Drawing from project insights and broader home improvement research, the company notes that sustainability, functionality, and modern aesthetics will continue to drive homeowner investments in decks and fences across the region.

GARLAND, TX – December 18, 2025 – PRESSADVANTAGE –
Keathley Landscaping has introduced new drainage system technologies and methodologies to address water management challenges affecting residential properties throughout North Texas. The introduction of these advanced drainage solutions comes as the region experiences increased demand for professional water management services due to clay soil conditions and seasonal rainfall patterns.
The company now offers French drain systems, comprehensive grading solutions, channel drain installations, and custom-designed buried drainage pipes as part of its expanded service portfolio. These drainage solutions address specific water management requirements in communities where improper drainage can damage foundations and landscaping. The expansion responds to documented increases in property damage claims related to water management issues across Dallas, Garland, Wylie, Plano, and Rockwall.
“North Texas properties face unique drainage challenges due to clay soil composition and rainfall patterns that require technical expertise to resolve,” said Logan Keathley, owner of Keathley Landscaping. “Our new drainage technologies and assessment methods allow us to identify water flow issues and implement solutions that protect foundations and landscaping from water damage.”
Logan Keathley, an NDS certified drainage contractor, has implemented new drainage assessment protocols and installation techniques based on certification standards from National Diversified Sales, a drainage products manufacturer. The certification enables access to specialized drainage technologies and installation methodologies that meet industry standards for residential water management.
The introduction of these services addresses drainage issues affecting properties throughout the Dallas metropolitan area. Clay soil conditions in these areas create water retention problems that can lead to foundation damage, landscaping deterioration, and erosion. Professional drainage installation has become increasingly important as these issues typically fall outside standard homeowner insurance coverage parameters. Recent industry data indicates that foundation repairs resulting from poor drainage can cost homeowners between fifteen thousand and fifty thousand dollars, making preventive drainage solutions a growing priority for property owners.
The company’s drainage services complement its existing landscaping offerings, which include sod installation, natural and modern stonework, retaining walls and veneers, outdoor living spaces with kitchens and fire features, flowerbed borders, cedar fence installation, landscape lighting, patio covers, and tree services. This service integration allows property owners to address water management requirements alongside landscape improvements. The addition of specialized drainage capabilities positions the company to handle comprehensive outdoor projects that require both aesthetic enhancement and functional water management.
Keathley Landscaping has operated in the Dallas metropolitan area since 2002, providing landscape design, construction, and maintenance services to residential and commercial properties. The addition of advanced drainage technologies represents an expansion of the company’s technical capabilities in addressing property water management. The company maintains certifications and training partnerships with industry manufacturers to ensure installation methods meet current standards.
The company serves both residential and commercial properties throughout North Texas, offering landscape design and construction, hardscape installation, lawn care and maintenance, and specialized drainage services. Founded in 2002, Keathley Landscaping focuses on outdoor space enhancement and property management solutions for the Dallas metropolitan area, with particular emphasis on addressing the region’s specific soil and climate challenges.

Raleigh Excel Spray Foam Insulation has announced the availability of open-cell spray foam in Cary, NC, expanding insulation options for residential and commercial property owners as the region prepares for fall and winter. The introduction of this service responds to increasing demand for insulation materials that address thermal performance and sound control in buildings where air sealing and comfort are priorities. With cooler temperatures expected in the coming weeks, property owners are evaluating insulation upgrades to reduce energy use and maintain consistent indoor conditions.
Open-cell spray foam is a lighter-density insulation material that expands significantly upon application, filling cavities and irregular spaces in walls, attics, and other areas of a building. The material creates a thermal barrier while also providing sound-dampening qualities, making it suitable for residential settings where noise reduction is a consideration. Unlike higher-density insulation types, open-cell spray foam is applied at a lower density, which allows it to cover larger areas with less material while still achieving effective insulation values.
Raleigh Excel Spray Foam Insulation in Cary, NC, has been serving property owners with a range of insulation solutions, and the addition of open-cell spray foam gives clients another option when evaluating building performance improvements. Insulation plays a significant role in energy consumption, with heating and cooling accounting for a large share of utility expenses for both homes and businesses. In regions like North Carolina, where seasonal temperature shifts require heating in winter and cooling in summer, the quality of insulation directly affects how efficiently climate control systems operate.
