"He drew it and took pics of himself doing it otherwise we wouldn't believe even drew it. It looks like a photograph. We've never seen anything like it. He's amazing. He has also hand drawn pictures of my wedding and of my grand father for his funeral service."

"Not only the owner of Cornerstone is named Tim, but also the friendly and helpful young landscape architect who worked closely with me and developed all the plans. Tim the landscape architect was readily available and easy to work with; he took my very basic ideas and worked up beautiful computer-generated options and photos for landscaping and shrubs adjoining the patio, options I found really helpful, attractive and reasonably affordable. When the patio was installed by Cornerstone's crew, Tim the landscape architect was on-site for practically the whole project. Since the patio was installed adjoining a backyard slope, given the inclination necessary for proper drainage, afterwards I thought the effect looked a little odd, like the patio was sliding down the hill (an optical effect only). When I contacted Cornerstone with my aesthetic concerns, Tim the owner and Tim the landscape architect came out to confer with me. They checked the patio installation and found it as was necessary for proper drainage and alignment with surrounding sidewalks. But Tim the owner insisted he wanted me to be happy with Cornerstone's project, and, at no cost, would make alterations to make me happy. They'd even tear up the patio and put it in differently with all new pavers, a drastic course of action I surely didn't want. Instead, I chose a different option Cornerstone offered--building up part of the backyard with lots more dirt and seeded grass, and building an additional flowerbed, shrubs and metal edging around another edge of the patio, so it is contained and would seem to be nestling in a mini-garden. This all was done by Cornerstone a month or so after the original patio was laid. Now it's Spring, and I can see the results are outstanding! The patio looks great. And nestled. And I can sit on the patio surrounded on three sides by beautiful flowering shrubs. Cornerstone told me they wanted me to be happy with their work--and I am really happy! I highly recommend Cornerstone Landscaping. <br />"

"Paragon does very professional work. We have gotten to know the owner personally as well as a number of his year-round employees. They are very customer focused and responsive to our needs. They take pride in their work and it shows. We have a rather large lot with a lot of landscaping, so we spend between $6,000 and $9,000 on maintenance annually depending upon how much new landscaping work needs to be done each year. Last year we had more than the usual expenditures because we had to replace some trees that were damaged in the June windstorm. Oh, and Paragon removed the damaged trees for us too. Paragon is a quality company that delivers quality products and services. You couldn't go wrong by hiring them for any lawn or landscape project. <br /> <br />"

FAQs for holiday lighting add or remove projects in Ossian, IN

If climbing ladders or handling wiring isn’t in your comfort zone, hire a pro. Look for installers who post clear per-foot or hourly rates, carry insurance, and have solid reviews. Comparing at least three quotes helps you spot fair pricing without sacrificing safety. Skipping credentials to save a few dollars can cost you far more in repairs, so pick a qualified team and enjoy a safe, eye-catching display.

Yes, booking between February and September often scores lower rates because demand is light and pros have open calendars. You might even negotiate a discount package that includes removal or storage. If the budget is tight, ask whether a handyperson or an off-season permanent-light install makes sense for your home and timeline.

Determining the number of holiday lights for your house depends on your home’s size and specific decorative vision. Your project requires 10 to 20 light strands for a basic exterior display, with 100 lights allocated for eaves and an additional 10 to 20 bulbs for each awning. 

For trees and substantial shrubs, allocate five to 10 strands per unit to achieve complete and balanced illumination across your property.

Tipping isn’t mandatory, but it’s a nice way to thank your installer for a job well done. Most homeowners offer 10% to 20% of the total bill or round up to an even figure if the crew exceeds expectations. A small extra goes a long way toward showing appreciation—and may help you snag priority booking next season.

Yes, you can install holiday lights yourself if your property layout is straightforward and your electrical system is secure. Homeowners who are confident in their ability to safely handle wiring and use proper equipment can save money with a DIY approach. 

However, it is crucial to test all outlets thoroughly and secure the proper ladders and safety gear before starting. Careful planning and adherence to safety guidelines are essential to protect yourself and your home while achieving an attractive display.

Start by clearing the area of loose debris, damaged shingles, and anything that could trip you up. Test outdoor outlets and, if you’re unsure, bring in an electrician. Use a sturdy extension ladder (or scaffolding for very high spots) and never work alone—having a helper steady the ladder is non-negotiable. Taking these simple steps keeps you, your roof, and your new lights safe.
