Kyle replaced the 30 year old 15’ x 25’ wooden deck with 15’ x 15’ composite deck that steps down to 12’ x 17’ patio with gas fireplace. The project included low maintenance landscaping around the deck and patio and below ground sump discharge and downspout.
Kyle and his crew of 3 do top notch, quality work. And my family and I love our new outdoor space.
We’ve worked with Kyle on two different homes and have been blown away. He and his crews provide great design, do artisan-like work and deliver service that separates Burkhart Outdoors from all others. Kyle and his teams are timely, responsive, consultative, and go above and beyond. Kyle’s a perfectionist and will catch even the slightest imperfection that we don’t even see and work to make it perfect. He’s got exacting standards and takes pride in every job he does. On time. On budget. We couldn’t recommend him more strongly! Would give 6 stars if it was an option.
Kyle was fantastic to work with; he’s professional, creative, conscientious, responsive, listens to what your needs are, keeps you informed every step of the way and is a great person who goes the extra mile to help his customers. Kyle strives to develop a relationship with his clients that lasts beyond the project so that if you have any questions or want to expand on your initial project, he’s there to help. Aside from a small vegetable garden, our backyard was a blank slate that needed a serious intervention. We screened in our back porch, put in a natural stone patio, bistro lights and plants, including a natural privacy fence along the back of our property. Kyle’s team did an awesome job and we look forward to working on phase two of our yard!
Kyle did an excellent job on sprucing up our residence and eliminating a drainage issue that had plagued us for years. The plants used on our project have all thrived and provided the vibrant fall colors our family wanted. I’ve used other Landscapers in the past and found that after one year a lot of the plantings did not make it. With Kyle, everything he planted has not only survived, but has thrived. Will definately be using Burkhart Outdoors again.
I highly recommend Burkhart Outdoors for your landscaping needs. I approached Kyle with some ideas on removing 3 very tall Blue Spruce trees in my front yard and adding some perennials and outcropping stones. He took my ideas and planned an extraordinary layout. I love it and get compliments on it all of the time. Everything was cleaned up and left better than before he started. Kyle is great to work with, very accommodating, and a true professional. You will be very happy with his ideas and his work. Carol Gamage
It is said patience is a virtue and good things come to those who wait. For our project this summer these words ring true. We went into our project (creating a new patio and resurfacing an existing deck) with some ideas on product and design. While I would encourage prospective clients to do their homework before starting contractor interviews, give Kyle some freedom to offer suggestions. His education in interior design as well as his years of experience in landscape and hardscape design allow him to ‘see’ projects with a unique eye. Our project was the better for his suggestions. There are many things that made working with Kyle pleasant- his standards are high, his team is very competent and neat, his price was fair, and his ability to pull subs for aspects of the project impressive. Our project took longer than any of us expected due to product issues- yes, supply chain issues weren’t just an academic talking point on the news. Both Kyle and Jason A (who handled the deck resurfacing) are gentlemen who stand behind their work and their word. So lots of good things, including hours of enjoyment in our new backyard, do come to those who patiently wait. Thanks to Kyle & Jason and the rest of the team!
When I purchased my house back in the fall of 2019, little did I know that my first home would turn out to be my dream home. My plan was simple: clean it up, give it a paint job, and some cosmetic repairs, or so I thought. I knew I had purchased a fixer-upper, but the moment I stepped into the backyard, rake in hand, I realized that this was a much bigger job than weeding and seeding. Overwhelmed by my lack of understanding of outdoor spaces, I decided to contact Burkhart Outdoors. I was pretty impressed when Kyle Burkhart, owner, and CEO, showed up at my house a few weeks later. Kyle assured me that his priority was to create a space that matched my wants and lifestyle. I knew that I wanted a garden with trees, roses, shrubs, and entertainment space but had no clue where to begin. Kyle was quick to mention that it’s not all about plant looks, but most importantly, which species would thrive in my garden based on the soil ph, sun exposure, and where the house was situated. He immediately examined the property and helped me realize that I had several dead trees on the property. To me, this all sounded like too big of a project, but Kyle assured me that his company was a one-stop-shop and that he would take care of it all, and he did. Upon agreeing to proceed with Burkhart Outdoors Design Contract Agreement, Our follow-up meetings consisted of in depth detailed design concepts, a tailored plant species list, and samples of all stone, retaining wall materials, and a detailed line item estimate for all aspects of the project. This was very helpful as I could completely understand where my money was being spent on my investment. The best part was that I never once felt left out of the entire process. Kyle will always make sure that your opinion matters and that you have made the perfect investment in your home. All in all, I would have to give Burkhart Outdoors a 10/10 because of exemplary customer service and incredible attention to detail. Kyle & his team has a created a luxurious outdoor space that only gets better with time.
