A quiet farming town of large wooded lots and gentleman's farms where stonework reads as part of the working landscape. Cleiton Landscape & Masonry hand-builds walkways across Dunstable and Nashoba Valley — set on stony glacial till over Merrimack-belt schist and ledge, matched to its preserved Colonial-era farmhouses, antique capes, and estate homes on multi-acre parcels, and built to outlast the New England freeze-thaw.
Problems We Solve
Common walkways problems in Dunstable — solved.
A cracked, uneven front walk that’s a trip hazard.
We reset it on a base below frost with consistent risers, so every step lands the same and stays safe.
An entrance that underwhelms for the house behind it.
A composed stone approach — curves, landings, lighting — makes the walk to the door match the home.
Steps or grade changes that wobble or look cheap.
Granite and bluestone treads on real foundations, set true — that’s where the craft shows.

Dunstable and the towns around it
Dunstable sits in Middlesex County, and most weeks we are somewhere in this pocket of Nashoba Valley — which means shorter travel, faster site visits, and a crew that already knows how ground behaves around here.
Working from a plan in Dunstable
A large share of our Massachusetts work is executing drawings for landscape architects — reading elevations, holding the specified batter and joint, and flagging a conflict before it becomes a change order. Much of it in ongoing collaboration with Jonathan Keep Landscape Design.
Sourcing stone for Dunstable
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 Dunstable, that usually means matching color and texture to the preserved Colonial-era farmhouses already on the street.
Walkways in Dunstable
Two-acre minimum zoning and a strong rural-character ethic keep Dunstable wooded and farmed, so wetlands near Salmon Brook, roadside stone walls, and long setbacks shape most projects.
Whether we are matching an existing patio or drawing a new entrance from scratch — often for a Jonathan Keep Landscape Design landscape — the Dunstable walk is built to lead the eye exactly where it should go.
The approach to a Dunstable door
A walkway is the first handshake a house gives, and in Dunstable it takes the hardest freeze-thaw punishment of anything we build. Set on stony glacial till over Merrimack-belt schist and ledge, studded with the fieldstone that built the town's old walls, a front walk needs even more base and drainage discipline than a patio — which is exactly how we build it, to stay flat and trip-free for the long haul.
We lay out curves, landings, and step transitions so the approach across rolling wooded uplands and old farm fields drained by Salmon Brook and the Massapoag ponds feels composed: generous at the entry, comfortable underfoot, and lit for arriving after dark.
Questions
Walkways in Dunstable, answered.
Two-acre minimum zoning and a strong rural-character ethic keep Dunstable wooded and farmed, so wetlands near Salmon Brook, roadside stone walls, and long setbacks shape most projects. We handle the local checks that go with that as part of the project rather than leaving them to you.
Most residential work runs one to three weeks on site, depending on size, access, and how much excavation stony glacial till over Merrimack-belt schist and ledge demands. You get a real schedule before we start, and we hold it — including the clean-up at the end of each day.
Front walks generally run $35 to $70 per square foot installed depending on stone, layout complexity, and any steps or landings. Steps with granite treads are priced separately by the riser.
Yes. We source stone to match existing bluestone or granite as closely as the material allows, and carry the joint and pattern language through so the new work reads as part of the original.
