grounds, and plenty of properties that need smart outdoor planning to handle Hudson Valley weather. From spring cleanup and planting to patios, grading, and mulch installation, we help clients in Poughkeepsie keep their properties looking sharp and functioning the way they should.

At Red Cedar Landscapes, Inc, we bring more than 40 years of hands-on experience to outdoor projects across the Hudson Valley. We’re a family-owned company with a 28-person team, a fleet of over 30 trucks and machines, and a simple way of doing business: clear communication, proper prep, and quality work that lasts. If you want a premium landscape company that shows up prepared and respects your property, we’re ready to help.

Outdoor work built for Poughkeepsie properties

Poughkeepsie properties deal with changing seasons, wet ground, drainage issues, slope challenges, and wear from heavy use. That’s why we do more than make a yard look nice. We build and maintain outdoor spaces that work well over time. Our crew plans for grading, base prep, drainage, and long-term performance from the start.

Whether you own a home near downtown, manage a commercial site, or take care of a larger property in the surrounding area, we tailor the work to your site conditions, goals, and budget.

Why Poughkeepsie clients choose Red Cedar

We’ve been doing this since 1987, and we still believe outdoor work should be handled the right way. That means honest recommendations, reliable scheduling, and clean craftsmanship from start to finish. Steve Relyea built Red Cedar the old-school way, and that mindset still drives how we work today.

• Proper equipment: Our fleet helps us work efficiently and complete projects with less disruption.
• Straightforward communication: You’ll know what’s happening, what comes next, and what it takes to do the job right.
• Long-term results: We focus on outdoor spaces that hold up, not quick fixes that fail after one season.

Our process is simple

Most projects start with a call. You can share your ideas, dimensions, photos, or even a simple sketch. We’ll review the details, talk through options, and give you a rough cost range. If needed, we’ll schedule a site visit in Poughkeepsie to look at the property in person and put together a formal quote.

After approval, we schedule the work based on the project scope, weather, and site conditions. For services like mulch delivery and installation, we confirm the quantity, access, and timing. For patios, hardscaping, and larger landscape projects, we make sure the plan fits the site and the finished result performs the way it should.
