Burkholder Brothers provides fine landscape and hardscape design services to Norristown homeowner featured on cable show
(Aston, PA – June 7, 2010) Burkholder Brothers (Burkholder), a leading landscaping business in the Delaware Valley, was invited by A&E’s “Drill Team” to take part in a Norristown, PA homeowner’s outdoor space transformation. The homeowners, Marc and Chrissy Sirianni, will be featured on an episode to be aired on June 19, 2010 at 12:00pm ET. In "Drill Team," a team of experts battle the clock to help a desperate homeowner get their renovation project done on time for a big event. In the Sirianni situation, they were planning to host their cousin’s graduation party in their backyard which needed quite a bit of work. However, the contractor who committed to the project never delivered. The Drill Team was contacted in a last-ditch effort and they, in turn, asked Burkholder to work on their team. Of course, the project was completed on time and beyond the homeowners’ expectations. Burkholder will be hosting an “open house” for family and friends to join them in watching their cable t.v. debut.Each week "Drill Team" restores the calm after natural disasters and nightmare renovations. With a real deadline only days away, carpenters Jeff Devlin and BranDon Russell along with designer Lauren Makk help save the day for a desperate homeowner. Whether it's picking up the pieces and rebuilding after a tragedy like a fire or flood, or tackling a renovation that's gotten out of hand, the Drill Team transforms unbearable situations into unbelievable realities in each one hour episode. "Drill Team" is produced for A&E Network by Nancy Glass Productions.
The Sirianni’s outdoor project involved an outdoor space design in the backyard, along with a pool renovation. Burkholder managed the landscape and hardscape design which was comprised of a patio, seating walls and fire pit, all built to provide a spacious entertainment area while blending harmoniously with the property. Another contractor handled the pool renovation. The Burkholder team added the finishing touches with colorful plantings, grading and sod installation.
“The Sirianni family was in desperate need of an experienced landscape and hardscape design team and professional pool installer who could get the job done quickly without sacrificing beauty in the design,” stated Carla Macknet, the co-producer. “We came across Burkholder Brothers, a one-stop-shop for design/build services, through a referral who told us about the fine work and awesome results they achieve for their customers. And, sure enough, the Burkholder team went above and beyond. The Sirianni family were extremely grateful to the entire team for pulling together the elegant transformation of their backyard and refurbished in-ground pool…just in the knick of time for their cousin’s graduation party.”
“We were thrilled and honored to be asked by A&E to participate in the ‘Drill Team’ renovation project,” stated Barry Burkholder, co-owner of Burkholder. “The condition of the Sirianni’s back yard when we first visited is far from the relax and escape haven it is today. Our team did a great job from design through implementation. The project was exciting, challenging and, at times, frustrating with uncooperative weather. However, rainy weather in the springtime and tight deadlines are challenges our team is ready to battle. In the end, we met the deadline while still weaving in our signature ‘fine design’ touches. Everyone was extremely pleased with the outcome – and that’s what matters most to us…plus we had a lot of fun!”
