Stonepocket's goal is to become your personal landscaper for your property, servicing your every outdoor need. To begin, we'll start with helping to design your creative vision, whether it includes installing patios and pergolas, landscaping gardens, or crafting the finishing touches of lighting, furniture and art. We will be your partner every step of the way. We consider every landscape to be a work of art that we tailor to meet each individual client's style and aesthetic. The process begins with an on-site visit with a landscape designer: together, we'll walk your property to discuss your ideas.
Since I was a very young child, I have loved the outdoors. I am still very active in a variety of pursuits that keep me outside, enjoying nature year-round. On any given weekend, you might find me camping, competing in a triathlon, or kayaking. Drawing and building are also long-time interests--so it's probably no surprise what happened when I decided to combine my passions into a career. I became a landscape designer, and have loved every single day of this incredible work. The fact is that I couldn't have done it without you.

In the summer of 2021, we hired Tim Heelan of Stonepocket to refurbish our backyard landscaping. This job required the removal of overgrown and tired plantings, the relocation of loved and still viable plants, and a new vision for a large hillside terraced garden. We also needed to address a drainage issue and did so by installing pop-up drains to keep roof drainage from flooding our neighbor's yards on both side of our lot. Tim was flexible and shared creative ideas including a beautiful rendering of the final proposed design for the backyard project. The crew that worked on the project was extremely knowledgable about stonework and the variety of garden plants that were required for the job. They were creative and flexible about on-the-job trouble shooting when unexpected issues cropped up. (For example, we have a mysterious sprinkler system which was not installed by us, and the garden plan had to be adjusted to fit with the original piping once it was discovered underground. We were informed of the issue and were included in the problem solving.) The crew was respectful of neighbor's properties and cleaned up the site each day as they finished, even sweeping the street where they loaded and unloaded their equipment. We would wholeheartedly recommend Stonepocket for landscape projects using stonework (terracing, limestone slab steps, etc.) and creative and colorful garden plantings. We were so satisfied with the outcome of our project that we are hiring Tim and company again this summer to refresh the front yard! We live in an association of detached town houses, and the HOA is happy to welcome Stonepocket back after seeing the outcome of our project.

Tim at Stonepocket is absolutely FANTASTIC to work with. After interviewing and researching several other companies, it quickly became clear that Tim and Stonepocket were head and shoulders above the competition. In the fall of 2017, we had completed building our home and needed to landscape our entire yard, both front and back. While we were pretty specific about how we planned to use the space, we weren't sure how to bring that vision to life. Enter Tim. After patiently listening to our descriptions and reviewing our selections, Tim patiently walked us through several iterations of our project as he both taught us about our selections and introduced us to other possibilities. Once we finalized our project and the work began, Tim was there daily, either doing the work himself and/or coordinating and overseeing his subcontractors. He walked us through who we would need to speak with when in order to keep our project on time. I think my favorite thing about working with Tim and Stonepocket is the continued care and work that he puts into our project. It was evident from day 1 and has continued to be reinforced even 4 years later, that Tim views this as more than a job. He takes pride in his work and it shows. I can't recommend Tim and Stonepocket highly enough!

Tim and his crew were very professional every step of the way from the initial Landscape design to the completed project. Definitely recommend Stonepocket!

Tim has integrity and passion for his work. He approaches each project as a unique canvas and puts a lot of thought into the final look and eventual growth considerations for plantings. We wanted a paver patio, easy to maintain plants, rock and lighting features and an enclosed raised garden. He listened to our needs and proposed a design that we absolutely love. We get compliments all the time about our backyard oasis. If you have big ideas, he has a "guy" for everything and will work with you to scale up or down as your budget allows. In our case, we took a phased approach over several years...continuing to fill in plants and replace trees around the house over time. He guarantees his work and will check in the season after planting to ensure there are no concerns. We have and will continue to recommend Tim to friends and neighbors!

Our neighbors had previously worked with Tim (Stonepocket), and I was very impressed with the result. Tim Heelan and his crew are very professional and meticulous in their landscaping work. I was amazed at how much they did in three days during the Fall. All of the work was flawless, and all of the crew very nice to work with.
Tim is a creative landscape architect; his proposals were beautiful in their design, and very individualized to our (sloping) front lawn and need for replacement of two trees damaged and removed after a July storm.
Stonepocket is not cheap---because this quality of work cannot be cheap---but I feel the expense was justified, based on the result. It really is a pleasure to work with Tim and the Stonepocket crew, as they clearly are very proud of their work. I would certainly recommend them to our friends and neighbors.
We still have some remaining plantings in April, but the major portion of the work has been completed (and Tim will be checking to see how the plants weathered the winter). I have attached a photo taken during the landscape work (literally a work in progress).

Last Fall I hired Stonepocket to prepare ground, plant hydrangea shrubs and grass seed in a area that we had 3 evergreen trees removed. Two hours after they laid the grass seed it rained heavily and most of the grass seed washed away so I had to reseed in the spring. The shrubs survived the winter and have sprouted leaves. Hoping that they will bloom.

Tim is very creative and his designs are cutting edge so he is keeping up with current trends. He was flexible with his plan to conform to out budget and willing to incorporate our ideas. Our project spans the fall of 2018 and spring of 2019 so photos at this mid-project time would not define the final aesthetic.

Stonepocket worked for my brother installing a patio in their backyard along with some plantings so I was able to witness Tim’s work first hand. We hired Tim to refresh some plantings around the house and to add some stone steps on the side of our garage. Throughout the process Tim has come up to great ideas with the layout and plant suggestions that have added more seasonal interest to our gardens. When the plants did not thrive the following season, Tim himself replaced them. We have received many compliments and look forward to working with Tim again on future projects. We would recommend Stonepocket to anyone thinking about a landscaping project.
