Landscape & Hardscape · Beverly, MA
Landscape & Hardscape in Beverly, Massachusetts.
Beverly is granite coastal headlands and sheltered coves along the Atlantic, rising to wooded ledge and rolling uplands inland, and that shapes every decision here. We build landscape & hardscape on thin soil over hard Cape Ann granite ledge, detailed for the shingle-style and stone-and-shingle seaside estates through Beverly Farms and Prides Crossing they sit beside — hand-set, drainage-first, and made to look like they were always part of the property.

For Beverly designers and architects
A large share of our Massachusetts work is executing drawings for landscape architects — reading elevations, holding the specified batter and joint, and flagging a conflict before it becomes a change order. Much of it in ongoing collaboration with Jonathan Keep Landscape Design.
The honest numbers for Beverly
Price in Beverly is driven less by the stone than by what is under it. Access, how far material has to be carried, the depth of base thin soil over hard Cape Ann granite ledge demands, and the amount of drainage a site needs move a number far more than the choice between one bluestone and another.
You get an itemized scope after we walk the property — what is included, what is not, and where the money actually goes. No allowances that quietly become change orders halfway through.
The whole Beverly property, built as one
Sometimes the project is not a wall or a patio — it is the whole site. On granite coastal headlands and sheltered coves along the Atlantic, rising to wooded ledge and rolling uplands inland, we take a property from rough grade to finished landscape: drainage and earthwork first, because a landscape that fights water never looks settled, then stonework, plantings, and the details that make a yard feel resolved.
Working over thin soil over hard Cape Ann granite ledge, so terraces are often pinned and drained against rock rather than dug into deep earth, we start under the surface so the finished Beverly property sheds water, stays dry where it should, and never undermines the stonework above it.
Sourcing stone for Beverly
Stone varies wildly pallet to pallet, so we select it ourselves. In Beverly, where the local character runs to shingle-style and stone-and-shingle seaside estates through Beverly Farms and Prides Crossing, getting the color and cleft right matters more than the grade printed on the invoice.
Stone and softscape, together
Walls, patios, walkways, steps, and planting beds succeed when one crew builds them in the right sequence. We coordinate the hardscape and the softscape so the stone frames the plantings and the plantings soften the stone — tuned to the shingle-style and stone-and-shingle seaside estates through Beverly Farms and Prides Crossing, with grand colonials on the older inland streets of Beverly Farms, Prides Crossing, and Montserrat and the wider North Shore.
It is the difference between a resolved landscape and two trades fighting over the same ground.
Questions
Landscape & Hardscape in Beverly, answered.
Constantly. A large share of our work is executing plans for landscape architects and designers. We build precisely to the drawing and keep the designer informed at every milestone.
Granite coastal headlands and sheltered coves along the Atlantic, rising to wooded ledge and rolling uplands inland on thin soil over hard Cape Ann granite ledge, so terraces are often pinned and drained against rock rather than dug into deep earth. 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 Beverly stonework flat, plumb, and intact through freeze-thaw.
Yes. Cleiton Landscape & Masonry builds landscape & hardscape throughout Beverly — from Beverly Farms, Prides Crossing, and Montserrat — and across North Shore, and has since 2008. We’re licensed and insured, we work across Massachusetts, and we build from architectural plans with millimeter precision.
Most residential work runs one to three weeks on site, depending on size, access, and how much excavation thin soil over hard Cape Ann granite ledge demands. You get a real schedule before we start, and we hold it — including the clean-up at the end of each day.
