    Less than 10 feet from a house may be a little too close, but cedars are usually less damaging than deciduous trees would be. It does depend on the mature size of the particular cedar variety you have, but most types of cedars shouldn't cause damage in this situation.

    I would first determine if you are in zones 5b through 10a for a Lebanon Cedar.
    Full sun with well draining soil is needed.
    These species are difficult to transplant, so either start from seed or small seedlings.
    They are slow growing and can reach up to 100 feet in height.

    You may only want one of the big trees in your park!

    Mature height is 30 to 35 feet
    Width 8 to 12 feet
    Growth rate is moderate.
    Best to plant in full sun for a nice full specimen.
    No serious disease or issues with pests.
    Winter damage is minimal with this variety.
    Fertilize in early spring and again in fall with a balanced 10-10-10 fertilizer.

    There is no way to reverse the damage from salt, but flushing the area will help the issue from continuing.
