About the team

Cedar and Stone Landscaping Inc. was founded by the lead carpenter of long running NYC landscaping company Staghorn NYC. When Staghorn decided to narrow its focus to the design aspects of the projects in 2020, Ethan Jernigan and Derrike Price decided to start Cedar and Stone to specialize in bringing landscape designs to reality. Working as Staghorn's sister company and primary contractors, we rely on our combined two decades of experience and close working relationship with our designers to bring our clients the most professional, communicative, and detail oriented landscape installation team in NYC. 

Ethan Jernigan

President

Ethan has over 15 years of carpentry and landscape design experience in North America. His work in Canada has won three national awards from Efficiency Nova Scotia, Clean50, and Sustainable Architecture and Building Magazine. 

Ethan holds a Bachelor of Science in Ecological Restoration and Geography from the University of Victoria, British Columbia. After University, eager to pursue his passion as a builder, he worked his way up to Lead Carpenter at Tekton Design and Build, specializing in the renovation of historic buildings in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Ethan further refined his carpentry skills assisting his sister, a fine wood worker and sculptural artist, on wood sculptures showcased in galleries across Canada and at the United Nations building in NYC. 

When Ethan isn’t building beautiful exteriors, he is spending time with family, in the ocean surfing, or out in nature adventuring with his wife and dog.

Designer - Staghorn NYC

Staghorn NYC is a full-service landscape design firm focusing on creating functional and enduring landscapes for residential clients. Since 2014, we have transformed countless outdoor spaces including rooftop and terraces gardens, as well as front and backyard gardens in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and beyond. 

We believe each outdoor space should serve as a reflection of both you and the rest of your home.To achieve this, we use an approach that is both collaborative and holistic by taking into consideration your home’s unique style, as well as your lifestyle and input. The result is a landscape that looks, feels and functions like a true “outdoor room” of your house - and at last, your home is complete.
