Ponderosa Landscaping

Retaining walls, stairways and walkways were among the projects a Ponderosa customer described in a July 2016 Houzz review. The homeowner said the company had worked on several such projects around their property and also provided weekly and seasonal maintenance. They praised the results while saying the work was not inexpensive. Ponderosa says it is a family-run Eastham landscape design, construction, masonry and maintenance company serving Cape Cod's Lower and Outer Cape for more than 40 years. Its website names Paul Moore as founder and manager and describes an on-site garden center and staff involvement in coastal conservation. The site gives its beginnings as 1979 in job postings and 1980 in Moore's team biography. BBB lists the company under Ponderosa Landscaping & Stoneworks, with alternate names Saint Aubin Nurseries and Saint Aubin Equipment Center, and locations in Eastham and South Dennis. Other customers described landscape installation and care in dated accounts. A July 2016 reviewer credited Charles Wentz, Brian, Ron and Romerio with designing and creating a Japanese garden. In June 2016, a homeowner said Ponderosa installed an underground sprinkler system, removed overgrown ivy, pruned trees and fertilized the lawn.

A customer writing in October 2019 praised the care taken with tree trimming and recommended Ali for that work. New England Home credited Ponderosa with landscape design in a June 2019 article. The garden center has drawn its own customer comments. In June 2023, a shopper looking for shrubs, perennials and color ahead of a July event said the staff helped choose colors for different areas of the property. A May 2024 reviewer praised the friendliness and selection of locally grown plants, flowers and vegetables. A January 2026 customer praised Ali Thompson and prices and deals. A September 2015 Google reviewer reported making four calls for an irrigation quote without receiving a callback.
