Patios · Meredith, NH
Patios in Meredith, New Hampshire.
Meredith is steep bay frontage dropping from wooded hills to the water, and that shapes every decision here. We build patios on stony till over granite ledge, detailed for the shingled lake houses and hillside homes oriented to the water they sit beside — hand-set, drainage-first, and made to look like they were always part of the property.
What patios cost in Meredith
We would rather explain the number than defend it. In Meredith, the swing factors are access, excavation depth over stony till over granite ledge, drainage, and protection of what is already growing on the property — the stone itself is rarely the deciding line.
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.
Meredith and the towns around it
Meredith sits in Belknap County, and most weeks we are somewhere in this pocket of Lakes Region — which means shorter travel, faster site visits, and a crew that already knows how ground behaves around here.
Sourcing stone for Meredith
We buy from New England quarries and yards we have used for years, and we hand-pick rather than take a pallet sight unseen. For Meredith, that usually means matching color and texture to the shingled lake houses and hillside homes oriented to the water already on the street.
In Meredith, the base is the whole job
Everything you will think about a Meredith patio in ten years is decided in the first two days, before a stone is set. Because the land here is stony till over granite ledge, thin on the steeper lake lots, we excavate to depth, compact a structural base in lifts, and pitch it precisely so water runs away from the house — not toward it.
On steep bay frontage dropping from wooded hills to the water, that discipline is what keeps a bluestone surface dead flat and the joints tight through freeze-thaw, year after year.
Stone chosen for a Meredith home
Full-color bluestone, thermal or natural cleft, granite, irregular flagstone — each carries a different mood. We help you choose the stone and pattern that belong to the shingled lake houses and hillside homes oriented to the water of Meredith, then dry-lay and adjust on site so the cuts at the edges and around features look intentional, not left over.
Fire features, seat walls, steps, and lighting are designed in from the start, so the finished space reads as one outdoor room rather than a patio with add-ons — whether it sits in Meredith Bay, Meredith Neck, and Waukewan or anywhere in town.
Questions
Patios in Meredith, answered.
A natural-stone patio in MetroWest typically runs $30 to $60+ per square foot installed, driven by stone choice, base depth, site access, and features like fire pits or seat walls. Bluestone over a fully engineered base sits at the higher end — and is what lasts.
Usually, yes. We hand-select from regional yards to match color, cleft, and scale against what is already on the property — which matters in Meredith, where the shingled lake houses and hillside homes oriented to the water tend to be added to over time rather than replaced.
Yes. Cleiton Landscape & Masonry builds patios throughout Meredith — from Meredith Bay, Meredith Neck, and Waukewan — and across Lakes Region, and has since 2008. We’re licensed and insured, we work across New Hampshire, 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 stony till over 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.
