Landscape design inclusive of lighting, pavilion installation and storm water management project. Burkholder gets an A+!

Burkholder provides creative and beautiful designs in addition to quality work. Their knowledge of plants and upkeep is superior.

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.

We had a great experience with Burkholder Brothers and are thrilled with our new front walkway! The team was very professional at all stages (design/prep/execution) and the finished product looks great! Big thanks to Ryan McKnight for taking us through the process, appreciate it!
