Customer Feedback:
Birkmyer Landscapes
“I have been working with Birkmeyer Landscaping for the last 7 or 8 years, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. They are the best landscaping people that I have worked with. They are accommodating, on time, and their work is always the best. Phil Birkmeyer is just one of the best businessmen that I have ever worked with. We have established a warm friendship as a result of the satisfaction that my wife and I have had with his work. I give him a triple A rating and hope that my reference gets him the work that he deserves.”

Customer Feedback:
Brilliant Buildings
“I found them in the Good Service Guide, and they did many things for us: sheer panels, seismic bracing for our new house, retrofitting our foundation, and lifting the house to make it level. They are hardworking, very skilled, and versatile. The house looks great!”

Customer Feedback:
Handyman Connection
“They’ve done all kinds of things for me, for quite some time now. The last thing they did was install a ceiling fan in my home. I enjoy their prompt service, the people they send out are very polite, and I’ve just been very happy with them.”
