Stone Walls · Yarmouth Port, MA
Stone Walls in Yarmouth Port, Massachusetts.
Captains’ row on the Old King’s Highway. Across Barnstable County we build stone walls the slow way — excavated to depth over sandy outwash with marsh and bog ground toward the bay, drained properly, and hand-fitted to the Federal and Greek Revival captains’ houses in an unbroken historic streetscape that define Yarmouth Port.
Walls that hold Yarmouth Port’s ground
A wall in Yarmouth Port is a drainage structure before it is a stone one. A bayside village strung along the Old King’s Highway above the marsh sit on sandy outwash with marsh and bog ground toward the bay — and that is where a wall lives or dies. We excavate to a compacted base below frost depth and build a weep-and-drainage channel behind every retaining wall, so the hydrostatic pressure of a New England winter never gets the leverage to push it out of plumb.
Turn a sloped Yarmouth Port lot into level, planted, usable ground and — built this way — it stays that way, quietly, for decades.
What the work looks like from your window
A job in Yarmouth Port 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 Yarmouth Port
Yarmouth Port’s captains’ row is one of the most intact historic streetscapes on the Cape, under Old King’s Highway review — new stone here defers, entirely.
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 Yarmouth Port site is left clean at the end of every day.
Choosing material that suits Yarmouth Port
Stone varies wildly pallet to pallet, so we select it ourselves. In Yarmouth Port, where the local character runs to Federal and Greek Revival captains’ houses in an unbroken historic streetscape, getting the color and cleft right matters more than the grade printed on the invoice.
Beyond Yarmouth Port
Yarmouth Port sits in Barnstable County, and most weeks we are somewhere in this pocket of Cape Cod — which means shorter travel, faster site visits, and a crew that already knows how ground behaves around here.

Questions
Stone Walls in Yarmouth Port, answered.
Yes. Cleiton Landscape & Masonry builds stone walls throughout Yarmouth Port — from Old King’s Highway, Bass Hole, and Yarmouth Port Village — and across Cape Cod, and has since 2008. We’re licensed and insured, we work across Massachusetts, and we build from architectural plans with millimeter precision.
A bayside village strung along the Old King’s Highway above the marsh on sandy outwash with marsh and bog ground toward the bay. 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 Yarmouth Port stonework flat, plumb, and intact through freeze-thaw.
Usually, yes. We hand-select from regional yards to match color, cleft, and scale against what is already on the property — which matters in Yarmouth Port, where the Federal and Greek Revival captains’ houses in an unbroken historic streetscape tend to be added to over time rather than replaced.
Most residential work runs one to three weeks on site, depending on size, access, and how much excavation sandy outwash with marsh and bog ground toward the bay demands. You get a real schedule before we start, and we hold it — including the clean-up at the end of each day.
