A patio fireplace built through winter and a cobblestone apron designed around a difficult driveway are among the jobs customers describe for Cape Cod Hardscape. The company says it is based in Orleans, serves the Lower Cape and was founded by owner Ryan Brown in 2021. It describes his earlier hardscape experience as more than a decade before starting the business. Its stated work includes patios, driveways, walkways, retaining walls, structural stonework and landscaping. In their May 2026 review, Angela and Joe Ceruti describe a patio fireplace created by Brown and Cape Cod Hardscape. They say the employees worked steadily from November through March, including winter weather and a blizzard that shut down Cape Cod for a week. They praise the craftsmanship, attention to detail and the way the finished space accommodates family and friends. A March 2026 reviewer describes a Truro driveway where tires displaced gravel and rain washed it onto a narrow road. Brown recommended a 12-foot-deep cobblestone apron with a pattern customized to the driveway's shape and width. The customer praised his detailed estimate, schedule updates and care with both the appearance and function of the finished apron. A September 2025 reviewer describes Brown and his crew designing and installing a complex, multi-level patio, praising his responsiveness and attention to detail. Older customers describe work spanning masonry and landscape construction. In an October 2024 review, a Chatham homeowner recounts stone walls, a driveway, a fireplace surround, walkways and patios, including a bluestone walkway and a stone wall with lighting. The customer says Brown communicated daily and worked within the budget and timeline. A September 2024 reviewer describes replacement front steps and a walkway; a June 2024 customer describes driveway pavers and a design change Brown recommended. Another June 2024 reviewer says Brown sent progress photos and updates while the customers were off Cape. That customer describes grading, stone and retaining walls, patio and pool coping, trees and shrubs, and a shell driveway with cobble aprons. They also say drainage systems resolved basement flooding and water issues unrelated to his work, and that he coordinated irrigation, sod, pool, fence and garden-center vendors. In November 2023, a customer describes two replacement brick walkways and cleaning of a brick wall, steps and chimney. A May 2023 reviewer recounts a kidney-shaped patio and two walkways, saying the work stayed on time and budget and ended with cleanup that respected the lawn and plantings.

I found Ryan Brown of Cape Cod Hardscape through an online search, as I was looking to have a custom cobblestone driveway apron designed and installed at our house in Truro. The cobblestone apron needed to be functional as well as visually appealing. Our gravel driveway was problematic since vehicle tires caused the gravel to move and create potholes, while rain sent loose gravel onto our road. Our road is narrow and a dead end, so vehicles only enter by making a left turn onto our long gravel driveway that has an incline, so there was a lot to figure out. Ryan was prompt to return my call and quickly understood the project scope after a site visit. He made a solid and unique recommendation to solve the problem by creating a 12’ deep cobblestone apron with a creative pattern that was customized to our driveway’s shape and width. His estimate was detailed and professional, and he kept me informed seamlessly about the schedule and project details. He spent extra time and care to ensure that we were completely satisfied with the results and that it looked as beautiful as it functioned. I highly recommend Ryan Brown and his talented crew for driveways, patios, and more. He is a pleasure to work with and stands behind his work through to the last details. You can tell from the moment you meet him that he really loves what he does and puts his full energy and vision to create a solution that both Ryan and his clients are thrilled with for years to come.
Ryan Brown from Cape Cod Hardscape did some Masonary work for us and he was outstanding in all aspects! He was meticulous with a very tough masonry project. I would use him anytime for any Masonary work that I had.
Ryan and his talented crew at Cape Cod Hardscape do absolutely beautiful work. Can’t recommend them highly enough. Seriously. This is a special company. They built a complex, multi-level patio for my family that completely transformed our home and our enjoyment of it, and they did so without drama. From design through installation, Ryan was a pleasure to work with — responsive, thoughtful, and super meticulous. He’s a total problem-solver.
I couldn’t be happier with the result of my experience with Cape Cod Hardscape and Ryan Brown. Ryan was responsive and dealt with some existing problems effectively and in a cost effective way. I have already planned some future work based on how well everything was done.
