Full-Service Landscaping for Every Cape Cod Property
Every project starts with a conversation about your property and how you want to use it. The same team then carries it through design, construction, and the care that follows.
Landscape Design & Construction
Landscape design on Cape Cod has to handle salt air, sandy soil, and local permitting, and every Ponderosa design accounts for all three.
- Custom landscape plans built around your property and lifestyle
- Permitting and representation before conservation commissions and historic districts
- Grading, drainage, planting, and driveway construction, all in-house
Custom Stonework
Ponderosa’s in-house masons handle every kind of stonework a Cape property calls for.
- Fieldstone, bluestone, granite, and sandstone walls, walks, and patios
- Outdoor kitchens, fire pits, and fireplace or chimney work
- Permeable pavers and paving systems built for Cape winters
Custom Fabrication
The crew also handles custom fabrication, made to fit your property and the people who live there.
- Custom wrought-iron railings and handrails
- Aging-in-place accessibility solutions
- One-off pieces built to your specifications
Coastal Conservation
Waterfront and wetland-adjacent properties come with regulations and by-laws most landscapers rarely deal with. Ponderosa works with all the local conservation commissions to protect wetland resources while achieving each client’s goals.
- Dune and bank restoration, drift-fencing, and native coastal planting
- Invasive species removal and long-term management
- Rain gardens, cisterns, and water-recycling drainage solutions
Lawn Care & Maintenance
Ponderosa offers lawn care on Cape Cod as a standalone service, with one-time clean-ups and full-season plans for homes across the mid and lower Cape.
- Spring and fall clean-ups, mowing, fertilization, and weed control
- Aeration, thatching, and complete lawn care packages
- Irrigation start-up, shutdown, and repairs, plus winter plant protection
Our Process
Site Visit & Discovery
The team walks your property with you, notes mature trees, soil, and any conservation requirements, and talks through the kind of help you need.
Custom Design & Estimate
You get a design and an itemized estimate based on your property and budget, so you know the cost before work starts.
Construction & Ongoing Care
An in-house crew handles the installation. Ongoing maintenance is available afterward if you want it.
Picture it. We'll build it.
Every Ponderosa project starts on your property, with the team walking the land beside you and talking through what you'd like it to become.
Direct Standing With Conservation Boards
Some Ponderosa team members sit on the Cape’s coastal and conservation commissions, so projects near wetlands, dunes, or the shoreline are planned around what the boards expect from day one.

What Cape Cod Homeowners Say
FAQs
What does landscaping cost on Cape Cod?
It depends on your property size, site conditions, materials, and any permitting the project needs. After a site visit, the team gives you an itemized estimate so you see the cost before work begins.
Does Ponderosa handle both lawn care and larger landscape construction projects?
Yes. Ponderosa’s landscape construction on Cape Cod covers stonework, grading, drainage, planting, and driveways, and its maintenance team handles lawn care, clean-ups, and irrigation. You can hire the team for one or both.
Is lawn care available as an ongoing service, or only alongside a landscaping project?
You can book it on its own, one-time or season-long. Ponderosa’s lawn service on Cape Cod includes mowing, fertilization, weed control, aeration, and spring and fall clean-ups.
How to prep for landscaping?
Think about how you want to use the space, save photos of ideas you like, and note any drainage or erosion issues. From there, the Ponderosa team works through the details with you, including permitting if your property sits near wetlands or the shoreline.
What are the four main types of landscapes?
Landscapes are often grouped into formal, informal, native, and low-water (xeriscape) styles. Many Cape Cod properties lean native, since native plants handle salt air and sandy soil and are often required near conservation areas.
