Patios · North Andover, MA
Patios in North Andover, Massachusetts.
Building patios in North Andover starts underground, on dense glacial till over drumlin cores. Estate homes above Lake Cochichewick and antique colonials in the Old Center, where stonework is expected to read as original to the grounds. We hand-set every stone to suit the brick and stone estate colonials above the lake of merrimack Valley, and we build it to still be plumb in thirty years.
Problems We Solve
Common patios problems in North Andover — solved.
A patio that heaves, settles, or pops its joints every winter.
That’s a base that was never engineered. We excavate to depth, compact in lifts, and pitch it to drain so it stays dead flat.
Plenty of yard, but no real outdoor room.
We design the terrace, seat walls, and fire feature as one space, built around how you’ll actually use it.
Pavers that already look tired.
Full-color bluestone and granite over a proper base outlast pavers and only look better with age.

Where the stone comes from
Stone varies wildly pallet to pallet, so we select it ourselves. In North Andover, where the local character runs to brick and stone estate colonials above the lake, getting the color and cleft right matters more than the grade printed on the invoice.
Patios in North Andover, done right
Lake Cochichewick is North Andover's public drinking-water supply, so the watershed around it carries strict conservation and drainage review — exactly the scrutiny our drainage-first builds are made for.
We routinely build patios straight from a landscape architect’s plan, often alongside Jonathan Keep Landscape Design, and give you a real schedule up front — then keep it.
The honest numbers for North Andover
We would rather explain the number than defend it. In North Andover, the swing factors are access, excavation depth over dense glacial till over drumlin cores, 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.
Stone chosen for a North Andover 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 brick and stone estate colonials above the lake, First Period antiques near the Old Center, and gentleman's-farm houses on Great Pond Road of North Andover, 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 Old Center, Machine Shop Village, and Lake Cochichewick or anywhere in town.
Beyond North Andover
North Andover sits in Essex County, and most weeks we are somewhere in this pocket of Merrimack Valley — which means shorter travel, faster site visits, and a crew that already knows how ground behaves around here.

Questions
Patios in North Andover, answered.
Yes. Cleiton Landscape & Masonry builds patios throughout North Andover — from Old Center, Machine Shop Village, and Lake Cochichewick — and across Merrimack Valley, and has since 2008. We’re licensed and insured, we work across Massachusetts, and we build from architectural plans with millimeter precision.
Lake Cochichewick is North Andover's public drinking-water supply, so the watershed around it carries strict conservation and drainage review — exactly the scrutiny our drainage-first builds are made for. We handle the local checks that go with that as part of the project rather than leaving them to you.
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.
Rolling drumlins and wooded upland around Lake Cochichewick, the town's own water supply, with long estate frontages along Great Pond Road on dense glacial till over drumlin cores, with ledge surfacing on the higher ground, so footing and drainage are engineered lot by lot. 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 North Andover stonework flat, plumb, and intact through freeze-thaw.
