Landscape & Hardscape · Wellesley, MA
Landscape & Hardscape in Wellesley, Massachusetts.
Considered homes where a bluestone terrace or fieldstone wall is part of the architecture, not an add-on. Cleiton Landscape & Masonry hand-builds landscape & hardscape across Wellesley and MetroWest — set on dense glacial till that holds water, matched to its brick and stone colonials, Tudors, and center-entrance estates with formal grounds, and built to outlast the New England freeze-thaw.

Budgeting landscape & hardscape in Wellesley
Price in Wellesley is driven less by the stone than by what is under it. Access, how far material has to be carried, the depth of base dense glacial till that holds water 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.
How a Wellesley 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 Wellesley we plan all of that up front and hold the schedule we gave you at the start.
The whole Wellesley property, built as one
Sometimes the project is not a wall or a patio — it is the whole site. On rolling drumlins and mature, established landscapes, 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 dense glacial till that holds water, so drainage detailing behind walls and beneath patios is non-negotiable, we start under the surface so the finished Wellesley property sheds water, stays dry where it should, and never undermines the stonework above it.
Our footprint around Wellesley
Wellesley sits in Norfolk County, and most weeks we are somewhere in this pocket of MetroWest — which means shorter travel, faster site visits, and a crew that already knows how ground behaves around here.
The crew Wellesley designers trust
Wellesley properties tend to carry decades of mature planting — we work tight to specimen trees and existing grades so new stone reads as original to the house.
On full-site projects we are frequently the execution crew for landscape architects and designers — much of our MetroWest work in ongoing collaboration with Jonathan Keep Landscape Design. We read plans fluently, flag conflicts before they become change orders, and build exactly what was drawn.
Questions
Landscape & Hardscape in Wellesley, 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.
Usually, yes. We hand-select from regional yards to match color, cleft, and scale against what is already on the property — which matters in Wellesley, where the brick and stone colonials tend to be added to over time rather than replaced.
Most residential work runs one to three weeks on site, depending on size, access, and how much excavation dense glacial till that holds water demands. You get a real schedule before we start, and we hold it — including the clean-up at the end of each day.
Both. We can take a property from grading through final planting, or come in for the masonry scope alongside other trades. We will scope it whichever way serves the project.
