Kerry Burt & Associates

We used Kerry Burt Associates Landscape Architecture for some long overdue planning and improvements on our still bare 1/3 acre lot from a 2004 built neighborhood. The existing property had two poorly placed and ill growing trees in front, but otherwise still bare. And in addition had a 3 ft. deep ravine running through the backyard lined with jagged rocks that were a hazard to our kids. Kerry helped us draw up a full plan for the front, side, and backyards that we could portion into pieces to execute as our budget allowed. For the first step we had his company create a brick border around our front flower beds, plant 8 trees in our side yard, and fill in the backyard ravine with a proper French drain and soil. We couldn’t be happier with the results! We will definitely be using Kerry to finish the rest of the beautiful plan he helped create.

Beautiful design, professional and timely installation. Excellent choice of colors and textures both for plantings and for stone surfaces. We love the new patio/pool area!

We had a very positive experience working with Kerry Burt and his team. His communication and follow through were excellent, and he set realistic expectations on timelines and project length. We had a fairly large project completed in our backyard with sprinkler work, hardscaping and landscaping and all of the components were completed well and to expectation. Kerry was able to produce a design that incorporated some existing work as well as adopt modern accents that fit our remodeled home. We were pleased with the plants chosen after discussions about what we like and with guidance on what will grow well in our climate and in our space. Kerry’s crew was hard working and cleaned up each day of the project. We would recommend Kerry and his team without hesitation.

We used Kerry Burt & Associates for a complete remodel of our backyard. We sent him a few example pictures of things we like and told him what we thought we would like. After our discussions he came up with a design and sat down with us to discuss everything. We also used Kerry Burt & Associates for the demolition and construction. Everything was done on schedule and they worked with our irrigation company to schedule the sprinkler install. Kerry is very easy to get along with and took into consideration all of our concerns and ideas and then recommended what to do based on his experience. We will be using them to do another area in our backyard and would recommend to anyone.

It was a real pleasure working with Kerry and Associates. Our landscape design project was no easy task! Two big 40’tall-19” round trees were brought in,ironwork was created, retaining walls were built and a beautiful landscape backdrop that makes our neighbors disappear. Kerry and his team exemplify professionalism. Kerry’s vision, consideration to our needs and attention to detail is “spot on”. We continue to receive compliments on our beautiful landscaping. A job well done! He and his team are 5 star! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Vicki and Bill

Fantastic company. We needed to stick to a budget and Kerry worked with us on the landscaping plan and kept within a strict budget. Professional, accommodating, wonderful to work with at every turn

Kerry Burt & Associates did an excellent job designing and then implementing that design in our front yard. They also creatively handled an area in our yard that wants to pool water and their solution looks beautiful! I highly recommend them as Kerry delivered what he promised in the time-frame that we expected with fantastic results. Thank you!

Kerry Burt and his crew did an amazing job on our home project. We put in a 25' x 25' travertine patio and completely redesigned our front yard including new plants throughout. Additionally, we redesigned the side yard. Throughout the process, Kerry was great to work with. He customized our designs based on our preferences while providing advice as to what material and plants worked bests. His crew was simply the best crew I have ever had at my house. They had a great attention to detail, professional approach, and respectful attitude including their attention to cleaning up each day. They were wonderful to work with and worked very hard each day. Kerry Burt is who I am recommending for all of our future jobs and to my neighbors and friends.

I have worked with Kerry on 3 different homes/projects. The scope of work has ranged from enhancing an existing landscape to a total re-design and installation. I love that he is able to transform my goals into a beautiful plan. I especially appreciate his knowledge and willingness to brain storm as we fine tune each project. I have found Kerry very easy to work with and fair in his pricing

We had a great experience working with Kerry & his team on our backyard project! Our 15 year old patio, pool and landscaping was dated and starting to fall apart so we ended up starting from scratch. The pool was re-surfaced, the patio expanded and new landscaping added. We also put in an outdoor kitchen & fireplace and added a beam to our patio overhang so we had more open space. We also put in improved drainage & landscape lighting. The project lasted a few months but was delivered on time, on budget and the work quality is high. Kerry & his team are easy to work with and we’re very pleased with the outcome.

