"After looking for landscapers for months, we found Platinum Ponds and Landscaping through Home Advisor. The owner, Ryan, immediately responded to my call, came quickly to do an estimate and stayed in touch while they scheduled our work. We had a difficult job of trying to join a new patio to some old existing bricks so it was challenging but I am very happy with the result. We will certainly call Ryan again. His crew was professional, friendly and always cleaned up to our satisfaction."
"Nate and Tom did a wonderful job. Their work is top notch. They were easy to work with, consistently checked to make sure that we were happy with the work and performed the work in a professional and excellent manner. The final result of sprinkling install, landscaping, plant and tree install and yard install is just what we wanted. We highly recommend them."
My journey into interior decorating and home staging began with a genuine love for design that I've carried since childhood. Growing up, I was always rearranging rooms, experimenting with colors, and finding ways to make spaces feel welcoming and beautiful. Friends and family often sought my help to transform their own homes, whether it was creating a cozy room or preparing a house to appeal to buyers. Realizing how much joy I found in helping others bring their visions to life, I knew it was time to turn this passion into something more. I decided to start my own business, where I could not only decorate but also offer home staging services. Now, I get to combine creativity with strategy, creating spaces that feel personal and designing homes that stand out in the real estate market. Each project is an opportunity to bring warmth, style, and functionality to the homes of my clients.

"Service was outstanding. They provided excellent instructions for measuring and ordering. Table pads were delivered ahead of schedule and they look terrific!"
"Had a burned cable smell in our house. I looked up for an electrician on Angie's List and and randomly picked this company and called them. There were very responsive. They came over in around 20 minutes. This is great! A for responsiveness and punctuality. They started checking each power outlet in the house to locate the root cause. After spending an hour, they found a box with a loose wire and fixed it. The smell diminished and eventually went away after their service. So, they deserve A for Quality. One thing I did not like was the ridiculous amount of time they spend on insignificant tasks. I had a light switch that was warmer than usual so they wanted to measured the temperature of the switch using the laser thermometer I gave them. They spent around 10-15 min to get a reading on the thermometer. Eventually they gave up because the thermometer did not return any meaningful value. Their time is very expensive so every minute they spend should be spent efficiently , effectively and professionally. Finally they finished their work, packed their tool box and left the house. They both got in the van and sat there for around 15-20 minutes. Then one them got out of the van to bring me the invoice. Checking the invoice carefully, I realized they charged me for the time they sat in the van and write up the invoice which should not have taken more than 5 min to begin with. Preparing an invoice is not an electrical service, it is an administrative service. Therefore, I find it unacceptable to charge the client the top dollar for filling out paperwork. Almost every company I worked with send their invoice by mail after they provide the service. The ones that need to charge for the service on premises do it very quickly and do not charge me for the paperwork time. I find this both unethical and unprofessional. Customer support was somehow helpful and agreed to reimburse for a portion of it."
"Knowledgeable, professional, excellent communication and customer service! Highly recommended. My project required significantly more work and time than I was originally quoted. The Roofing Services completed the job and did not charge me for the extra time. Honest, dependable, quality service at a very reasonable price."
Before investing in motion sensor lights, there are a couple of disadvantages worth noting. For starters, they’re not as reliable as other forms of lighting. Motion sensor lights can be accidentally triggered by pets or wind, which can become a nuisance after a while. The opposite situation can occur, too, where they don’t turn on when you need them to.
Installing outdoor lighting can increase your home’s value by up to $2,500. The average ROI on landscape lighting is around 50%, but how much your home increases depends on the market, the type of lighting, and whether you have a strong strategy for your landscaping lighting project. LED and solar lighting may offer the highest ROIs.
Between seasons, inspect cords for damage, replace burnt-out bulbs, and clean lighting fixtures to prevent dirt buildup. Proper storage in cool, dry conditions will extend the lights' lifespan and minimize repairs or replacements when redeployed.
Modern outdoor light fixtures are waterproof and weather resistant, and, provided they’re installed correctly and by a professional, the fixture and wiring can last for 20 to 30 years or more. The lifespan will depend largely on the quality of the fixture. The lifespan of the bulb will depend on the type of light you install:
CFL bulb (for sustained use): 15,000 hours
Halogen bulb (mostly for security): 2,000 hours
HID bulbs (for security): 12,000 hours
Incandescent bulb: 1,000 hours
LED bulb: 50,000 hours
The majority of potential burglars are amateurs looking to make a quick buck after breaking and entering. By installing motion-sensor lights, alarm systems, and security cameras, throughout the home, there’s a good chance you will deter crime on your property.
