Origins
Precision. Artistry. Experience.
Our Founder, Jack Blandy, has been a well-known, creative force in the industry for decades. His inherent talent, and years of hands-on experience, set the tone for exceptional design on properties along the Main Line and throughout the Delaware Valley.
Growing up in the business, then acquiring RLA, ASLA certifications, Joe learned from Jack while adding new technologies in conceptual design capabilities to the firm. Now as President, Joe has a rare combination of their integrated experience with a demonstrated record of excellence.
Selecting plant materials to thrive in each environment has been the bedrock of every plan. On location at the 24-acre nursery in Glen Mills, we cultivate rare specimen trees, plants and shrubs.
AT Stoney Bank Nurseries, WE ARE pulled INTO THE pleasure of gardens. EVERY plant, EVERY material, EVERY angle, EVERY detail.
