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. read more

Burt and his team at Landscape Innovations provide high quality work, clear, concise communication, expertise & advice---- all with a comprehensive and fair quote! We had a large job with the new purchase of our home-- the yard and landscape had not had any attention in at least a decade and it was our plan to replace all of it! We knew that we would not be able to take on the entire job all at once....and would need to do it in stages. Few companies were interested in working with us at that level, Enter Burt and Landscape Innovations!! He promptly met with us and discussed our goals. He took extensive notes and pictures and promised us a comprehensive plan along with a written estimate for work. We received a detailed email shortly thereafter and we contracted for the work. Burt and his team arrived promptly (as weather permitted) and he worked diligently to complete the work as we agreed on & in the stages we required for budgeting. His work was completed on time and was always above and beyond both in scope and quality. We could not be more pleased with Landscape Innovations. Our only disappointment is in not having MORE work done.....but we know when we do we can count on Burt. We highly recommend him and his company! read more

They are a smallish local business with a reputation (got referral from a friend) for detailed workmanship. They installed a fire pit, patio and seat wall for us and did a great job. It took a while for them to get to us after we contracted with them but they are in a very seasonal business so they get behind quickly when spring rolls around. We waited about 2 months but once they got to our project, they concentrated on it and completed every detail as we had hoped. The owner explained to me that every spring the number of calls becomes so great that he has to let several go unanswered. When i told him it sounded like a good problem to have, he began telling me about how complete strangers do not understand this and get very upset when their calls are not returned. That's when he suggested i review their work on yelp to combat the last reviewer that obviously fell through the cracks. read more

We called on Burt Young to help out with a drainage/landscaping problem on a hillside adjacent to our driveway. Burt responded within 24 hours and came by to assess the problem area and give an estimate. We accepted and within an acceptable period of time, he arrived, began work and the results were of the highest quality. We were so impressed that we asked if he would o additional work. Our homes builder was impressed with the results of But and teams efforts. Will give him five stars only because we can't give him ten, and yes, we will use his services again in the future. read more

Burt just finished putting in a large retaining wall for me. The work was done perfect and I love the end product. What I value the most was his insight and advice. He could have just built what I told him, but instead he advised me to make adjustments. His suggestions were an improvement and actually cost less than what I asked for. Its refreshing when someone gives you advice that will save you money when he could have pocketed the extra profit! Love working with him. read more

I've never been a customer nor has my family. But seems like Burt knows what he's doing. From looking at the pictures he seems very professional in his work and doesn't let people down. It's always good to have someone be honest with there opinions and thoughts. Plus I was a former student of his wife and he has an amazing family. I would definitely recommend doing business with this guy even though I haven't because I'm just a teenager. read more

We have had a couple landscape projects done by Burt. He does an awesome job and those pics on his website are 100% true to his talents! He is a small business owner and operator, so he does not just do the sales call and contract out his work. He is on the site and working continuously. So, he is a very busy man and especially in the prime time of seasonal work. But for us, he was definitely worth the wait! read more