I have used Kerry Burt on 3 major yard projects. He is excellent to work with- creative practical and experienced in different landscaping styles. He is on time and reasonably priced. His work crews a good, experienced, reasonable and reliable. I heartily recommend him!

My wife and I contracted Kerry to do a landscape design project for our home. He did a wonderful job with the design of the landscape and picking and placing a wide variety of flowers and plants that will thrive in north Texas. His subcontractors are very talented and detailed the same way Kerry is and they were not happy until we were. If you want a real professional, with a keen attention to detail and great follow thru that can provide you a long term solution for your landscaping needs I would highly reccomend Kerry and his team.

Kerry Burt did an exceptional job designing and implementing the landscape plan for our new home. He was attentive to our needs and wants and finished the project on time and within budget. His crew worked very hard and did an incredible job with the stonework especially around the waterfall. We highly recommend Kerry Burt and Associates.

Kerry Burt is an extremely talented Landscape Architect! My husband and I had the pleasure of working with him on our extensive backyard renovation project. He, and his team, transformed our bland patio into a charming English-style courtyard complete with travertine flooring and a beautiful stone vanishing fountain. Kerry also included a very nice stone outdoor kitchen area with granite countertops, built-in grill, and refrigerator. Our patio/courtyard is now a wonderful space for entertaining, or just for relaxing. It is surrounded by new lawn and lovely English-style garden beds that Kerry designed specifically for us. We now have a gorgeous outdoor space that has become our favorite "room" in the house. This outdoor space is also visible from our front door when entering our home. Kerry's design gave us the beautiful focal point we had wanted. It is truly the highlight of our home! We get so many compliments from friends and family! Kerry is a great listener and communicator. After our first meeting with him, he developed a design that captured exactly what we had in mind. He also made some excellent suggestions that enhanced the overall end result. Kerry has great "attention to detail" which we so appreciated!! He kept us updated throughout the entire project, and regularly came by to see how everything was progressing, and to answer any questions we had. His team consisted of highly skilled craftsmen who went to great lengths to make sure everything was done properly and according to Kerry's design. We could not be more pleased with the outcome. I highly recommend Kerry Burt and his enire team!!

Kerry Burt was professional, knowledgeable and very easy to work with ! His workers were professional and did an amazing job ! The project at our home included landscaping and drainage work. Kerry ended up saving us money on the quoted price of our project and met every deadline ! I would highly recommend Kerry Burt and Associates. We Love our Backyard!

Kerry Burt did a great job for me. He was on time, finished the job as described and was very professional in every way. I highly recommend him and would use him again for my projects.

We hired Kerry Burt to solve drainage problems in the front and back of our house. He really listened to us and did everything we wanted and much more. Our yard, walkways and front entrance are beautiful! Kerry is professional, trustworthy and he was on time and budget. We could not be happier with his work and we'll will definitely use him in the future.

My husband and I could not be happier with the landscape design projects Kerry has overseen for us. He has talented subcontractors for hardscape and landscape. The stone work we have had done has been amazing.....fireplaces, outdoor covered areas, misting systems, and great choices for plant combinations to compliment your personal style. Honest and trustworthy, he is top-notch.

Kerry has completed two extensive backyard projects for me. He does an excellent job, both in planning and execution of the project. I recommend him highly. He is knowledgeable and creative. His selection of contractors is beyond reproach. As a professional real estate developer for 46 years, I know quality when I see it. He is the best.

Kerry Burt and Associates....Experienced, professional and highly recommended! I contracted with Kerry Burt and Associates to transform my backyard to an attractive and inviting outdoor space and to add some plantings to the front and side yards. The first step was to ask for a landscape architectural design with pricing. This drawing was an excellent tool to conceptualize the full project and for submission to the HOA. This plan included: addition of 30 feet of black, attractive custom made metal fencing with gates, pouring concrete to extend the patio and covering it with travertine, new irrigation system, landscape lighting, new edging with concrete foundation, staining the rear concrete driveway, installing new zoysia grass, bushes, trees, plants and a 3-container water feature with fountains. Kerry and his crews were exceptional to work with and did not stop until we both agreed that it was correct and there was never any pressure to accept anything until we were satisfied. I highly recommend Kerry Burt and Associates for any or all parts of outdoor design and landscaping. They are full service and can handle outdoor structures, kitchens, landscape design ext....