Daniel Harper, owner of Raleigh Excel Spray Foam Insulation, explained the decision to introduce open-cell spray foam to the local market. “We are seeing more property owners in Cary who want to address both energy performance and indoor comfort without making extensive structural changes. An open-cell spray foam company offers flexibility in application and performs well in areas where both sound control and thermal resistance are important. As fall arrives and people start thinking about winter preparation, this type of insulation provides a practical way to improve building performance before heating demands increase,” Harper said.
The service is available to both residential and commercial clients. In homes, open-cell spray foam is commonly applied in interior walls, attics, and crawl spaces, where it can reduce heat transfer and limit air movement. In commercial spaces such as offices, retail locations, and warehouses, the material is used in similar applications, particularly in environments where noise levels and temperature control are ongoing concerns. The lower density of open-cell spray foam also makes it a lighter option compared to closed-cell alternatives, which can be relevant in specific building designs and renovation projects.
Fall is widely recognized as a suitable time for insulation work because it allows property owners to complete improvements before winter weather arrives. Addressing insulation gaps during this period can prevent higher energy costs later in the season, when heating systems run more frequently to maintain interior temperatures. For businesses, insulation improvements can also contribute to employee comfort and reduce operational expenses associated with climate control. For homeowners, better insulation can mean fewer drafts, more even temperatures, and lower monthly utility bills.
Raleigh Excel Spray Foam Insulation in Cary has been working with clients to assess insulation needs and provide information about available materials. The company performs site evaluations to identify areas where insulation performance may be lacking and discusses the characteristics of different spray foam types, including open-cell and closed-cell options. This process is designed to help property owners understand the differences between materials and select solutions that align with their building conditions and performance goals.
The introduction of open-cell spray foam reflects broader interest in insulation performance as property owners become more aware of how building materials affect energy use and comfort. Insulation quality is increasingly viewed as a factor in long-term building maintenance, not just an initial construction consideration. Open-cell spray foam addresses this by providing a flexible insulation solution that adapts to the shape of building cavities and maintains its performance over time.
Property owners interested in learning more about open-cell spray foam or scheduling an insulation evaluation can contact Raleigh Excel Spray Foam Insulation directly. The company continues to serve residential and commercial clients throughout Cary and the surrounding communities.

StoryPop UGC Agency has announced an enhanced organizational focus on user-generated content (UGC) as a foundational component of modern digital communication and brand interaction. The update reflects a broader shift occurring across industries, where organizations are reassessing how audience-created material contributes to credibility, engagement patterns, and long-term content sustainability. As digital platforms continue to prioritize authentic interactions and community-driven expressions, StoryPop UGC Agency is restructuring its internal approach to better support teams seeking systematic UGC integration within their communication ecosystems.
The agency notes that its expanded attention to user-generated content follows an in-depth assessment of changing audience behavior and platform trends. Over the past several years, individuals have placed increasing weight on peer-shared experiences, real-world demonstrations, and unscripted content when forming impressions about brands or services. This shift has led organizations to examine how to incorporate audience voices into their messaging in a way that is consistent, ethical, and operationally manageable. StoryPop UGC Agency explains that these insights played a central role in redefining its framework for supporting UGC initiatives.
A significant aspect of the updated focus involves refining how organizations gather, organize, verify, and deploy user-generated content. The agency emphasizes that UGC is no longer treated solely as an optional add-on to digital strategies; instead, it has become part of a broader movement toward community-driven communication systems. StoryPop UGC Agency has therefore strengthened its processes for analyzing audience contributions, reviewing source credibility, and ensuring that content aligns with the organization’s long-term communication structure rather than functioning as isolated posts or short-term trends.
The announcement highlights that the expanded UGC approach places increased attention on content lifecycle management. Many organizations rely on periodic bursts of audience activity but lack structured systems for maintaining engagement or repurposing submitted material. StoryPop UGC Agency states that its updated methodology includes clearer guidelines for reviewing, categorizing, and mapping user-generated content according to relevance, context, and potential long-term application. This allows organizations to build more sustainable content libraries rather than continually restarting from scratch when new campaigns or communication phases begin.
