Moriah Masonry & Landscaping installs stone veneer, patios, walls, walkways, and stone entries in Mashpee, MA, operating out of South Yarmouth, about 15 miles away, with Ademir Reine on-site for every estimate. Sandy Upper Cape soil, salt air off Popponesset Bay and Waquoit Bay, and hard freeze-thaw cycles demand a substrate that was prepared correctly before a single stone goes up. We back every surface with the right bonding system, drainage detail, and compacted base so veneer stays tight and flat for years. Rated 4.8 stars across 24 Google reviews. Every project starts with a free on-site estimate and carries a three-year workmanship warranty.

Ademir on-site for every estimate in Mashpee
Mashpee sits on the Upper Cape, roughly fifteen miles from our base, with Mashpee-Wakeby Pond to the north and Popponesset Bay and Waquoit Bay along its south shore. That geography means masonry here lives between freshwater moisture and salt air, two conditions that punish any base that was not built with proper drainage and compaction. We build for what Cape Cod soils and Cape Cod winters actually do to hardscape.
Natural and manufactured stone veneer applied to foundation walls, retaining walls, columns, and exterior facades. We prep the substrate correctly so the veneer holds through Cape Cod freeze-thaw cycles rather than cracking away at the joints. View stone veneer installation
Paver and bluestone patio installation over a properly excavated and compacted base, plus seat walls, garden walls, and retaining structures built with drainage behind them. Fieldstone, segmental block, and natural stone are all available. View patio installation
Paver and bluestone walkways, outdoor steps, stone veneer columns, and cobblestone edging for Mashpee properties. Every entry receives the same excavation depth and base treatment we apply to a full patio. Explore entry work
The base is built right the first time so the stone stays put.
One crew for the hard surfaces and the green around them, so the patio, the planting beds and the upkeep are not three different companies blaming each other.

Seat walls, garden walls and structural walls, with the drainage and reinforcement the height calls for.
Retaining Walls
Settlement, open joints and cracked work repointed, reset or rebuilt after we see what the base is doing.
Masonry Repair
Paver and bluestone patios, pool surrounds and driveways over a compacted base that drains.
Patios & Paving
Natural and manufactured veneer on foundations, chimneys, columns and outdoor kitchens.
Stone Veneer
Granite and bluestone steps, landings and entries set on footings that hold through frost heave.
Steps & Stone Entries
Brick and block structures, piers, steps and foundations, laid and pointed for freeze and thaw.
Brick & Block Work
Planting beds, grading, edging and stone work planned together rather than bolted on afterwards.
Landscaping

Leaf and debris clearing, beds cut back to a clean edge, haul-away the same day.
Spring & Fall Cleanups
Site assessment, layout, drainage routing and material selection settled on paper before anything is dug.

