Medway is gently rolling uplands falling to the Charles River lowland along the town's southern and eastern edge, and that shapes every decision here. We build stone walls on glacial till with sandy outwash on the uplands and wet, detailed for the executive colonials on wooded lots they sit beside — hand-set, drainage-first, and made to look like they were always part of the property.
Problems We Solve
Common stone walls problems in Medway — solved.
A steep or eroding slope you can’t use.
An engineered retaining wall turns it into level, planted, usable ground that holds for generations.
An existing wall that’s bulging, leaning, or cracking.
That’s a drainage failure, not a stone one. We rebuild on a real footing with a weep system behind it so it never repeats.
You want privacy and a defined property line.
A hand-stacked fieldstone wall frames the land the way New England has for centuries — and looks original to it.

How a Medway project runs
A job in Medway 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.
Building walls in Medway
The Charles River corridor and the Rabbit Hill Historic District put wetlands buffers and period-sensitive detailing in play — we design stonework to satisfy both the conservation commission and the district.
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 Medway site is left clean at the end of every day.
Fieldstone matched to Medway
Freestanding fieldstone is the older language of MetroWest, 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 Medway Village, West Medway, and Rabbit Hill.
Where the executive colonials on wooded lots, restored 19th-century Federals and mill-village homes, and gentleman's-farm properties 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.
Sourcing stone for Medway
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 Medway, that usually means matching color and texture to the executive colonials on wooded lots already on the street.
Beyond Medway
Medway sits in Norfolk County, and most weeks we are somewhere in this pocket of MetroWest — which means shorter travel, faster site visits, and a crew that already knows how ground behaves around here.
Questions
Stone Walls in Medway, answered.
Gently rolling uplands falling to the Charles River lowland along the town's southern and eastern edge on glacial till with sandy outwash on the uplands and wet, organic margins near the Charles that need engineered drainage. 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 Medway stonework flat, plumb, and intact through freeze-thaw.
Most residential work runs one to three weeks on site, depending on size, access, and how much excavation glacial till with sandy outwash on the uplands and wet demands. You get a real schedule before we start, and we hold it — including the clean-up at the end of each day.
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.
Usually, yes. We hand-select from regional yards to match color, cleft, and scale against what is already on the property — which matters in Medway, where the executive colonials on wooded lots tend to be added to over time rather than replaced.
