I am a very handy person when it comes to home repairs. I can fix about anything. But recently, my power went out and that was one thing I would not touch. I made a couple of phone calls to electricians, and tried to pick there brains. No one was more friendly and knowledgeable than you. ...read more

This is usually not my thing to write about a company but I had to share my experience. This was the 3rd place I called but it should\'ve been the first. I was treated like a customer and not an expert, they came out right away and looked clean and professional, got the job done and for half the price the first 2 companies quoted me. Whoever is reading this review call this comapny if you need pest control. They're great! ...read more

Landscape Benefits: Aesthetics, Function, and Low Maintenance
By Nora Santhoeurn Rising Sun Landscaping&Maintenance; Rio Rancho, NM If you’re considering a landscaping project, then you’re bound to have many questions including exactly what the best options are and how much things will cost. My current and new customers often ask me questions around these topics. Over time, I developed one approach that may help organize your thoughts and approach to deciding what landscaping makes sense for you. This approach assumes you’re going to hire a landscape contractor to handle installation of landscaping. If you’re considering do-it-yourself, then you’ll also have to consider all the issues of hidden costs for permits, storage, delivery, equipment, trash removal, etc. Costs? A first approach is to considercost-benefit, but I always suggest that you avoid focusingfirst on cost. Why? Because cost can be confusing before you know what you really wantout of your landscaping project. If you’re unsure about the benefits you want from yourlandscaping, then the concept of cost will be unsure and confusing. Start with benefits! A little discussion about cost is useful though. Remember there are two primary sources ofcost from your landscaping: •Cost to install: o One time cost (per project) oNew landscaping efforts •Maintenance cost: o Recurring cost o Maintaining your landscaping Benefits ? While you may consider many things beneficial in landscaping, let’s start withBeneficial Objectivesto your landscaping. These are really those high-level motivations that drive you to consider landscaping in the first place. It’s a good idea to write down what benefits you seek from landscaping. Why? Because later on when you have 101 options to consider and you must eliminate some, you can ask yourself “Does this option really contribute to the landscaping objective I want?” You can also communicate these to your landscape contractor so they know what you want to achieve. Here is a list a of a few beneficial objectives that might be useful in starting to think about landscaping benefits for your project. You may think of others not listed that are more specific to your situation. See more detail under each category in my website full blog post. Beneficial Objectives: • Pleasure • Convenience • Health • Financial These benefits continue year-after-year, so consider that costs are really spread over time. With your objectives made clear, it’s time to add some detail about the actual landscaping benefits you want to consider. I group them into three categories to simplify the approach. • Aesthetics, • Function, and • Low-maintenance. These are the real benefits that are added to your yard. When you consider a particular element, consider how it contributes or detracts from these three categories. Here is a list of Landscaping Benefits in three categories. You will want to consider others that do not appear in these lists. See more detail under each category in my website full blog post. • Use • Exposure control • Safety • Privacy • Security Landscaping Benefit: Low-Maintenance Low-maintenance benefit is the avoidance of undue maintenance by choosing what you want while being mindful of the maintenance in the future. Balance maintenance with what you can do yourself and what you have time to do. Balance it with the cost of maintaining landscaping features you install. Also balance this with function and aesthetics. As an extreme example, paving your entire yard with concrete is relatively low-maintenance but it is not very aesthetic! See more detail under each category in my website full blog post. • Consider the future growth • Proper irrigation • Upkeep • Water usage You may not care about low-maintenance options if the benefits you’ve chosen outweighmaintenance costs for you. As you review the items above. Consider making lists that will help you plan andcommunicate with your landscape contractor. Your contractor may have other ideas thatcan contribute to your planning, including cost of installing and maintaining. •Beneficial objectives important to you •Landscaping benefits important to you: oAesthetics, oFunction, oLow-maintenance When you obtain quotes for various elements of your yard, you’ll start to obtaininstallation and maintenance costs that you can weigh with the benefits you’ve listed. Youcan then start ordering these with the best cost-benefit at the top. If you have a limitedbudget, draw a line where you want to stop for this project and save to start on the next! ...read more
