Timothy Sheehan, ASLA describes itself as a boutique landscape architectural firm focusing on residential and hospitality design, although all project types are welcome. Its Houzz profile lists licence number LA1365. In a May 2013 review, Tim transformed a yard on a very difficult lot with different levels and slopes, bridging them with hardscape and plantings to unify the entire property, and chose plantings for a nice looking property in all seasons; he was respectful of budget. In a February 2013 review, Tim combined hardscape and landscape elements into an outdoor living space that compliments the modern design of the house while staying sensitive to the wetlands, worked closely with the landscape contractor on the placement of each plant and boulder, reused a great majority of the material already on site, and kept the project within budget. In a separate February 2013 account from NatureWorks Landscape Services, Inc., Tim worked with a client in Westwood, where an aging wooden deck was removed, to develop several schematic design concepts; the plans included an outdoor firepit area, a space for dining, retaining walls, walkways, new plantings and outdoor accent lighting. In a January 2013 review, Tim came up with a plan for an entire property that was implemented in stages over three separate projects: the front of the house one year, the back the following year, and finally a very challenging slope to the side of the house.

Tim did a wonderful job transforming our yard. We have a very difficult lot given that it has different levels and slopes. This was not a problem for Tim. He had innovative ideas as to how to bridge these differences with hardscape and plantings to unify the entire property. I cannot believe what he was able to achieve when I look back at the pre-photographs. He chose beautiful plantings that allow us to have a nice looking property in all seasons. During spring and summer, it is truly exquisite. I feel like we live in a botantical garden. We have received numerous complements from those who have watched the property transform. TIm was very easy to work with. He is respectful of budget. I worked alongside of him initially picking out trees and plantings but eventually let him do all of the selecting when I realized what a wonderful eye he has. I recommend him without reservation.
Tim Sheehan has been a valued partner to NatureWorks Landscape Services, Inc. in recent years. We’re often approached by our clients to help them improve their landscapes and Tim helps make their dreams and vision become a reality. One recent project included creating a new outdoor space for a client in Westwood. An aging wooden deck was removed and Tim worked with our client to develop several schematic design concepts for how the space could be developed. The plans included an outdoor firepit area, a space for a dining, retaining walls, walkways, new plantings, and outdoor accent lighting, and the end result was a unique and functional outdoor space that the family now regularly enjoys. What we really appreciated was his genuine interest in fulfilling our client’s vision and his willingness to listen to what they’re looking for. We look forward to our next project together.
We highly recommend Tim. He did a magnificent job in creating a beautiful outdoor space for us. He combined hardscape and landscape elements to provide us with an outdoor living space that compliments the modern design of the house while still being sensitive to the wetlands. He worked closely with the landscape contractor to ensure optimal placement of each plant and boulder incorporating a great majority of the material that was already on site. It was a fun experience working with Tim. He provided us with a great design, ensured that the project stayed within budget and worked with Anderson Landscape Contractors to ensure that we will have a beautiful outdoor space for years to come.
My husband + I first hired Tim a few years ago, as our home was in need of extensive landscaping. Tim was very open to our ideas, considerate of our budget, and incredibly creative. We provided him with a list of plants, shrubs and trees that we loved, and asked if any or all of them would work in the areas we were planting. He came up with a beautiful plan for our entire property that we then implemented in stages - the front of the house one year, back of the house the following and finally, a very challenging slope to the side of our house. I honestly have never received so many compliments on how beautiful our property was transformed, and have recommended him to many friends and neighbors (and anyone else who will listen). Tim has a true gift for landscape design + architecture, and was a pleasure to work with during our three separate projects. We look forward to working with him again! You can see his work for our home under "Highland" and/or "Wayland".
