Royal Landscaping & Masonry Inc.

Royal Landscaping & Masonry works out of South Dennis, and the reviews that describe real projects keep landing on the same thing: stonework. A front walkway, steps and patio rebuilt from scratch, a hardscape patio with pavers finished in two days, a driveway laid in stone — the crew, run by Valber, shows up in account after account for exactly that kind of build, not just routine yard care. The rest of the calendar is filled with the ordinary landscaping work a Cape Cod yard needs — weekly mowing, brush and branch cleanup, hedge trimming, seasonal cleanups. One customer's garden and hydrangeas, planted years before, were still thriving when they wrote back to say so. Across 37 reviews from 2022 through this month spread over Google, Angi, HomeAdvisor and Thumbtack, the last six months alone brought a dozen new ones — a hedge-trim job, a from-scratch patio, a paver walkway — with the same details repeating: fast quotes, crews that showed up when they said they would, patios finished faster than the customer expected. Three accounts break that pattern, spaced years apart. A May 2026 review describes messages going unanswered and a no-show. Two older ones — from 2023 and 2024 — describe late arrivals and, in one case, Valber pressing hard for payment while a customer's family was dealing with a hospital stay. That's a small slice of the record, but specific enough to ask about directly: get a written start date and a plan for what happens if the crew runs late. For a hardscape job — a patio, a walkway, a stone driveway — or straightforward lawn maintenance, the pattern here is a crew whose stonework and yard work both hold up in the retelling.