We wanted someone with experience in landscape design and installation and who would listen to our needs and wants. Kerry was the right guy for the job. He designed a beautiful outdoor living space and backyard that is perfect for relaxing, but also allows my husband to do his container gardening. He gave us a travertine stone patio and built an outdoor grill and stone wall, in addition to adding all the low maintenance landscaping. The one thing we would have done differently is to wait until spring to install the plants, instead of November. I would definitely recommend Kerry to my friends.

Our backyard landscape project was completed on April 23, 2016. We are extremely happy with the results. Kerry Burt was very professional. He is knowledgeable about hardscape, plants and has a good eye for design. We have had several major renovations done to our house including kitchen and bathrooms. Our experience with Kerry was superior compared to those projects. He was personable and responsive to any changes we requested. He listened to our requests and patiently answered a multitude of questions. He responded quickly to all text and emails. He followed the timeline he proposed and helped us keep within our requested budget. He maintains high standards for himself and the crew members he chooses to complete the work. We enthusiastically recommend him to anyone considering landscape design.

Wanted our backyard to look like a European garden. From the design stage thru the actual installation, Kerry Burt did an exceptional job. The travertine stone, plants, and trees make our backyard a beautiful setting. We highly recommend Kerry Burt for your landscaping needs.

Kerry Burt was highly professional, and warm at the same time; a rare combination indeed. He immediately understood that I preferred an old courtyard look rather than a backyard garden.. My " courtyard" has that look, and both my husband and I have utilized the area in the 2 weeks since the project was completed, more than we have in the past 20 years. Kerry's crew were punctual, , organized, and cleaned up as much as possible after the day's work was completed.. All messages and calls were quickly returned, and Kerry's sugesstions added length and width to the entire area. The yard has a very open feell, which makes it look quite a bit larger than it actually is. Kerry utilized the crushed Granite, cobblestones, and astroturf ( in a small area bekind a bench on the side deck). This combination, along with Mexican Rocks brings to this area a warm, relaxing and interesting flow. There are 3 seating areas which enhanses entertaining as well. After viewing Kerry's work at my home, several neighbors , as well,as the Landscape Committee of the Homeowner's Association, contacted him. Kerry was initially recommended by a neighbor who is an Arborist. He told me that he worked with Kerry before and that we would be pleased. PLEASED IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT! We highly recommend Kerry Burt & Assiociates for any Landscape needs.

Kerry was so professional from start to finish with my complete yard renovation. I removed most of the existing plants and replaced them with Kerry's drawing of plants that would look good with my house. I love everything he has done. Any time I called and had a question, he got back to me quickly and answered any question or concern I had. I decided to go with his crew as he assured me he would be on the job several times a day to be sure the exact layout he envisioned would be followed precisely. I can't say enough good things about him. I would use him again and I am happy to have anyone come and look at the finished product he has done for me. He is the best in the business as far as I am concerned. Thanks again for your fantastic job, Kerry! Mary Handley

Kerry acted as both the landscape architect and general contractor for a large project which included new backyard landscaping, flagstone patios and walkways, a fire pit and outdoor kitchen. Our yard is now beautiful, elegant and totally transformed, and the plan more than doubled the outdoor living space that we had before. We are extremely pleased with the final result. Kerry's design-build business was the perfect solution for us. We felt very lucky to have Kerry design such a beautiful plan, and it was an added benefit for us to have him see the project through from beginning to end. He was onsite every day to check in with his construction crew and to meet with other subcontractors and to make sure any questions that we had were addressed. Kerry did an outstanding job for us in the following areas: landscape design, project management, effective communication, flexibility, responsiveness to our needs and concerns, professionalism and quality of work. And on top of all that, Kerry is a very nice guy! I am pleased to recommend him on Houzz and to our neighbors who stop and admire our new backyard.

Kerry drew up the plan for my landscaping project and did an excellent job executing the plan! The final costs were very close to what Kerry quoted.

I found Kerry through Houzz. He installed the landscape in our backyard along with irrigation and plants. We have been very happy with his work and will use him on the remainder of our work. He is a landscape Architect which is what I was seeking, not a designer. He knows plants and how to prepare the proper bedding soil for planting. His team was very respectful and professional. I would definitely recommend him. He is not pushy.

