Ogunquit is a rocky headland between Marginal Way and the tidal Ogunquit River, and that shapes every decision here. We build patios on granite ledge and thin soil, detailed for the shingled coastal cottages and artist estates above the sea they sit beside — hand-set, drainage-first, and made to look like they were always part of the property.
Problems We Solve
Common patios problems in Ogunquit — 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.

Stone chosen for a Ogunquit 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 coastal cottages and artist estates above the sea of Ogunquit, 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 Marginal Way, Perkins Cove, and Israel Head or anywhere in town.
What the work looks like from your window
The part nobody photographs: where the pallets sit, where the excavator tracks, and what the property looks like on a Friday afternoon. In Ogunquit we plan all of that up front and hold the schedule we gave you at the start.
What patios cost in Ogunquit
Price in Ogunquit is driven less by the stone than by what is under it. Access, how far material has to be carried, the depth of base granite ledge and thin soil 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.
Patios in Ogunquit, done right
Ogunquit’s Marginal Way runs the length of an open-ocean headland — the ledge is the foundation, and everything is detailed to shrug off salt and surf.
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.
Where the stone comes from
Stone varies wildly pallet to pallet, so we select it ourselves. In Ogunquit, where the local character runs to shingled coastal cottages and artist estates above the sea, getting the color and cleft right matters more than the grade printed on the invoice.
Questions
Patios in Ogunquit, answered.
Yes. Cleiton Landscape & Masonry builds patios throughout Ogunquit — from Marginal Way, Perkins Cove, and Israel Head — and across Southern Maine, and has since 2008. We’re licensed and insured, we work across Maine, and we build from architectural plans with millimeter precision.
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.
For the homes we work on, natural bluestone and granite win on longevity and character; concrete pavers win on upfront price. We are happy to build either, but we will tell you honestly which one fits the look you are after.
A rocky headland between Marginal Way and the tidal Ogunquit River on granite ledge and thin soil, sandier toward the beach and river. 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 Ogunquit stonework flat, plumb, and intact through freeze-thaw.
