"I highly recommend Brighten Up Electric,INC. I called scheduled for a time and Sammy came out on time. I wasn’t waiting around and was called ahead to let me know he was on the way! Sammy put in a outdoor outlet very professional and respectful of my home. He did a great job afterwards cleaned up and made sure I was satisfied. Definitely going to use them again and definitely requesting Sammy for my next project."

"We were thoroughly impressed with Efren and his crew's work on our large, heavily wooded acre. The spring clean-up was substantial, but they handled it with remarkable efficiency and meticulous attention to detail. From the thorough leaf removal to the precise edging and expert mulching, every aspect was completed to a high standard. Efren was also incredibly accommodating, working with our schedule and specific requests. His team was fast, respectful, and left our property looking beautifully refreshed. The pricing was fair, and we're excited to work with them again in the future."

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

Don’t worry if there’s a gap between cutting and planting an ideal branch. You can still cut the perfect branch when you see it. If you can’t get it in a pot or water right away, put it in a zip-top bag in the refrigerator. When you’re ready to finish the process, make a fresh cut.

Palm trees are relatively easy to grow, especially when planting different varieties in their native habitats. While regular watering is crucial in the first couple of months while the palm develops a strong root ball, palms typically require minimal maintenance once they’re established. You’ll need to prune palm fronds once or twice per year to keep it in tip-top shape.

The best type of rock for landscaping depends on your specific project and needs, as different rocks are suited for different applications. For covering large areas or creating an affordable driveway, consider gravel, but note that it can wash away in flowing water. For water features, river rocks are a good option. Flagstone and cobblestone are ideal for aesthetically pleasing patios and walkways. If you are building a stone wall, fieldstone or small boulders are up to the task. Large boulders and landscape rocks work well as statement pieces, to fill empty space, or to indicate boundaries, but be mindful that they can overwhelm smaller gardens. The best approach is to first define your landscaping project and then select the rock type that best fits that purpose.

The best time to plant a tree is in the spring, so the roots have time to grow into the surrounding soil before winter sets in. Some people recommend planting in the late fall. However, planting in the spring reduces the stress on the tree, as it will be emerging from dormancy, giving it the full spring and summer ahead to acclimate and put down roots into the soil.

The truth is, there really is no such thing as a 100% deer-proof plant. Deer will decimate even the prickliest flora if they’re hungry enough. However, there are plenty of beautiful plants that deer don’t necessarily enjoy. These include thistles, wisteria vines, sword ferns, and beautyberries.

Deer are herbivores, and they love vegetable gardens as much as Peter Rabbit. If you don’t want to fence in your entire property, consider creating an attractive raised-bed veggie garden with mesh fencing around it to keep out deer and other critters.