Another area addressed is the growing complexity of platform governance. As social platforms implement evolving rules regarding authenticity, usage rights, and attribution, organizations must navigate these changes while maintaining compliance. StoryPop UGC Agency’s renewed emphasis includes expanded evaluation procedures to ensure that contributed materials meet platform rules and ethical standards. This includes considerations such as proper permissions, respect for audience privacy, and accuracy of shared information. The agency notes that clear processes in these areas help organizations maintain transparency while reducing the operational risks associated with unmanaged UGC.
StoryPop UGC Agency also reports an increase in demand for structured UGC approaches due to shifting audience expectations. Modern audiences often differentiate between content created internally by brands and content originating from everyday users. Audience-created material is perceived as more reflective of actual experiences, leading organizations to explore ways to incorporate such contributions into their communication structures. The agency emphasizes that its expanded approach aims to help teams interpret these behaviors and create environments where user-generated content supports long-term communication goals.
Internal research cited within the announcement indicates that many organizations initially underestimated the volume and complexity of UGC submissions when audience participation increases. Beyond gathering content, teams often encounter challenges such as inconsistent formats, fluctuating quality, and gaps in contextual information. StoryPop UGC Agency’s updated framework includes procedures for classification, contextual tagging, and multi-stage review, enabling organizations to navigate these complexities with greater clarity. The agency states that these processes are essential for maintaining consistency across communication channels and preventing fragmented messaging.
The announcement further outlines the importance of UGC in shaping community perception and trust. As audiences become increasingly selective about the sources of information they engage with, user-generated content plays a growing role in determining how communities form opinions about products, services, and experiences. StoryPop UGC Agency explains that its refined workflow is designed to help organizations understand how various forms of UGC—such as testimonials, visual content, peer discussions, and experiential narratives—contribute to broader digital identity structures.
Another component of the update involves expanded analysis practices aimed at understanding the performance and impact of user-generated content. While UGC is often associated with authenticity-driven engagement, StoryPop UGC Agency notes that data evaluation is still necessary to determine which types of user content contribute meaningfully to communication goals. The agency has implemented clearer evaluation models that consider factors like relevance, clarity, accessibility, and behavioral response patterns. This allows organizations to develop informed, long-term strategies based on observed audience interaction rather than assumptions.
In addition to analysis improvements, the agency’s updated approach includes an increased emphasis on UGC moderation protocols. With user-generated content arriving from a wide variety of sources, moderation plays a central role in ensuring that the material aligns with organizational values and community guidelines. The updated system includes multi-layer review procedures that assess appropriateness, accuracy, and contextual fit. StoryPop UGC Agency explains that these measures help minimize inconsistencies and protect the integrity of digital communication channels.
The announcement also addresses the growing role of UGC in cross-platform communication. As organizations aim to maintain consistent voices across websites, social platforms, newsletters, and interactive environments, the need to harmonize user-generated content across these spaces becomes increasingly important. StoryPop UGC Agency states that its revised approach includes mapping processes that help teams determine where specific pieces of audience-created content fit within a broader communication sequence. This ensures that UGC is not used arbitrarily but instead supports narrative continuity and organizational clarity.
Another theme emphasized in the announcement is the evolution of digital storytelling. StoryPop UGC Agency highlights that user-generated content often introduces diverse perspectives, experiences, and expressions that organizations may not have access to through traditional content creation channels. The updated methodology acknowledges this diversity and incorporates workflows that allow teams to identify unique contributions and integrate them into their communication structures while maintaining consistency. The agency notes that these processes are particularly important for organizations seeking to reflect broader community perspectives.
The update also incorporates considerations related to content storage and long-term accessibility. As user-generated content accumulates, many organizations face challenges in managing archives, retrieving relevant submissions, and maintaining accurate records. StoryPop UGC Agency has strengthened its organizational systems to support more efficient content cataloging and retrieval, reducing the risks of content loss or duplication. This aligns with the agency’s broader emphasis on sustainability within UGC ecosystems.