These are typical installed ranges for Mashpee and the surrounding Upper Cape towns in 2026. Where a project lands inside a range depends on the conditions we find on site, which is why every number below is followed by the things that actually move it.
| Work | Typical range in Mashpee (2026) | What moves the price |
|---|---|---|
| Stone veneer installation | $15 to $45 per sq ft | Stone type, panel versus individual units, substrate condition, and whether a weather barrier and scratch coat are needed. |
| Paver patio | $15 to $35 per sq ft | Patio size, paver line, base depth over sandy Cape soil, and access for machinery. |
| Walkway and stone entry | $12 to $28 per sq ft | Length, material, number of curves and steps, and how much grading the run needs. |
| Retaining wall | $15 to $50 per sq ft | Wall height, whether geogrid reinforcement is required, drainage proximity to ponds or wetlands, and excavation depth. |
| Outdoor steps | $150 to $900 per step | Poured concrete at the low end, natural granite at the high end, plus railing and landing work. |
| Concrete masonry | $9 to $18 per sq ft | Slab thickness, reinforcement, finish, and whether existing material has to come out first. |
Ranges are a starting point for planning, not a quote. Sandy soil, proximity to Popponesset Bay, Waquoit Bay, or Mashpee-Wakeby Pond, and wetland setback requirements can all affect where a project lands. We price the actual project after walking the property.
Wall height, proximity to wetlands, and closeness to Mashpee-Wakeby Pond, Popponesset Bay or Waquoit Bay all affect whether the Town of Mashpee requires a permit and whether conservation review applies. We check the address at the estimate stage so the answer is ready before any work is scheduled.
Natural stone and fieldstone for walls meant to sit quietly in the landscape. Segmental block where the grade change is larger and the structure has to carry real load. Timber and railroad tie walls typically come to us for replacement rather than repair, because water shortens their service life and the failure usually starts at the base.
Crushed stone behind the wall, a base excavated and compacted below frost depth, and a drain routed somewhere that handles water. Taller walls and walls holding a slope back require geogrid set into the compacted backfill so the wall and the soil behind it behave as a single mass. Skipping that step is the most common reason a wall eventually leans forward.
We identify at the quoting stage whether your Mashpee address brings the Town or the Conservation Commission into the process. That way the permitting picture is clear before anything is scheduled and there are no surprises mid-project.
Much of the masonry we are called to assess on the Upper Cape is not failing because of the stone or the veneer. It is failing because the base beneath it was never prepared to handle freeze-thaw movement and the wet conditions that come with proximity to Mashpee-Wakeby Pond, Popponesset Bay, and Waquoit Bay. A repair that only resets the surface puts the same problem back within a few seasons.
Patios that have settled or cracked, walls that have started to lean, mortar joints that have opened, steps that have loosened or lifted, and stone veneer that has separated at the joint. Full detail on masonry repair and maintenance.
A wall that moved because water had nowhere to drain can often come down and go back up using the same stone. One that has lost its base entirely needs the base rebuilt first, and the stone is the cheaper half of that job. We tell you which situation you are in before the work is scheduled, not after.
Repointing and brick and block repair require mortar matched to what is already in the wall, because a harder mix damages the surrounding units as the wall moves through freeze-thaw cycles. See brick and block work.
Confirm permit requirements and wetland setback rules with the Town of Mashpee before the project is scheduled, not after the crew is on-site.
Permit requirements in Mashpee depend on the scope of the work, where the project sits on the lot, and how close it falls to wetlands, ponds or the bays. The Town of Mashpee is the authority for building permits and for work near Mashpee-Wakeby Pond, Popponesset Bay, Waquoit Bay, and any other protected resource area. Masonry work can fall under those requirements depending on its scale and location.
The Town of Mashpee handles building permits for construction, reconstruction, alteration and repair of structures. Stone veneer installations, retaining walls, patios and stone entries can each trigger a permit requirement depending on scope, setbacks and the specifics of the lot.
Properties near Mashpee-Wakeby Pond, Popponesset Bay or Waquoit Bay may require a separate review before work begins near those resource areas. The Town of Mashpee is the authority on those thresholds. We identify proximity concerns during planning so the right approvals are in place before the crew arrives.
We address the permit question during the estimate and planning stage. If your project or your address triggers a review requirement, we flag it before work is scheduled so required approvals are in place and there are no surprises once construction begins.
Confirm the permit requirements and any waterfront or wetland rules before the project is scheduled, not after the crew is on-site.
Mashpee sits between Mashpee-Wakeby Pond to the north and Popponesset Bay and Waquoit Bay to the south. That proximity to freshwater and saltwater means the Town of Mashpee is the authority for building permits and for any work near wetlands, ponds or the bays. We account for that before a single stone is moved.
Most exterior masonry work in Mashpee, including stone veneer, retaining walls, patios and entry steps, falls under the jurisdiction of the Town of Mashpee building department. Properties near Mashpee-Wakeby Pond, Popponesset Bay or Waquoit Bay may also be subject to wetland review before construction can begin. We identify those requirements at the quoting stage so there are no scheduling surprises later.
Work near a pond or bay in Mashpee may require a separate wetland review in addition to a standard building permit. Those are two distinct processes handled by different authorities. We plan our scope and material staging around both so the project moves forward without interruption once approvals are in place.
We flag permit and wetland requirements at the quoting stage for every Mashpee address. We work within the town process and know what is needed to keep the project on schedule.
From stone veneer installations to full masonry builds, our customers across the Cape value careful workmanship, honest communication and a crew that treats every property with respect.

"We have had Moriah Landscaping help us with our yard for 2 years now. The workers are respectful, and listen to what we need done and it is such a relief to have their help in making our yard beautiful!"
"Excellent work carried out by great people; everything was done with great excellence and care. I recommend them to everyone I know who is looking to hire a landscaping company that truly cares about their garden."
Natural veneer is quarried stone cut thin. Manufactured veneer is a coloured concrete casting taken from moulds of real stone. Natural costs more, weighs more, and no two pieces repeat, so it reads as stone from any distance. Manufactured is lighter, cheaper, faster to set and comes in repeating shapes, which is visible up close on a long run and in how the colour weathers. Both work on Cape Cod when the wall behind them is right. We quote whichever suits the elevation and the budget, and we tell you which one you are looking at.
Not directly, no. Veneer needs a solid, clean substrate, a weather-resistant barrier, metal lath fixed into sound material, and a scratch coat for the stone to bond to. Straight onto bare block or onto a face that is already spalling, the veneer will come away with whatever it was stuck to. We open up and check what is behind the surface first, because a wall that is holding water or crumbling has to be repaired before anything is faced, and that is the part that decides whether it is still sound in ten winters.
It depends on what is being built and where it sits on the lot. The Town of Mashpee is the authority for building permits and for anything in a wetland buffer, and the answer changes with the height of a wall, its position relative to a boundary, and how close the work is to water. We tell you at the site visit which filings your project needs and who issues them, so the schedule is built around the real answer rather than an assumption.
Often yes. Under the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act, work within 100 feet of a wetland resource area sits in the buffer zone and is filed with the local Conservation Commission. Mashpee has Mashpee-Wakeby Pond inland and Popponesset and Waquoit Bays on the south shore, so a great many lots here fall inside that 100 feet. The Town of Mashpee is the authority on what your specific lot needs. We measure the distance before we price the work rather than after.
Yes, and you should. Massachusetts requires residential contractors to carry a Home Improvement Contractor registration, and permitted structural work requires a Construction Supervisor License. Both numbers are searchable through state databases. A legitimate contractor lists them on the written contract before any work begins. We carry our registration numbers on every contract we issue in Mashpee and across the service area. Contact us to Get a Quote.
We work out of South Yarmouth, about 15 miles from Mashpee. Crews leave the yard early and reach Upper Cape job sites without the long staging delays that come from a more distant base.
