Stone Walls · Cape Elizabeth, ME
Stone Walls in Cape Elizabeth, Maine.
Building stone walls in Cape Elizabeth starts underground, on granite and metamorphic ledge under thin coastal soil. Two Lights, Portland Head, and estate frontage south of the city. We hand-set every stone to suit the shingle-style and modern coastal estates on open frontage of greater Portland, and we build it to still be plumb in thirty years.
Building walls 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.
Much of this work we build straight from a landscape architect’s drawing — batter, height, cap detail, and stone selection exactly as specified — in ongoing collaboration with Jonathan Keep Landscape Design. The Cape Elizabeth site is left clean at the end of every day.
Our footprint around 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.
The honest numbers for Cape Elizabeth
Price in Cape Elizabeth 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 and metamorphic ledge under thin coastal 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.
Fieldstone matched to Cape Elizabeth
Freestanding fieldstone is the older language of Greater Portland, and it is what makes new work read as though it belongs. We source local stone, sort it by hand on site, and dry-stack so each stone carries load to the ones below it — no mortar hiding a mistake. The result carries the settled, irregular character of the walls already standing around Two Lights, Shore Road, and Delano Park.
Where the shingle-style and modern coastal estates on open frontage call for a cleaner line — a granite-capped seat wall, a mortared wall against a foundation — we build that too, matched to the house and the planting plan.
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
Stone Walls in Cape Elizabeth, answered.
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.
Most residential walls in MetroWest fall between $65 and $130 per square face foot, depending on stone type, height, drainage requirements, and access. Dry-stacked fieldstone and engineered retaining walls sit at the higher end. We give a clear, itemized scope after walking the site.
Yes. Cleiton Landscape & Masonry builds stone walls 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.
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 handle the local checks that go with that as part of the project rather than leaving them to you.