StoryPop UGC Agency concludes that the renewed focus on user-generated content is intended to support organizations navigating increasingly complex digital landscapes. With audiences playing a more active role in shaping brand narratives and influencing community perceptions, the agency’s updated approach aims to provide clarity, structure, and informed decision-making frameworks. StoryPop UGC Agency states that its work will continue to adapt as platform standards, audience behaviors, and digital communication systems evolve, ensuring that organizations have access to dependable structures for managing UGC in both current and future environments.

The company has distinguished itself through its comprehensive service offerings, which include drain cleaning, backflow prevention, gas piping, leak detection and repair, sump pump installation, sewer line services, tankless water heater installation, water treatment systems, and commercial plumbing solutions. This diverse portfolio has enabled Tennessee Standard Plumbing to serve both residential and commercial clients throughout the Greater Knoxville area.
Since its launch, the company has expanded its presence across Knoxville, Maryville, and Oak Ridge, responding to growing demand for reliable plumbing support in both established and developing communities. Tennessee Standard Plumbing now operates with 50 team members and a growing place in the community, reflecting its evolution from a startup to an established regional service provider.
As part of its operational development, the company has emphasized employee training, structured mentorship, and workplace stability. The business provides health insurance options, retirement planning with employer matching, and opportunities for professional advancement. Additionally, the organization has adopted a no-weekend-work schedule to support work-life balance, aiming to reduce employee turnover and maintain consistent service quality. These internal policies reflect a long-term approach to workforce development, which the company views as essential to maintaining service standards as demand increases.

The company maintains a 5.0 rating based on more than 1,000 Google reviews, demonstrating consistent service excellence across its expanding service territory.
To meet the needs of Tennessee communities, the company continues to expand both its technical capabilities and its service infrastructure. Investments in advanced diagnostic tools, technician certifications, and emerging plumbing technologies have played a role in Tennessee Standard Plumbing’s ability to manage complex situations, such as aging infrastructure, commercial system upgrades, and modern efficiency requirements. The company’s commercial division has grown to support businesses across the region, helping organizations maintain compliance with plumbing and health codes while reducing the likelihood of major operational disruptions.
Community engagement has become an additional focus for the organization.

The channel features more than 120 how-to and informational videos designed to help property owners understand basic plumbing functions, identify early signs of system issues, and determine when professional assistance is appropriate. This initiative reflects the company’s goal of providing clear, accessible information while encouraging responsible household maintenance practices.
The expansion of this educational resource aligns with broader industry efforts to improve public understanding of plumbing systems and reduce avoidable property damage. By offering a comprehensive library of tutorials, Tennessee Standard Plumbing aims to reduce confusion around common household plumbing issues and strengthen communication between technicians and homeowners. The company has stated that this initiative is intended to supplement, not replace, professional work, especially for complex or safety-sensitive repairs.
As Tennessee Standard Plumbing enters its seventh year, the organization reports that it will continue to focus on service reliability, workforce stability, and infrastructure investment. The company anticipates ongoing demand for specialized plumbing services in the Greater Knoxville area, driven by continued residential growth, increased commercial development, and ongoing modernization of aging properties.

Classic Car Deals has released a new editorial guide addressing one of the most frequently asked questions in the collector car community: Is it safe to daily drive a classic car? The article, which uses the Pontiac Firebird as a central case study, explores the practical realities of owning and operating a vintage vehicle on a day-to-day basis. It is now available on the company’s website, offering guidance to enthusiasts and prospective buyers alike.
The newly published article, titled “Pontiac Firebird Collector’s Guide: Is It Safe to Daily Drive a Classic?” covers the engineering, performance, and long-term considerations that come with using a car originally built in the 1960s through the early 2000s as a primary mode of transportation. The piece aims to separate nostalgia from practicality, helping readers understand both the joys and limitations of classic vehicle ownership when applied to modern use.
The Pontiac Firebird, first introduced in 1967, is a model that holds enduring appeal due to its aggressive styling, V8 power options, and connection to American muscle car history. While often stored and preserved for occasional use or car shows, an increasing number of owners are considering classic cars like the Firebird for regular driving duties. The article addresses key factors such as mechanical reliability, braking systems, electrical components, and fuel efficiency—along with safety upgrades that may be necessary for modern traffic conditions.
