Burkholder Landscape Transformation

In the summer of 2020, many homeowners will spend more time at home in their backyards than ever before, so many are thinking of upgrading their outdoor space. Burkholder recently redesigned a Main Line landscape that was functional but needed an update. Look at the resulting Staycation Location!

  • Before- The outdoor patio is a nice size but has aged and the grill is far from the door.

  • After- The new built in kitchen and grill are right next to the door for convenient transport of cooking items. A pergola adds a nice bit of decor and a bar with chairs offers nearby dining.

  • Before- A paver walkway leads to the patio entrance at the side of the house, where a fire table and chaise lounges are available.

  • After- A new Techo-Bloc walkway leads to patio made with Techo-Bloc Blu60 pavers. The space includes new chairs, shrubs, and a seating area around a natural stone veneer fireplace.

  • Before- Grill is right beside the fire table and backing up to a neglected plant bed.

  • After- The kitchen and grill is closer to the house, and conveniently located next to the new fireplace, a Techo-Bloc wall has built-in firewood storage. The bed has been filled with bright flowers and the wall doubles as additional seating.

  • After- Techo-Bloc Retaining walls and seating located near outdoor kitchen and dining, adjacent to the cozy fireplace area.

  • After- Natural stone veneer fireplace with built-in Techo-Bloc seating attached.

  • After- Beautiful, functional space that is easy to maintain and offers homeowners a comfortable place to vacation at home in their own backyards.
