Behnke Nurseries doesn’t just offer plants and landscaping; we also offer holiday lighting – from installation of your selections to custom design consultation. Our professional design consultants will meet with you to determine what will best suit your design needs, residential or commercial, holiday or special event.

With Behnke’s Holiday Lighting, you can choose from a wide variety of beautiful and creative designs for holiday or any occasion. Behnke’s can custom design and build a display for any special event or function.

Behnke’s Decorating Offers:

• Design Consultation
  Our professional design consultants will meet with you to determine your lighting needs, whether it be holiday, event, home, or business. We can assist in designing a display, discuss and expand on your ideas, and offer advice as to the best type of lighting for what you want to accomplish.
• Custom Built Displays
  Do you have a custom lighted display idea? Or a special event, trade show, grand opening, party? Our experienced lighting technicians can build displays based on your design ideas.
• Installation
  If, you’ve ever decorated, especially outdoors, you know that it can be time consuming and you still need to consider ladders, weather conditions, and the like. Wouldn’t it be nice to have it all installed for you?
• Service and Maintenance
  How many times have you unpacked last year’s lights only to find bulbs broken, missing, or unlit? Our lighting technicians are trained to offer you the highest quality service and maintenance on your lighted decorations. They will replace bulbs and repair damage to ensure a safe and lasting display.
• Take down and packaging
  After the holidays are over you are left with the task of taking down the lights and displays, wouldn’t it be nice to have it done for you? All of your holiday decorations wrapped and safely packaged for storage. Behnke’s will work with you to schedule time to take down and pack your holiday displays for you, one less thing you need remember.

There are endless benefits to landscaping your yard. Landscaping makes dull areas pleasing. It is possible to make ordinary homes into spectacular ones and office buildings into warm, livable spaces.

Beautiful landscaping increases the property value of your home. The American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA) recommends that you invest 10 percent of your home’s value in landscaping. This investment in your property’s appearance can grow to 20 percent of your home’s value. This is certainly an area you do not want to neglect!

August is the best time to schedule a site consultation with Behnke Design and Landscape. Thoughtful landscape planning takes time. Clients that contact us in August are able to meet with our Design staff, complete the design process, and move quickly to have their project installed by early fall!

Behnke Nurseries is pleased to announce that we have opened a Landscape office at our garden center in Potomac MD, to offer more convenient service for our Montgomery County customers.

Now you can meet with our innovative designers at either our Beltsville or our Potomac location. (Since our designers work both in the field and office, meetings at either location are by appointment only.)

Behnke Nurseries Design and Installation staff will work with you through all the stages of your landscape project. From the initial consultation and site visit with our designer, developing a formal design, to the installation of plants and hardscape features, you will feel that your “outdoor living space” is in the best of hands.

Thanks to the “buying power” of our garden centers, Behnke’s has access to hard to find types and sizes of plants from growers from across the country. Whether you are looking for that “sense of place” feeling that comes from a landscape of plants from the mid-Atlantic, a garden that reflects your heritage, or a landscape that reflects current trends or fashions, our designers and install crews will make sure your dreams come true.

Working with Behnke Nurseries Landscaping assures you that the installation crews are Behnke Nurseries’ employees. We work with you from start to finish and don’t vanish after your project is complete. With a registered landscape architect on staff, we provide services from simple tree and shrub replacement plantings, to full scale design-build projects incorporating patios, walkways, walls, outdoor kitchens, exterior lighting and fencing. Our main focus is our residential clients but we also service discriminating commercial companies.

It is a good idea to plan ahead to get a professional plan! Call 240-473-6733 or email us at landscaping@behnkes.net as soon as possible. If an operator is unable to answer your call immediately due to the volume of incoming calls in the Spring season, please leave a voice message so that we may return your call.
