Steps & Stairs in Moultonborough, New Hampshire.
Governor’s Island — the highest-value lake property in the state. Cleiton Landscape & Masonry hand-builds steps & stairs across Moultonborough and Lakes Region — set on granite ledge and sandy soil, matched to its large shingled lake estates, boathouses, and mountain-view compounds, and built to outlast the New England freeze-thaw.
Our footprint around Moultonborough
Moultonborough sits in Carroll 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.
Consistent risers on Moultonborough grade
Nothing gives a stone contractor away faster than a run of steps. We survey the grade across deep Winnipesaukee frontage, island lots, and mountain backdrop, calculate the run so the risers divide evenly, and set every tread to that number — no fudging the last step at the top, which is the classic tell of a rushed job.
The foot notices a riser off by a quarter inch even when the eye does not. On garden stairs we keep risers low and treads generous, so the climb feels like part of the walk.
How a Moultonborough project runs
A job in Moultonborough 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.
Where the stone comes from
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 Moultonborough, that usually means matching color and texture to the large shingled lake estates already on the street.
A real foundation under every tread
Steps heave before anything else because they concentrate load on a small footprint. Set on granite ledge and sandy soil, with rock often the natural footing, that risk is real — so we excavate below frost, compact a structural base, and bed each tread so it cannot rock, settle, or drift out of line through the winter.
Solid granite treads, stacked bluestone, or dry-set fieldstone risers each get a different build sequence, matched to the large shingled lake estates, boathouses, and mountain-view compounds of the house they serve.

Questions
Steps & Stairs in Moultonborough, answered.
Deep Winnipesaukee frontage, island lots, and mountain backdrop on granite ledge and sandy soil, with rock often the natural footing. 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 Moultonborough stonework flat, plumb, and intact through freeze-thaw.
Almost always because they were set on soil or an inadequate base and water is lifting them each winter. Resetting them on a compacted base below frost depth fixes it permanently — we will tell you honestly whether resetting or rebuilding is the better value.
Most residential work runs one to three weeks on site, depending on size, access, and how much excavation granite ledge and sandy soil demands. You get a real schedule before we start, and we hold it — including the clean-up at the end of each day.
Solid granite treads are generally priced by the riser, commonly $900 to $2,200+ per step installed depending on length, thickness, access, and the foundation work beneath. A full entry stair with landings is scoped as one piece of work.