If I could give 7 stars I would! We recently hired Burkhart to update our front landscape and walkway which, after 33 years, was looking tired and dated. Kyle brought a fresh perspective, positive approach and contagious enthusiasm for our project. Here are some of the things that stand out in my mind:
•Kyle is a great design partner – he listened to what we wanted, presented options and wasn’t shy about giving input. His recommendations were spot on. In addition to a new paver walkway, Kyle opened up and paved our front porch to give us a new outdoor living space. He created a planting design with an eye toward continual color, interest AND easy upkeep. Even though I was skeptical about landscape lighting, his plan is absolutely stunning.
•The entire Burkhart crew respected our time and our home. Kyle always let us know what would be done when, and alerted us to any changes. His crew was competent, courteous and quiet – NO loud music, NO yelling, and NO littering.
•Burkhart has extensive resources and Kyle did a great job of coordinating every detail – from tree trimming, to masonry repair, watering system consultation and electrical installation.
•There were no surprises. Kyle made many promises when we negotiated the project, and he kept every single one of them. As with any project, there were a few situations that cropped up but Kyle always had a solution which addressed the need and respected our budget. That in itself is priceless.
Have wanted to replace some older flagstone around the side of our house and extend a nice walkway from the front, around the garage to our rear deck. We also wanted to add some bushes along the rear fence line. Contacted Burkhart Outdoors and spoke with Kyle. He stopped by and reviewed the scope of the project. Using a plat of our property, Kyle was able to design a vision of what he would be able to do. After a few adjustments we agreed to proceed. Being a smaller job, his crew was able to fit us in within a week and able to finish up within 2 days! Now we have the large (14x21x2 3/8″) Beacon Hill Unilock pavers running from the front, around the garage to the rear deck. A black steel edging retains American heritage stone up to a garden area where brown mulch was used. To help with drainage a CA-6 base was used to create a trench beneath the walk which drained well during recent downpours. 4 arborvitaes were removed and 12 Arrowood Viburnums planted. VERY responsive to requests. A+
Most contractors are not the easiest to get a hold of and getting a response back has always been an issue. When we were recommended to Kyle Burkhart, it was after 3 other contractors wouldn’t get back to us about a pergola we wanted built. Kyle not only got back with us immediately, he did every single time we called with a question. He was very professional with every conversation and the work turned out beautiful. We honestly could not be happier. We will definitely be calling him again for our next project, without a doubt.
Unbelievable!
Kyle was responsive, responsible and transparent.
They delivered on time and on budget and above expectations.
My yard is transformed and i couldn’t be happier.
Kyle and his crew were such a pleasure to work with. He was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and was very impressed with his ideas for our landscaping! We chose to wait a few weeks after our consultation to sign the contract, but once the project began we were very pleased how efficiently and promptly it was completed. His crew did an amazing job transforming our landscaping into something beautiful. We couldn’t be happier and would definitely recommend Burkhart Outdoors!
Kyle is an extraordinary professional. After only one visit at our house, he came up with the most unique ideas that no one else had ever thought of. After he and his team completed the projects that he proposed, we were extremely impressed with the results, surpassing our expectations. He is extremely creative, conscientious, professional and most of all trustworthy. It is evident that he is passionate about what he does and understands what it takes to build solid, long-standing relationships.
We had the pleasure of working with Kyle on the complete overhaul of our front and backyard. Kyle worked with us on creating beautiful landscaping and keeping within our budget. Kyle was very prompt and delivered on a deadline that was VERY tight due to weather. He was not only attentive to our needs, but made sure that he updated us DAILY as to what we could expect. Kyle was there on site everyday, making sure our project was running as smooth as possible. He’s a consummate professional that was always reachable before, during and even after our project was complete.
Kyle takes extreme pride in his work and so do we. We couldn’t be happier with the finished product.
We hired Kyle Burkhart to redesign our entire backyard outdoor living space. Featuring a custom fire pit, seating walls, cedar pergola, landscape lighting, and plantings. Once we approved the design and proposal, he submitted for a building permit, and gave us a construction start date. Construction started and was completed on time within budget. Every day the job site was cleaned up and safe not only for our family but our neighbors as well. We couldn’t be happier with the overall project. Thank you, Kyle, for your professionalism throughout this project, it’s a pleasure working with you. We will definitely hire Kyle again.