Kerry did an incredible job with our backyard! He transformed a "mostly-pool" backyard into a lush retreat with a lovely side yard. He was very responsive throughout the process, from design through installation, and he responded to our desires with careful consideration. My husband was especially thrilled with his new falconry weathering yard, which Kerry carefully researched and designed.

If you are looking for a professional and knowledgeable designer, you will not be disappointed with Kerry Burt! I was very pleased with how he understood my needs and in his solution offered various options to choose from. All the way from meeting all my needs to delivering something I would have never dreamed of!

We used Kerry Burt & Associates to landscape our backyard and pool area, and to rebuild a stone retaining wall for us. First off, Mr. Burt's estimate was very fair as compared to other companies - we were actually very pleasantly surprised with the quote we received. In addition, although he told us he wouldn't be able to start until early July, he actually called us at the end of June and asked if he could start early. (Of course, we said yes.) Early in the process, we ran into one snafu with our stone retaining wall that had to do with drainage - our new wall was being built higher, but still had to allow for our neighbor's yard to drain. Mr. Burt and his crew came up with a very workable and attractive solution, installing hidden drains underneath the cap stones on the wall. Mr. Burt's crew did an outstanding job on the retaining wall. The landscaping and the new retaining wall (which now features an area where people can sit), has really changed improved the overall feel and appearance of our backyard. They chose great plants for us that seem to be holding up well in the heat, and the quality of their plants appears to be excellent thus far.

We hired Kerry Burt to redo a paver patio that my wife and I built a few years ago. It was a relatively simple job (or so I thought). The end result is far superior to what we had before. They think of every small detail. The crew is very concientious. After our initial contact, we changed our mind on the size of the project. That was no problem with Kerry. On the day they worked the project I threw him another curve (literally) on the shape of one end of the patio. Again, no problem. He cares not only about you and your project but he cares about and trusts his crew to carry out his wishes (or better) when he needs to leave the project for periods of time. We would use Kerry Burt again with NO reservation.

Kerry Burt was amazing. He is a true professional, taking his time to listen to your ideas and design a plan accordingly. He was always on time and prepared with contingency plans as well. His crew was also incredibly professional. Kerry's attention to detail and knowledge of his craft provided confidence in a plan that is delivering terrific results. We have transformed our yard into an Oasis with Kerry's assistance.

I hired Kerry Burt & Associates to redesign my landscape in the spring of 2014. He did an amazing job! I wanted a drought tolerant landscape due to the water restrictions in our area. I also had a few special request that he was able to include in the plan. Through his design on paper, I was able to visualize what the design would look like in real life and it did turn out exactly as he had drawn. I look forward to enjoying the birds and beneficial insects that are now attracted to my yard and watching the landscape bloom and mature in the coming years.

Kerry and his team did an outstanding job on our landscape project. The scope of his work included extensive landscaping, lighting and stonework. We are thrilled with the quality of his work and have gotten many compliments. Unfortunately, not long after our initial landscaping was completed, the drought claimed many of our most expensive plants. True to his word, Kerry replaced them all without issue. We will certainly use Kerry on future projects!

From the initial consultation to project completion it was a pleasure to work with Kerry. He listened to what we wanted in our new zero lot line property and came up with a beautiful design. His work crew was excellent, hard working, polite and cleaned up after work daily. Kerry was at the job site everyday and is very easy to communicate with him. We're very happy with our new patios, fountain and landscaping and look forward to the completion of the 2nd. part of the project next year.

Kerry Burt was very professional and did an outstanding job. He was very easy to work with and turned my yard into my dream. I love it! Kerry gave me an accurate estimate and stayed within my budget. His work is creative and very classy. It was just what I wanted.

Kerry Burt designed and installed landscape designs for the back patios for neighbors on both sides of my home. They were so well done and attractive that I had him do mine. I simply love Kerry Burt's ideas and the excellent way he implements them. He does excellent work and I feel fortunate that i found him. You will be pleased with both his ideas and work.

