New retaining wall
Kenneth R.

Your home is usually your greatest investment. But it's more that a that... it's your home! You live there! You can't expect every contractor to have the same level of care for your home that you do but when you do find that contractor, keep them! Devin worked with us on expanding our old one car driveway to this beautiful two car one. But in our discussions, we told him how we wanted a gate and would likely need a new fence as well. It became clear we would need a new retaining wall to make this happen the way we wanted it to. He was patient and asked the right questions to help us connect the dots for what it would take to finish the project as we imagined. Affordable, on time, courteous and responsive... I hope to work them again!

"Finished" results with incorrect pavers

Mistakes Were Made: We wanted pavers installed to extend the width of our driveway and a trash can pad. 1) Materials: Quality material, however, the wrong pavers were installer. The owner brought paver options to my house so I could chose the paverI wanted (that was good). To be fair, the pavers looked similar, with the main exception being one is textured, the other is smooth. I chose smooth, they installed textured. 2) Installation: Not a fan of the installation method used. They use this method to ensure the pavers don't shift AT ALL. It could work, but my expectation is for pavers be installed flush with the grass and surrounding landscape, not raised. If you prefer raised, I would suggest getting decorative pavers to cover up the exposed concrete. 3) Repair: They were responsive to my concerns and within 3 days uninstalled the pavers and laid sod in the area, per my preference. They were willing to install the original pavers I choose. However, since I'm not a fan of raised pavers, I choose to uninstall. The pros: The workmanship on the project was excellent, they are responsive, they will fix mistakes, dynamic invoicing (every time I Zelled a payment I received an update invoice with the new balance owed) The cons: Extra steps involved: 1) Go over HOW the pavers will be stalled when Kelley comes out and does the site survey to ensure they will be installed to your expectations. 2) When the pavers arrive onsite, look at them immediately to determine they are the pavers you chose. You shouldn't need to do this once a paver is decided on, this is why it's a con. 3) Because the pavers were raised around 10 inches off the ground for the trash can garage going through the gate, they cut the bottom of our gate door, so now the gate door needs replacing or repairing. This project cost us money, not just the required upfront cost, but also in replacing the gate door. The lost money is why this review is a 3 instead of a 4 .

Looks like I'm the first to review Burgess, so huzzah! I have a home that needs a little love and TLC. Probably more than a little if I'm being honest. Some things I can do, some I can't. The retaining wall in my back yard was in sad shape. The wife and I are seriously considering moving in the next year, or so, and thought replacing it would be a simple summer project. When researching the type and cost of materials, pricing out some tools I'd have to buy etc... I realized the cost was going to be much more than I originally thought. At this point I decided to look into hiring someone that actually had experience doing this since the cost was getting comparable of me doing it vs a pro. This is where I turned to Yelp to find contractors that could give me an estimate. Of the three I was put in touch with, Burgess was by far the most responsive. They came out (I believe the next day) to discuss the project, see what my expectations were and give me their estimate. Now keep in mind, I rely heavily on customer reviews when doing most anything online and Burgess had 0 reviews on Yelp. I was a bit apprehensive initially but felt much more comfortable after talking with Devin (and I think his wife). Watching them work gave me a solid impression of their competence and I felt this would be a good company to do business with. While looking into replacing the retaining wall I was simultaneously going through an agonizingly slow process of working through an insurance claim to fix the foundation of the house which had been damaged due to some leaks under the slab. Once Devin have me his quote for the wall I told him I was going to have to wait until I knew what the insurance company determined my out of pocket expenses would be for the foundation. The quote Burgess gave me was more than it would have cost me to do the job myself, obviously, but still very reasonable. Eventually, insurance finished what they needed to do (a month after I initially reached out for quotes) and I let Devin know I was ready to move forward with Burgess replacing the retaining wall. After a brief delay due to weather, they came out and completed the job in one day when it was initially expected to take two (he pulled some extra help from jobs that were still to wet to be worked on). Devin was extremely flexible on scheduling and the price. I had a very easy time communicating, mostly via text messaging. They're a local, family owned business and made the entire process as smooth as possible. Although I don't see myself needing the services of a landscaping company very often in my future, Burgess will definitely be the people I turn to first when I do!

They came out & gave me an estimate within a few hours. Scheduled & finished the project within 3 days. Started in the morning & were complete that evening. Very professional & workmanship is great.

Devin was great at communicating with me from beginning to end of the project and I'd highly recommend them.

David Spradling and Image Landscape Development turned our dead and dry front yard into a drought…read moretolerant and beautiful setting a mix of plants that I wanted and plants I didn't know. After the freeze I now know the plants survive. The mound is what I always wanted to see as we approached home The mountain laurel is where I can watch birds in it and the see the flowers. Our neighbors like it too, and I hope many people will see it and know our pride of ownership is "This is what we love."

I contacted David at I.L.D. to discuss a patio and walkway project that my wife's been wanting for…read moreover 5 years. David and his crew supervisor were able to stop by my place that afternoon. After walking around the yard to look over the project and later, sending my drawing of what I was looking for in greater detail he came back with an estimate. Glad to say I was sitting down when I saw it. After talking with the wife we decided to scale back the project to just the patio, but have I.L.D. supply us with enough Flagstone for us to do the pathways on our own as time and energy permit. We did custom remodeling work for 14 years since my forced retirement in 2003, but decided to completely retire in 2018, so the budget was a major concern. David's revised estimate was still more than we expected, but knowing the amount of labor involved, we agreed on the price. David's crew was able to start on our place the following Tuesday and completed the job by the next Monday after that. I was happy with the professionalism his crew displayed and the attention to details that made a difference in the end product. I was impressed with the stone-work, and the respect shown to our property by all the workers. The crew supervisor did suggest a change to the job after digging out for the stonework, that increased the total area. It made a lot of sense so David and I quickly came to an agreement on the adjustment that was reasonable. I highly recommend David and I.L.D. for this kind of work.
