"Our old sprinkler system had sprung several leaks and needed to be replaced. I called Gabriels Gardens, was told that he would be here at noon the next day and he showed up at 11:55. <br /> <br /> We discussed the needed repairs, agreed upon a price and I was told that they would start the following Monday at 9:00. The workers showed up at 8:30 and got right to work digging up what turned out to be about 4 old systems. They added a couple of sprinkler heads to give the yard complete coverage, uncovered a couple of others I didn't even know we had and added a zone to the system to make it more effective at no additional cost. <br /> <br /> After the work was finished the crew did a wonderful job of cleaning up, including a couple of areas that weren't their mess. They topped it all off by trimming a couple of bushes and seeding some bare patches in the yard. <br /> <br /> I signed up for a twice a year maintenance program they offer and in the spring I plan to have them back to re-seed the front yard. <br /> <br /> This company is fast, professional, friendly and efficient. In addition to sprinkler systems they offer a wide variety of landscaping and home maintenance services ."

"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."

"Our 36 year old aggregate driveway was removed and replaced, as was the cement apron that connects the driveway to the street.  The previous driveway <br /> was cracked and not draining efficiently.  Cars hit bottom on the peak of the apron.  <br /> The new driveway was constructed with classic colored pavers in 'muster K' pattern, and they look great.  Near to the house and garage, the driveway was raised one foot above the original grade.  Cars now clear the hill easily by a couple of inches; there is no longer a 'peak' from apron to driveway surface and the entire driveway is a gentle grade down to the porch and garage.  <br /> The highly compacted and carefully measured subsurface base made for a perfectly contoured and flat paver surface; the pavers run straight as an arrow. <br /> The new cement apron was poured with a new eased (lowered) grade--very well done. <br /> Graham imbedded a 3 or 4 inch diameter conduit under the pavers to run irrigation lines under the driveway, and more room remains available to run electrical light cords or other light utilities under the finished driveway.  The driveway drains properly down hill from the street to the garage and empties into a long covered gutter rather than into a single round drain.  The covered and grated gutter is nicely let into the pavers and looks good and is easy to wash out if needed--the car drives smoothly over the drain system. <br /> We feel that the aesthetic look of the drive enhanced the front of our house very well.  We are very pleased to have made the change! <br /> The team of workers from Graham Landscape and Design were easy to work with, polite, punctual, on task, and they have the experience and knowledge to complete very professional paver driveway systems.  They men were highly detailed in each measurement and application; well done. <br />"

FAQs for holiday lighting add or remove projects in Sweet Home, OR

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.
