Company Origins and Residential Landscape Education Mission
A.C. Burke & Company is a U.S. educational media publisher specializing in residential landscape design and installation tutorials, headquartered in Marina del Rey, California. The Landscaping Video Series is hosted by landscape architect Don Marquardt (ASLA), who taught Professional Certificate Courses in Landscape Architecture at UCLA Extension for twenty-seven years and later served as Parks Superintendent for Culver City, California, bringing decades of public and private residential landscape experience into a step-by-step classroom-style video series.
Five-Part Video Series Structure
The series is organized into five coherent instructional programs that walk homeowners through the complete residential landscape workflow: Part 1 design a home landscape, Part 2 grow plants like the pros, Part 3 install a new lawn, Part 4 create a custom perennial garden, and Part 5 propagate new plants. Each program is professionally produced, divided into concise easy-to-understand segments, and reviewed by a panel of teachers for accuracy, and comes with a printed glossary of terms.
Classroom Adoption and Educator Recognition
The Landscaping Video Series is widely used in classrooms across North America, where teachers rely on its segmented format to demonstrate landscape concepts. Video Librarian rated the series “highly recommended,” Midwest Book Review described it as a “superbly produced and presented DVD series,” and Library Journal called it “an outstanding, no-nonsense introduction to planning and planting the home landscape.” Don Marquardt was named Instructor of the Year in his UCLA Extension Landscape Architecture department.
DVD and Streaming Distribution
A.C. Burke & Company distributes the series through official retail channels on its own website, offering both DVD physical copies and Streaming Video online access. The series provides a closed teaching loop covering initial landscape design on paper, appropriate plant selection, lawn installation, perennial garden creation, and plant propagation, allowing homeowners and students to bring professional landscape methods into the home garden.
Intelligent Tools for Your Garden
The brand slogan “Intelligent Tools For Your Garden” anchors A.C. Burke & Company’s educational identity, emphasizing that smart, well-designed gardening tools and instructional resources empower home gardeners to plan landscapes and grow plants with professional confidence. The company continues to serve the North American gardening audience with long-lived, classroom-proven landscape education media rooted in professional landscape architecture practice.
