Landscape Innovations

Burt was very professional from the get go and showed up on time everyday and stayed as late as it took to get the job done.  He and his team dug trenches and placed drains.  He had to dig up concrete and asphalt in places to access the area.  He coordinated with a great concrete company to restore the area afterwards and I have to say it looks fantastic!  He also installed new sod and put fresh decorative rock down on an area that covered the drains.  We got to see our new drains in action as it rained heavily the night that the project was completed.  I never thought I could be so excited about drains but when the rain stopped and the area was clear with no standing water, I was delighted!!  No more soggy mess and it looks lovely.  He also filled in and regraded a hole that had been eroding.  That was covered with sod too.  Thanks to Burt and his team for a fantastic job!  It is a relief when a project is completed on time and on budget. 

Burt did exactly as he said he would do. He is honest, hard working, true to his word. He also has a great eye for design and cost effectiveness.

I hired Burt Young, owner of Landscape Innovations since 1990, to regrade and install grass for my entire lawn of approximately 10,000 square feet.  This included creating a slope away from the house foundation and the roll and blend of the contours of the lawn to improve both drainage and visual appearances.  My lawn was the eye sore of the neighborhood.  What grass I had was overgrown with weeds, rain had eroded the front of the lawn down to the red clay, and a portion of the lawn sloped right into the house which caused problems during heavy rainstorms.  I had a couple of landscaping companies provide estimates.  The high end estimate recommended installing drainage and a sprinkler system.  Burt?s estimate was $7,000 less than this estimate and included grading the lawn away from the house to provide natural drainage and providing me a watering regimen to ensure that the grass became properly rooted.  At my request Mr. Young showed me some of his other projects within the neighborhood and after seeing those results I hired him.  I gave little guidance other than the grand scheme of things and relied on Mr. Young?s experience to develop the lawn.  To this end Mr. Young exceeded my expectations.  Several things impressed me with this project.  First, Mr. Young personally worked on my lawn all day, each day, all week (I?ve never seen an owner of a Company do that before).  Any unforeseen issues were discussed and resolved immediately to my satisfaction.  The final cost was $150 over the estimate due to those unforeseen issues (e.g., three underground stumps were uncovered during the grading and had to be removed).  The grading was exceptional, not only eliminating the water running into the house?s foundation, but providing beautiful contours.  This involved moving tons of dirt from around the lawn; no dirt had to be purchased and brought in.  The end result is an exceptionally beautiful lawn and one that I am very proud to have.  Without any reservation I would refer people to Mr. Burt Young for their landscaping needs.     

Burt Young coordinated the efforts of three companies and personally directed the building of the walls and corresponding landscaping.  With over 20 years experience.  He supervised and kept the project on schedule.  Very professional and complete satisfaction.

I will not recommend them. They did not complete the job thoroughly and came back twice and still not correct. I do not think I will use them again. I had them landscape my front and back yard with grass. It did not appear right. The yard is not drained correctly. They did drain first and did each time. They did come back twice and tried to fix it. It did not worked out well. They were competitive.

It went well. They did a good job. We would use them again.

Burt Young and his team were outstanding bid to completion.  He is a professional who genuinely cares about his client.  They did a marvelous job and work extremely hard and even saved us money after the bid. He could have charged us the exact bid amount but found areas to effectively save us money and still make the landscape look fantastic.  We will not hesitate to use Burt again and highly recommend them to those seeking to upgrade their landscape or outdoor project.

It went very well. They did outstanding work. They did pretty much what they said they were going to do. They were on time and did a good job.

They started on a Tuesday and when I got home Wednesday night, the entire job was completed.  Everything discussed and on the porposal was completed and the sidewalks and driveway were cleared of any dirt and debris.  I am very pleased with the work and will certainly call Landscape Innovations when I add more landscaping to the yard.

They were good. They are reliable and come when they say they are. They were very efficient and very knowledgeable. They fixed up the front of my house to be very nice and it looks really good. I also think their price was reasonable. I have called them and they have gave me advice after the fact.

Mr. Burt Young was the proprietor. I spent $6000 or $7000 on the job. The job went well in the end in terms of the final look and the product. We had an agreement initially to get the job done by a particular date and that date was not met. I did not think that it was initially doable. Then, we had a long wait period between when the ground was dug up where nothing was on it and laying down sod. The wait was not due to the weather but it was due to the contractor having other clients and not having access to the machinery. So, he had over committed in the beginning. He said that he could do the whole thing by a particular date but then, he could not but it worked out in the end. This was the main concern that I had. The other thing was that, he was an innovative person but my husband wanted this job done quickly. We also wanted new ideas but also wanted to be clear about what would get done and when it would be done but he kept bringing up new ideas all the time. I said yes after the initial ideas but I also wanted action and wanted things to happen by a certain date where as some people were creative but I was not so pragmatic.
