Landscaping Services for Chatham MA Properties
We shape every plan around your input, your lifestyle, and your budget, covering landscape design, stonework, maintenance, and conservation work.
Landscape Design & Construction
Design, permitting, and construction stay under one roof with us.
• Custom landscape plans built around how the property is used
• Permitting support for conservation commissions and historic districts
• Grading, drainage, and planting handled by the same crew that designed it
Custom Stonework
Our masonry team takes on every kind of stonework, including:
• Fieldstone, bluestone, granite, and sandstone walls, walks, and patios
• Outdoor kitchens, fire pits, and fireplace and chimney work
• Permeable pavers, paving systems, and custom fabrication, including wrought-iron railings
Coastal Conservation
Conservation work runs through our team directly, covering:
• Coastal bank protection, dune restoration, and drift-fencing for dune stabilization
• Invasive species removal and management
• Rain gardens, cisterns, water recycling, and drainage solutions
Specialty Services for Chatham MA Properties
In addition to design, stonework, and conservation work, we take on several specialty projects:
Coastal Landscaping
Our plant material is native and coastal-suited, chosen to match each property’s exposure.
Patio Design
The patios we build use bluestone, granite, sandstone, fieldstone, or travertine, all through our in-house masonry team.
Outdoor Kitchens
We build outdoor kitchens alongside fire pits and grill stations, all through the same in-house crew that handles our stonework.
Irrigation Systems
We handle irrigation start-up, shutdown, and repairs year-round for properties that aren’t occupied full-time, including battery-operated timers and soaker hose installs.
Landscape Lighting Design
We plan lighting into the hardscape and planting design from the start, adding visibility along walkways and outdoor living spaces after dark.
Our Process for Chatham MA Estates
1
Site Visit & Discovery
First, we walk the property to assess conservation requirements and site conditions, and settle on a one-time project or an ongoing maintenance plan.
2
Custom Design & Estimate
Next, we build a design and an itemized estimate that reflects the standard our clients expect, so you know the cost before work starts.
3
Construction & Ongoing Care
To finish, our in-house crew handles installation from masonry to planting. You can choose ongoing maintenance once the project wraps.
We've been serving the area for over 40 years, so we know what Cape Cod properties need.

FAQs
What's the cost of landscaping services in Chatham MA?
Pricing depends on scope, and Chatham’s waterfront estates often call for more extensive stonework and design work. Ponderosa Landscaping visits every property and provides a written estimate before any work starts.
What's the right way to vet a landscaping company in Chatham?
Look for experience with high-end waterfront estates, not just a plant list. Ponderosa Landscaping’s crews are OSHA-trained and licensed, and the team has built decades of standing with Cape Cod conservation boards from its Eastham base.
Can Ponderosa Landscaping take on waterfront projects in Chatham?
Yes, this is a large part of our work here. Properties facing the Atlantic, Nantucket Sound, or Pleasant Bay in Chatham regularly need conservation-commission permitting, native plantings, and bank protection.
