Walkways · Lexington, MA
Walkways in Lexington, Massachusetts.
From the modernist Moon Hill community to colonial estates — crisp, architectural stonework. Cleiton Landscape & Masonry hand-builds walkways across Lexington and Greater Boston — set on shallow soil over ledge in the hill neighborhoods, matched to its the modernist Moon Hill and Peacock Farm enclaves alongside colonial estates, and built to outlast the New England freeze-thaw.
See our Lexington projectThe approach to a Lexington door
A walkway is the first handshake a house gives, and in Lexington it takes the hardest freeze-thaw punishment of anything we build. Set on shallow soil over ledge in the hill neighborhoods, firmer till elsewhere, 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 drumlins and ledge outcrops around the historic town center feels composed: generous at the entry, comfortable underfoot, and lit for arriving after dark.
Stone that matches the front of the house
Thermal bluestone for a crisp, formal entrance; irregular fieldstone for something softer and more rooted; granite treads for steps that will see a century of footsteps. We match the stone to the the modernist Moon Hill and Peacock Farm enclaves alongside colonial estates so the walk looks original to the home — in Moon Hill, Meriam Hill, and Follen Hill and across Lexington.
Most front walks involve a grade change, and steps are where cheap work shows first. We set granite and bluestone treads on proper foundations with consistent risers, so every step lands the same.
Walkways in Lexington
Lexington’s modernist enclaves demand crisp, architectural stone lines, while its historic core expects restraint — we build to whichever the address calls for.
Whether we are matching an existing patio or drawing a new entrance from scratch — often for a Jonathan Keep Landscape Design landscape — the Lexington walk is built to lead the eye exactly where it should go.

Questions
Walkways in Lexington, answered.
Yes. Cleiton Landscape & Masonry builds walkways throughout Lexington — from Moon Hill, Meriam Hill, and Follen Hill — and across Greater Boston, and has since 2008. We’re licensed and insured in Massachusetts and build from architectural plans with millimeter precision.
Drumlins and ledge outcrops around the historic town center on shallow soil over ledge in the hill neighborhoods, firmer till elsewhere. 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 Lexington stonework flat, plumb, and intact through freeze-thaw.
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.
