That will be quite a bit of stone - the ton per lineal foot sounds right. And with a base width of 4' or more, when you consider the width of the pathway you need to have between walls (a minimum of 5'), the scope of this project is becoming monumental. If we're talking about something like the Chartres maze, it's going to have to be at least 230' in diameter, and just the outermost ring of the maze would hold 600+ tons of stone. Total project tonnage might be around 4,300. Project cost for just the stonework (and this is coming from someone who doesn't tackle anything this size, so take it with a grain of salt) would probably break 7 figures.
Again, this is coming from someone who doesn't tackle anything near that size, so take that with a grain of salt.
I think a project like that would be gorgeous, but certainly expensive as well.
Let us know how things progress!