We recently moved in to a newly-constructed home on a 1 acre lot. We were excited to finally have a "blank canvas" to work with when it came to the landscaping and needed a landscape architect to help us with the vision and design. We wanted to do a lot of the landscaping ourselves, but felt strongly that working with a landscape architect to come up with the design would be a good investment. We learned about Kerry on Houzz and were really happy we were able to work with him. Kerry was exactly what we were looking for. He asked a lot of questions to understand how we intended to use the space and what our goals were. He also listened carefully as we explained as best we could what plants and trees we liked and didn't like. I didn't know a single plant name and only knew very few trees - so I was only able to describe the different plants and trees I liked and what we wanted the different landscape areas to do for us. We were really interested in giving Kerry as much creative freedom as possible to come up with a design that would not be something we would ever be able to create on our own and that met our goals for how we wanted to use the space. I've found that the more latitude a great designer is given, the better the design usually turns out. We were really happy with the design--it exceeded our expectations and we're glad we made the investment. Now we get to make it all happen!

Kerry Burt & Associates are professional, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. For the landscape design dream team of North Dallas, look no further.

Kerry Burt & Associates was contracted last fall for an overall backyard design plan and subsequent travertine pool deck & drainage system installation along with a pergola, stone work enhancement, irrigation and certain plantings. We are extremely satisfied customers! Kerry is not only very knowledgeable in terms of landscaping design and native plantings but is most enjoyable to work with. I have to say that Kerry's crew is also second to none! They each are skilled craftsmen that take pride in their work. From design to finished project, I HIGHLY recommend Kerry Burt! This is a FIRST CLASS company. I'm already looking forward to Phase 2 of our project!

Kerry and his crew were great. From the design of the project to the install, everything was top notch. Trees/shrubs were delivered right before install and the install itself went as scheduled and actually was completed a day early. I was more impressed after the completion, a couple of our trees had shifted due to the high winds and all it took was 1 email to Kerry and the guys fixed the trees that day. I would recommend Kerry Burt & Associates

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed working with Kerry Burt and Assoc. on our backyard patio. From our first meeting, Kerry, was able to create a design that met all of our expectations/goals. He and his crew were on time each day (and finished the project ahead of schedule!), very professional, and cleaned up every evening while they were working on our patio. Everyone on his team worked very hard each day to make sure we were happy with the results. Kerry also kept me informed of any changes (the tile we chose had some red flakes in it that were not on the sample tiles) that had to be made on the project. I have recommened Kerry Burt and Associates to my neighbors and will continue to recommend them. We have been so happy with our patio and look forward to working with Kerry in the future as we expand it.

We hired Kerry Burt to provide us with a landscape plan for our new home that is still under construction. He was very prompt to meet us on the 3 acre property and walk the entire lot. Very attentive and listened to our vision of style and plant preferences . We requested a specific plan for the home perimeter, and a more conceptual plan for the broader spaces, i.e. wooded paths, future pond with mutli waterfalls, bridge, hobby vineyard. He then went back to property and measured grades and noted existing tree placement. In 2 weeks we met and he presented a very creative and beautiful hand drawn design that literally turned our home into a lovely country estate. He was very knowlegeable about plants suited to our soil and climate and plants that are wildlife resistant. Views from interior were considered to capture focal points. The plan took advantage of natural features such as slopes, grades, and dry creeks. The subtle winding driveway approach, which we hadn't thought of, maximizes curb appeal and peaks one's interest toward the ultimate view of the house. He also met with our builder to clarify details. We were provided with four copies of the plan. Would have liked one more meeting before receiving completed plans with a "rough draft" for minor changes, but those can be done when project begins and put those design hours into landscaping costs.

Kerry is very creative in his design, but respectful of limitations that we had with sun. He did not promise what he could not achieve and meet our time line. He was always very accessible and ready to discuss any concerns. I have recommended Kerry many times.

Kerry has done landscape designs for us on 2 different houses. We ended up moving, so did not use the 1st one, but at our new house, we loved the design so much, his company did the full landscape install. Kerry is thoughtful about the plants chosen, based on not only how much or how little maintenance the customer wants to do long term with these plants, but also what the right plants are for our North Texas environment. He considers sun/shade, color factors, drainage, fast/slow growth patterns, water usage and many other necessary factors when he creates his designs. He not only includes beautiful landscape designs for plants, but can also develop designs to include pools, waterfalls, fire pits/fireplaces, statues, decks, covered patios, playgrounds and other outdoor features. He is great at follow up! Kerry treats his customers fairly and with integrity and will exceed your expectations.
