Stone Walls · Narragansett, RI
Stone Walls in Narragansett, Rhode Island.
Building stone walls in Narragansett starts underground, on sandy coastal soil over ledge. The Towers, Ocean Road, and open-Atlantic estate frontage. We hand-set every stone to suit the shingle-style seaside estates and stone-trimmed summer houses of washington County, and we build it to still be plumb in thirty years.
Building walls in Narragansett
Ocean Road takes the open Atlantic head-on — seawall exposure and storm surge dictate how every terrace and wall on this stretch is founded.
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 Narragansett site is left clean at the end of every day.
Fieldstone matched to Narragansett
Freestanding fieldstone is the older language of Washington County, 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 Ocean Road, Point Judith, and Bonnet Shores.
Where the shingle-style seaside estates and stone-trimmed summer houses 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.
Working from a plan in Narragansett
Designers keep sending us Washington County work for one reason: what gets built matches what was drawn. We hold the spec, raise conflicts early, and document as we go — including on the Jonathan Keep Landscape Design projects throughout this portfolio.
The honest numbers for Narragansett
Price in Narragansett is driven less by the stone than by what is under it. Access, how far material has to be carried, the depth of base sandy coastal soil over ledge 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.
Beyond Narragansett
Narragansett sits in Washington County, and most weeks we are somewhere in this pocket of Washington County — which means shorter travel, faster site visits, and a crew that already knows how ground behaves around here.

Questions
Stone Walls in Narragansett, 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 Narragansett, where the shingle-style seaside estates and stone-trimmed summer houses tend to be added to over time rather than replaced.
Open Atlantic shoreline along Ocean Road with bluff and beach lots on sandy coastal soil over ledge, exposed to full ocean weather. 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 Narragansett stonework flat, plumb, and intact through freeze-thaw.
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.
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.
