A Landscape Plan That Accounts for What Happens Next
A landscape can look finished and still fall short if drainage, plant selection, maintenance, and long-term performance were not considered early.
Burkholder Landscape provides landscaping services in Glen Mills, Pennsylvania for homeowners who want thoughtful planning, skilled craftsmanship, and ongoing care under one roof. For more than 30 years, our team has helped homeowners invest in outdoor spaces designed to mature well and remain enjoyable for years.
Landscaping Services for the Way Your Property Actually Works
The right landscaping services consider more than a single patio, planting bed, or lawn. Burkholder brings specialists together across design, construction, maintenance, turf, irrigation, and plant health so each part of the property can support the others.
Landscape Design
Good landscape design considers how you live, how the property functions today, and how the space should perform years after installation.
Burkholder has four dedicated in-house designers who study the property, discuss how the space will be used, and account for site conditions before plans are finalized. Township requirements, HOA rules, stormwater needs, and impervious coverage considerations are researched early.
Landscape Installation
Dedicated crews carry the design into construction with attention to how each improvement connects with the larger property.
Installation may include patios and walkways, grading and drainage, retaining and seating walls, planting and softscapes, landscape lighting, water features, artificial turf, pergolas and pavilions, pools and pool decking, and fencing as part of larger projects.
The goal is a finished landscape that feels planned as one environment rather than assembled feature by feature.
Landscape Maintenance
A landscape continues changing after installation. Trees grow, planting beds mature, and seasonal needs change.
Burkholder's maintenance programs are designed for property owners who want consistent professional care throughout the year. Services may include garden and landscape bed maintenance, edging and mulching, spring and fall cleanups, seasonal annual enhancements, pruning, mowing as part of a full-service program, and estate care.
Monthly payment options are available for qualifying maintenance programs.
Turf Care
Your lawn needs a program tailored to the specific requirements of your lawn. Turf care is built around the actual condition of your lawn and what it needs to improve over time. Services include fertilization, weed control, overseeding, lawn renovations, aeration, and insect and disease control. When turf care is handled alongside maintenance and plant health care, your whole property gets better attention.
Plant Health Care
Mature trees and established shrubs represent years of growth. When something begins declining, understanding the cause matters as much as addressing the visible symptoms.
Burkholder's plant health care division is led by certified arborists with experience in plant biology and preventative and corrective care. Services may include tree and shrub fertilization, root system treatments, corrective pruning, preventative applications, disease and insect control, root collar excavation, soil amendments, invasive weed control, deer management, and mosquito control.
Recommendations consider the plant, soil, and surrounding landscape together.
Sprinklers and Irrigation
Water requirements change as plants become established and landscapes mature.
Burkholder installs, services, and maintains residential irrigation systems with an understanding of the planting, turf, and improvements those systems support.
Adjustments can account for new planting beds, lawn renovation, seasonal conditions, and changes elsewhere on the property.
Drainage
How water moves through a property can influence turf health, plant performance, patios, structures, and future improvements.
Burkholder considers grading, runoff, existing conditions, and the surrounding landscape when developing drainage solutions.
Pools
A swimming pool works best when it feels connected with everything around it.
Burkholder designs and installs pools as part of larger outdoor living projects, considering decking, planting, lighting, circulation, and gathering spaces within the overall property plan.
Outdoor Living
Outdoor living spaces should feel like natural extensions of the home.
Burkholder plans patios, structures, plantings, lighting, and gathering areas together so proportions, materials, movement, privacy, and function work as one environment. Projects may incorporate outdoor kitchens, fire features, pergolas and pavilions, seating walls, landscape lighting, landscape audio, planting, and privacy screening.
Commercial Landscape Services
Commercial properties and HOAs require predictable service and a team that represents the property professionally.
Burkholder provides commercial landscape maintenance, turf care, snow and ice management, and select installation services with defined points of contact and consistent communication.
A Defined Path Keeps Decisions Moving
A clear process provides structure from the beginning, so each step remains organized and predictable. Responsibilities are outlined, decisions are made with the right information, and each phase builds on the one before it.
You start with a short phone conversation with an expert who listens to your goals, answers questions, and helps determine if the project is a good fit. You get honest guidance on what is realistic for your space, budget range, and timeline. If it makes sense to move forward, the next step is clearly explained before the call ends.
A specialist visits your property to understand your specific concerns and broader needs. For design and build, this includes vision, layout, budget range, and site constraints. For plant health care, it includes plant condition, biology concerns, photos, and measurements. For maintenance and turf, it includes service needs, property size, and overall fit. You receive expert insight on what is possible and what is realistic before moving forward.
You receive your design agreement within one business day. Your project is assigned to the right designer, and early due diligence begins with townships, HOAs, and stormwater requirements. This prevents delays and keeps the design grounded in what can actually be built. For plant health care, or maintenance you'll receive a detailed property analysis and proposal within 48 hours. In every case, you are given the information needed to make a confident decision.
For projects requiring a design, you'll meet your designer on site within about a week. Measurements, photos, inspiration, and functional needs are reviewed in detail. Before the designer leaves, your next meeting is scheduled so momentum is never lost.
You review the concept design in person at the design center, along with samples and materials. The layout, flow, and function of the space are defined, and you receive a high-level budget. Smaller projects move quickly through revisions, while larger projects progress into detailed plans and visualizations.
Once you approve your proposal, work is scheduled and the next steps are put in motion right away. For design and build projects, permits, engineering, and logistics begin while final design details are completed so progress is not delayed. This approach keeps momentum strong instead of waiting months to get started.
Before work begins, the project is reviewed internally so every department involved understands the scope, timeline, and expectations.
For design and build projects, you'll meet with your project management team, who will walk you through logistics, site access, scheduling, and communication so there are no surprises once installation starts.
For ongoing services such as maintenance and plant health care, you are introduced to the professionals who will be caring for your landscape. Together, you review property specifics, service details, and communication preferences on site. From this point forward, you know exactly who your main point of contact is and who is accountable for the work being performed.
For design and build projects, installation begins with a clear plan and a dedicated team on site. Your Project Manager is present regularly, your foreman oversees daily progress, and you receive consistent updates on what has been completed and what is coming next. The job site is kept organized and cleaned up daily so your property is respected while work is underway.
Ongoing maintenance and plant health care services begin based on seasonality and service needs. Visits follow a structured schedule, and you receive call-ahead notifications and follow-up communication outlining what was completed and what was observed. Communication remains steady and predictable so you always know the status of your property.
After installation, final details are addressed and a follow-up care call takes place to make sure everything is complete and performing as expected.
Your relationship does not end after installation or the initial service cycle. Ongoing maintenance and plant health care programs are designed to protect and strengthen your landscape year after year. When Burkholder maintains your property, extended and lifetime plant warranty options are available. With one team overseeing design, installation, maintenance, and plant biology, your property is supported for the long term rather than treated as a one-time project.
Create a Landscape Worth Protecting for Years to Come
The value of a landscape is measured over years, not only on the day construction ends.
Burkholder combines thoughtful planning, skilled construction, predictable communication, and ongoing care so the property can continue receiving knowledgeable attention as it matures.
For homeowners in Glen Mills, Pennsylvania, that means a landscape partner capable of supporting the property well beyond a single project.
