Pool Terraces · Cape Elizabeth, ME
Pool Terraces in Cape Elizabeth, Maine.
Cape Elizabeth is rocky headland and open-ocean frontage south of Portland, and that shapes every decision here. We build pool terraces on granite and metamorphic ledge under thin coastal soil, detailed for the shingle-style and modern coastal estates on open frontage they sit beside — hand-set, drainage-first, and made to look like they were always part of the property.
Working from a plan in Cape Elizabeth
If you are coming to us with a plan already drawn, we build it as drawn. We read grading and layout sheets fluently, hold the detail, and keep the designer informed at each milestone — the way we work with Jonathan Keep Landscape Design across Maine.
Beyond Cape Elizabeth
Cape Elizabeth sits in Cumberland County, and most weeks we are somewhere in this pocket of Greater Portland — which means shorter travel, faster site visits, and a crew that already knows how ground behaves around here.
Pool terraces in Cape Elizabeth
Cape Elizabeth is Portland’s estate coast, built on the same ledge as its famous lighthouses — new stonework here is founded on rock and built for the open Atlantic.
We coordinate with the pool builder, the electrician, and the landscape designer — often Jonathan Keep Landscape Design — so the terrace goes in at the right moment over the right backfill, and nothing gets opened back up later.
Coping and stone chosen for the house
The coping is the one line everyone reads, from the water and from the house. We set it dead level to the shell with consistent overhang, and choose thermal bluestone or granite for grip underfoot — matched to the shingle-style and modern coastal estates on open frontage of Cape Elizabeth so the pool reads as part of the garden, not a hole cut into it.
Seat walls, steps, and planting beds get designed into the surround from the start, whether the property sits in Two Lights, Shore Road, and Delano Park or anywhere else in town.
What the work looks like from your window
A job in Cape Elizabeth is a few weeks of trucks, machines, and people in your yard. We plan staging and protection before day one — drive plates, root-zone protection, a defined material area — and leave the site clean each evening rather than at the end.

Questions
Pool Terraces in Cape Elizabeth, answered.
Yes. Cleiton Landscape & Masonry builds pool terraces throughout Cape Elizabeth — from Two Lights, Shore Road, and Delano Park — and across Greater Portland, and has since 2008. We’re licensed and insured, we work across Maine, and we build from architectural plans with millimeter precision.
Thermal-finish bluestone and granite give real grip when wet, which is why we recommend them for surrounds. Lighter stone runs cooler underfoot — we will talk through color and finish for your sun exposure before we commit.
Usually, yes. We hand-select from regional yards to match color, cleft, and scale against what is already on the property — which matters in Cape Elizabeth, where the shingle-style and modern coastal estates on open frontage tend to be added to over time rather than replaced.
Pool surrounds typically run $40 to $80+ per square foot installed, depending on stone, coping detail, the pool’s shape, and site access. Radius coping and cut work on a freeform pool sit at the higher end.
