Working with Burkholder was a true pleasure. These guys are the perfect one-stop-shopping for everything from design, construction, and maintenance. Every step of the process for our new outdoor living space was better than the next. At our initial design meeting with Barry and Deb, they listened to our "want list" and then took their incredible experience and talent to add design elements that created a cohesive and elegant space.
Our project manager, Tim, was timely and communicative throughout the process. Project start and end dates were exactly as anticipated. Our construction crew was awesome. Their talent in constructing an ~80ft curved retaining wall, cutting practically every stone was meticulous and refined. Not to mention, they were super friendly and often entertained *many* questions from our kids who loved watching them. Marisa knocked our landscape plan out of the park.
She incorporated our current plantings and added others to create privacy, beauty, and functionality. The uplighting, wall lighting, and path lighting is just stunning! Brent and his team came in and implemented the landscape plan in under a week - including sod, mulch, and Marisa's gorgeous plan. Also a big thanks to Mark and team who installed irrigation that we control from an app!
If you're looking for a backyard oasis, choose Burkholder! Their attention to detail is unmatched. They are reliable, talented, and we are beyond happy with the product. Thank you to the entire Burkholder Team!

Burkholder Brothers did a major outdoor project at our home including a walkway, a large patio, a full outdoor kitchen, pool, and complete sod and landscaping. The work was impeccable. We could not be happier with the outcome and level of service. Everyone at the company is outstanding. Would highly recommend. Services: Sod installation, Irrigation system repair & maintenance

Burkholder designed and built a beautiful landscape around a new pool in a challenging space with a slope. Their design was creative and perfectly accommodated a ramp for wheelchair access. They worked well with the pool contractor and maintained excellent communication with me throughout the project. Their entire team worked hard and was very professional. We absolutely love our new backyard and would highly recommend Burkholder!

I originally met with Burkholder Brothers to price out a lawn sprinkler system for my residence. They were very responsive and I met with Mark Burkholder to discuss my options. They submitted a proposal and I felt theirs was the best compared to the three submitted. It was a good value, a fair price, and I was immediately trusting of Mark's capability and demeanor.
After I awarded Mark the business and progressed in the process, I added on additional work with them that included a significant amount of hardscaping and landscaping. This time it was Barry Burkholder who gave me comfort - once again, a trustworthy individual that leaves you with the impression that you are in good hands. The job was completed ahead of schedule and their entire staff was fantastic - hard working, courteous, and they keep a very clean work space.
This is an exceptional family business and do fantastic, high quality work at a fair price. I will likely broaden my relationship with them given how they already performed in these three areas. I highly recommend Burkholder Brothers.

After letting our front yard fall to the wayside with half removed, dead, or overgrown plants we reached out to Burkholder to help us rehab the entire front of house landscaping. After a quick chat about what we were looking for Barry had a design over for us to review and I was instantly all in. The design brought in the types of plants we were looking for and updated the contour of the beds to really improve the curbside appeal.
On the day of the project Brent and his team were fantastic. They were able to complete the entire process in a single day and it looks absolutely amazing. When I go out to get the mail everyday and I take a look back at the front of the house it reminds me that I made the best possible decision I could have by hiring the Burkholder team.

We had an excellent experience with Burkholder Brothers. They removed our 30-year-old deck and replaced it with a patio. From the first visit to our house, Barry listened to our needs and gave us a design that exceeded our expectations. Tim and his entire team did an incredible job and provided a great customer experience! We received excellent communication throughout the job and all of our questions were answered. We highly recommend them.

Right before I was ready to sign on the dotted line with another group, I met Barry Burkholder from the Burkholder Group. Initial impression was one of confidence, competence, genuine customer service, and desire to partner with his clients so they are 100% happy with the outcome. Wow! Imagine that! The Burkholder Brothers are a well-oiled machine with a comprehensive business plan from soup to nuts designing, executing, and caring for landscapes.
We went through the blueprint process with Barry and his designer, Deb Wright with ease. Deb has a good read on people which allows her to not only anticipate but ensure that expectations are set which is very important. She listened to ideas that we brought forward, and helped to reconcile differences that I had with my husband about the project.
The job started in early March 2018. During this time, we experienced 4 Nor'easters, flooding, and what at times, felt like mud slides. The weather was NOT our friend. This was a complex job that involved re-building a swell in the back yard, underground piping, electrical installations, pool decking, a retainer wall, removing many trees, re-configuring and re-mapping, and the list goes on. Barry's crew were very hard working, professional, pleasant, and they cleaned up.
They genuinely appeared to enjoy working for the Burkholder Brothers. One landscaper in particular, Jason, did an outstanding job. Every time I saw him, he was doing his craft, with conviction. He took so much care and pride in his work, he truly has a passion for nature and beauty. I am incredibly appreciative to him. At one point, when we were having what felt like flooding to me, I called Barry and he sent the Project Manager right over to investigate. Dan, the project manager, was there in no time, which put my mind at ease. Dan was very responsive to my emails throughout the project.
Although Barry is one of the owners, I felt he was accessible at all times to me as well, and always reassured and delivered. He did not disappear after being awarded the contract as many business owners do. Another thing I really appreciated is that the contract was very clear, outlining the project and time points of payments which allowed me to do my financial planning.
There were no hidden fees or issues that popped up outside of the contract. So I believe that most things were assessed properly, and accounted for on their end; and that is very important for the success of a project. I bought my outside furniture from Burkholder Brothers and worked with Melody. Melody is very helpful, pleasant, polite, and demonstrated great customer service.
She was patience with me when I changed my mind, at least twice, adding, and removing items from the order list. It was fun to work with Melody, and I felt she was genuinely excited for me which is hard to find in customer service. I recently had the furniture delivered and it is beautiful. Thank you Melody! If you are looking for a comprehensive approach to landscape design large or small, I highly recommend Burkholder Brothers.
You will be very happy with their professionalism, expectation management, customer service, work ethic, and design abilities. You may pay a little bit more but you will get what you expect, and be very happy with the outcome. You will not have to think too much once they start the project, as there is a great level of communication which is key. Your mind will be at ease. Their employees seem happy, and I think that says it a lot about the group. I have a restored faith in these type of industries now thanks to Barry and his team.

Burkholder is a great company. We have had several projects done in our house and our outdoor space since we moved two years ago. We hired burkholder for irrigation and lighting. We are pleased with every project they have done. Any issue they are prompt to respond and resolve which I can appreciate. They're professional, priced responsibly and stand behind their work, says a lot about their company values. Thank you!
