I originally met with Burkholder Brothers to price out a lawn sprinkler system for my residence. They were very responsive and I met with Mark Burkholder to discuss my options. They submitted a proposal and I felt theirs was the best compared to the three submitted. It was a good value, a fair price, and I was immediately trusting of Mark's capability and demeanor. After I awarded Mark the business and progressed in the process, I added on additional work with them that included a significant amount of hardscaping and landscaping. This time it was Barry Burkholder who gave me comfort - once again
