About Stoney Bank
Precision. Artistry. Experience.
We are trained to see the promise of your landscape. We combine practical knowledge and creativity with your hopes and dreams. Using the technical aspects of composition and the very best natural materials, we build one of a kind, once in a lifetime surroundings, for generations of enjoyment.
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 Mainline and throughout the Delaware Valley. As Jack shared his skillset, he was also acquiring new technologies in conceptual design from his son Joe. Now as President, Joe provides a rare perspective 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. There we also grow distinct and unusual trees, shrubs and perennials for wholesale purchase by other landscape professionals.
AT Stoney Bank Nurseries, WE ARE pulled INTO THE pleasure of gardens.
EVERY plant, EVERY material, EVERY angle, EVERY detail.
