Interlocking Stone Walkways on Both Sides of House

I contracted with Burl-Oak this year to lay interlocking stone walkways on both sides of our house. Prior to the job, the sides were a complete disaster. Grass wouldn't grow and it was complete mud after rain or thawing snow. Completely unusable and an eyesore. Prior to the commencement of the job, I also contracted with Burl-Oak's designer to create a multi-phased vision and really liked the plan. Phase I is the sides, phase II is the driveway, and phase III is the front, and Phase IV is planting. They finished the job in only 2 days (day 1 grading, excavating, and day 2 laying stone) and what a HUGE difference ! (Photos attached). The team were very quick and professional and finished the job on time and on budget. They were even kind enough to lay some river rock at the side and back of my shed to match the other work they did. I fully recommend this team for all of our landscaping needs and you will be very pleased with the result. I am looking forward to starting phase II as soon as possible.

Landscaping project - patio and front step

Burl-Oak came in to look at our proposed project, ripping out an existing deck and laying a new patio, as well the pathway to the front of the house, re-doing our front step, and a new fence and gate. They were very easy to deal with and quickly got back to us regarding our inquiry. When the crew arrived on site, they were all very respectful of our property as well as being friendly and hard working. They left everything neat and tidy each day. We were very impressed with the job are really enjoying our new space which is working much better for us, as well as looking much nicer! The project was done in 2015. Lou'ay called us this year to see how things were looking with the patio. There was one small area that had sunk in over the winter, and he had the crew to our house the next day to fix the issue. I would not hesitate to recommend Burl-Oak Landscaping to friends and family. Thank you for such a great job!

Repeat Customer

I have hired Burloak many times in the past and have always been excited to see their work completed. The biggest project they did still looks great three years later, they have even come back once to make sure everything was in order. Lou'ay and his team are hard workers, trustworthy, and demonstrate attention to detail. I am very picky in regards to projects around the home, I trust Burloak will get it done right. No corners cut.

Interlocking Patios - Highly Recommend

We hired Mark and Lou'ay to complete interlocking patios with side walkways for 3 properties and they did a fantastic job. The jobs were completed quickly, very clean and great workmanship (grading was considered and polymeric sand was used). They were very responsive, listened and addressed any concerns we had promptly. Given we were expecting a baby about the same time the work was set to begin, Lou'ay and Mark were very accommodating working around our schedule and were very understanding. I would highly recommend Mark and Lou'ay and we will be using them again down the road.

Lou'ay and his team did a fantastic job converting our relatively large driveway from a gravel finish to a combination of asphalt and pavers. The bricks were laid in a herring bone pattern and the final look was exactly what we were hoping for. Lou'ay and his team were outstanding, very professional and hard working. He also brought in a team to sod the back yard which we were going to have done separately. Mark was also excellent in responding promptly when we were initially looking for companies to quote on the job, and in making sure that we were comfortable with the design and costs. He also responded promptly when we needed to make a few changes to the design. I would recommend Burl-Oak Landscaping to anyone looking for a quality job.

Landscaping

We hired Ziad at Burl-Oak to redo our flower beds and sod our entire lawn. The work was completed in Sept. and it looked great. In the spring however, all most half of the perennials they planted had died and the grass was full of weeds and crab grass. The plants are guaranteed in the contract, so I contacted Burl-Oak and asked them to come and replace the dead plants and look at the sod. It has been nearly 2 months, and we have not been able to get them to come - despite making numerous appointments (and staying home waiting for them) which they never show up to. It has also become clear that they didn't clean out the old plants that were in the flower beds when they re-did them - I ended up having to dig up lots of old bulbs and plants myself as they were choking out the new ones. Overall I am very disappointed in the work and the service and would not recommend this company.
In addition - though Burl Oak Landscaping claims to have no association with Ziad (brother to the owner). I only contacted Burl Oak Landscaping, and it was Ziad they sent. The contract I signed has Burl Oak Landscaping on the top, and when contacted Lo'ay via email this spring about lawn maintenance (it was very early and we hadn't realized the poor product and service yet), it was Ziad's contact information and name they sent me.

You have the wrong company. Ziad no longer works here and has not for 5 years. please review your contract the name and number should be on there. I would appreciate you remove this review from homestars. Thank you for your cooperation.

Hello Heather I understand that I may be related to Ziad, but I am also related to two other contractors who show up here on homestars for the same services. I repeat I am sorry you had a bad experience, but my company did not do the job, and this is not a kind of work we do. As you can see from all our previous comments we take great pride in our customer service. Do you feel this is fair to us as a company to be blamed for something we did not do?

I am sorry you have a bad experience but you really should take it up with Ziad at Burl-Oak Lawn Maintenance and snow removal, as there is nothing we can do about this from our end. I do not have an address and in the unlikely event i know whats going on, this kind of work is not something we do. We are Hardscape contractors and build driveways and patios. We do not do plantings and sod.

backyard construction / landscaping

I would highly recommend Burloak Landscaping. Was impressed with the knowledge and recommendations provided from beginning to the final product. Workers worked diligently and ensured the job was to my satisfaction. The job site was left clean each time crew left during construction phase and a final clean on completion of work. I have enjoyed my new backyard for 2 weeks now and am thrilled with it.

The driveway was perhaps one of the nicest we have built to date. We will certainly put it up on our website. Thanks again for all your patience. I will send photos soon that our photographer has sent. Cheers!
