Fire Features & Outdoor Living in New Canaan, Connecticut.
Modernist landmarks and stone-walled estate acreage. Cleiton Landscape & Masonry hand-builds fire features & outdoor living across New Canaan and Fairfield County — set on stony glacial till over ledge — fieldstone turns up in every excavation, matched to its the Harvard Five modernist houses alongside stone-and-clapboard estates, and built to outlast the New England freeze-thaw.
New Canaan and the towns around it
New Canaan sits in Fairfield County, and most weeks we are somewhere in this pocket of Fairfield County — which means shorter travel, faster site visits, and a crew that already knows how ground behaves around here.
An outdoor room that gets used in New Canaan
A fire feature is what stretches a New Canaan yard from two usable seasons to three. We lay the space out on site first — seat height, circle diameter, how far the chairs sit from the flame, and which way the wind carries smoke across wooded rolling ridges laced with old stone walls — because geometry is what decides whether a fire pit gets used or ignored.
Only once that reads right do we set stone, wrapping the fire with seat walls and terrace so the whole space is designed around where people actually gather.
Outdoor living in New Canaan
New Canaan’s modernist landmarks demand crisp architectural stone, while its estate acreage runs on classic New England wall — we build to whichever the address calls for.
The same crew builds the seat walls, the grill surround, the steps, and the terrace — in God’s Acre, Silvermine, and Ponus Ridge and across town — so the stone matches and one company owns how the finished room reads.
What the work looks like from your window
Most New Canaan homeowners are more worried about the disruption than the stone, and they are right to be. We stage material where it will not kill the lawn, protect the drive and the root zones, and sweep the site at the end of every working day.
Where the stone comes from
Stone varies wildly pallet to pallet, so we select it ourselves. In New Canaan, where the local character runs to the Harvard Five modernist houses alongside stone-and-clapboard estates, getting the color and cleft right matters more than the grade printed on the invoice.

Questions
Fire Features & Outdoor Living in New Canaan, answered.
Usually, yes. We hand-select from regional yards to match color, cleft, and scale against what is already on the property — which matters in New Canaan, where the the Harvard Five modernist houses alongside stone-and-clapboard estates tend to be added to over time rather than replaced.
New Canaan’s modernist landmarks demand crisp architectural stone, while its estate acreage runs on classic New England wall — we build to whichever the address calls for. We handle the local checks that go with that as part of the project rather than leaving them to you.
Yes. Cleiton Landscape & Masonry builds fire features & outdoor living throughout New Canaan — from God’s Acre, Silvermine, and Ponus Ridge — and across Fairfield County, and has since 2008. We’re licensed and insured, we work across Connecticut, and we build from architectural plans with millimeter precision.
Wooded rolling ridges laced with old stone walls on stony glacial till over ledge — fieldstone turns up in every excavation. That governs how we found and drain everything we build here — a proper base and drainage go in before a single stone is set, which is what keeps New Canaan stonework flat, plumb, and intact through freeze-thaw.
