Fire Features & Outdoor Living in Stonington, Connecticut.
A historic borough on a point in Little Narragansett Bay. Cleiton Landscape & Masonry hand-builds fire features & outdoor living across Stonington and Connecticut Shoreline — set on thin soil over ledge, matched to its colonial-era borough houses and shingled point estates, and built to outlast the New England freeze-thaw.
Outdoor living in Stonington
Stonington Borough is a historic-district point with water on three sides — period-correct stone above, storm-grade construction below the surface.
The same crew builds the seat walls, the grill surround, the steps, and the terrace — in Stonington Borough, Wamphassuc, and Lords Point and across town — so the stone matches and one company owns how the finished room reads.
How a Stonington project runs
The part nobody photographs: where the pallets sit, where the excavator tracks, and what the property looks like on a Friday afternoon. In Stonington we plan all of that up front and hold the schedule we gave you at the start.
For Stonington designers and architects
Designers keep sending us Connecticut Shoreline work for one reason: what gets built matches what was drawn. We hold the spec, raise conflicts early, and document as we go — including on the Jonathan Keep Landscape Design projects throughout this portfolio.
Choosing material that suits Stonington
Stone varies wildly pallet to pallet, so we select it ourselves. In Stonington, where the local character runs to colonial-era borough houses and shingled point estates, getting the color and cleft right matters more than the grade printed on the invoice.
Built to take real fire, for real years
A fire feature is a masonry structure, not decoration. We build on a footing carried below frost — which on thin soil over ledge, salt-exposed on the open point means going deeper than most expect — and line the core so the visible fieldstone or granite never takes the thermal punishment directly. That is why ours do not spall and crack after two winters.
Wood, gas, or a fire bowl: we run sleeves and gas lines during the build, and face the feature to suit the colonial-era borough houses and shingled point estates it belongs to.

Questions
Fire Features & Outdoor Living in Stonington, answered.
Yes. Cleiton Landscape & Masonry builds fire features & outdoor living throughout Stonington — from Stonington Borough, Wamphassuc, and Lords Point — and across Connecticut Shoreline, and has since 2008. We’re licensed and insured, we work across Connecticut, and we build from architectural plans with millimeter precision.
A granite point of borough streets surrounded by water on thin soil over ledge, salt-exposed on the open point. 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 Stonington stonework flat, plumb, and intact through freeze-thaw.
Stonington Borough is a historic-district point with water on three sides — period-correct stone above, storm-grade construction below the surface. We handle the local checks that go with that as part of the project rather than leaving them to you.
A hand-built natural-stone fire pit generally runs $4,000 to $12,000+ depending on size, stone, whether it is wood or gas, and the seat walls and terrace built around it. A fire bowl or gas feature set into a larger terrace is priced with that scope.
