Stone Walls · Cohasset, MA
Stone Walls in Cohasset, Massachusetts.
Building stone walls in Cohasset starts underground, on ledge and thin coastal soil. Oceanfront ledge and harbor estates on Jerusalem Road. We hand-set every stone to suit the shingle-style and colonial estates fronting the open Atlantic of south Shore, and we build it to still be plumb in thirty years.
Fieldstone matched to Cohasset
Freestanding fieldstone is the older language of South Shore, 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 Cohasset Village, Jerusalem Road, and Sandy Beach.
Where the shingle-style and colonial estates fronting the open Atlantic 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.
Our footprint around Cohasset
Cohasset sits in Norfolk County, and most weeks we are somewhere in this pocket of South Shore — which means shorter travel, faster site visits, and a crew that already knows how ground behaves around here.
Where the stone comes from
The yards we buy from are regional and long-standing, which is how we can match an existing wall or terrace years later. In Cohasset that continuity matters — the shingle-style and colonial estates fronting the open Atlantic here tends to get added to over time, not replaced.
Building walls in Cohasset
Jerusalem Road’s oceanfront is about as demanding as stonework gets — founded straight onto rock and detailed for storm surge and salt.
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 Cohasset site is left clean at the end of every day.
For Cohasset designers and architects
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 Massachusetts.
Questions
Stone Walls in Cohasset, answered.
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.
Most residential work runs one to three weeks on site, depending on size, access, and how much excavation ledge and thin coastal soil demands. You get a real schedule before we start, and we hold it — including the clean-up at the end of each day.
Yes. Cleiton Landscape & Masonry builds stone walls throughout Cohasset — from Cohasset Village, Jerusalem Road, and Sandy Beach — and across South Shore, and has since 2008. We’re licensed and insured, we work across Massachusetts, and we build from architectural plans with millimeter precision.
Both. Dry-stacked fieldstone for the classic New England look and freestanding walls; mortared and granite-capped construction where the design calls for a crisper line or structural tie-in. We recommend the right method for the wall’s job and your aesthetic.