John Beebe, founder of Classic Car Deals, commented on the purpose behind publishing the article: “We’ve seen more people asking whether it’s realistic to drive a classic car every day. The short answer is that it depends on the vehicle and the owner’s commitment to maintenance and safety upgrades. The Pontiac Firebird is a great example of a car that offers the driving experience people want, but it’s important to go into that decision with the right expectations,” said Beebe.
The editorial also examines how advances in aftermarket parts and restoration techniques have made it more feasible to improve a classic vehicle’s drivability without compromising its vintage identity. From disc brake conversions to modernized suspension kits and digital ignition systems, the article outlines the most common upgrades that can support a more reliable daily driving experience. It also cautions against overlooking the need for regular inspection and preventative care, especially when operating older vehicles in urban or high-speed environments.
This latest guide follows a series of educational articles from Classic Car Deals, aimed at supporting informed decision-making among classic car enthusiasts. The company, known for connecting buyers and sellers of vintage and specialty vehicles, continues to expand its content resources to meet growing demand for not just purchasing information, but long-term ownership guidance. In a digital landscape where more drivers are re-evaluating their relationships with vehicles—seeking mechanical simplicity, emotional connection, and timeless design—questions around usability have become more relevant than ever.
In addition to the Firebird guide, Classic Car Deals hosts a wide inventory of vintage cars through its Cadillac, Michigan location, including muscle cars, restomods, and preserved original examples. The website features full vehicle listings, opportunities to consign classic vehicles, photos, and support services for buyers looking to ship or finance their purchases.
As younger collectors and lifestyle buyers enter the market, the topic of whether a classic car can serve as more than a weekend driver is expected to remain central to the conversation. This article serves as a balanced, research-informed resource for those navigating that decision.

TurnKey Patio has established a dedicated siding division offering installation services across eight distinct material categories. The New Orleans-based contractor now provides brick siding, concrete siding, fiber cement, insulated siding, metal siding, stucco, vinyl siding, and wood siding options to property owners throughout its thirteen-community service territory in Louisiana.
The siding division operates alongside TurnKey Patio’s existing patio, roofing, and window service lines. The company maintains operations from its New Orleans headquarters and serves Baton Rouge, Covington, Gretna, Hammond, Harahan, Kenner, LaPlace, Madisonville, Mandeville, Metairie, River Ridge, Slidell, and St. Rose.
Among the material options, vinyl siding represents a category that TurnKey Patio describes as resistant to rot, mold, and pests. The installation process at TurnKey Patio follows a multi-phase approach beginning with surface preparation, which includes inspection for damage and application of a moisture barrier. The company applies foam insulation during this preparation phase. Installation proceeds with a starter strip along the bottom of the wall, with subsequent panels overlapping and secured using nails or clips. Finishing work includes trim installation around windows, doors, and corners, as well as sealing gaps and seams.
Fiber cement siding constitutes another material category in the TurnKey Patio portfolio. The company notes that fiber cement is made from a blend of cement and cellulose fibers. TurnKey Patio states that this material type is fire-resistant and resistant to pests, rot, and moisture, with a potential lifespan exceeding 50 years with proper maintenance. The installation process includes surface preparation with attention to ventilation, installation of starter strips, precision cutting using specialized tools, and flashing installation around windows, doors, and other openings.
Insulated siding options at TurnKey Patio encompass vinyl, fiber cement, and engineered wood varieties. The insulation core in these products typically consists of expanded polystyrene or polyurethane foam. TurnKey Patio notes that insulated siding products feature interlocking panels and integrated moisture management systems. The company indicates that vinyl insulated siding can last up to 30 years with proper care, while fiber cement insulated options can exceed 50 years. Engineered wood insulated siding offers up to 30 years of service life according to the company.
The remaining siding categories in the TurnKey Patio division include brick siding, concrete siding, metal siding, stucco, and wood siding. Each category addresses different architectural requirements and property specifications across the company’s service area.
TurnKey Patio’s siding installation workflow incorporates assessment of existing exterior conditions, measurement of coverage areas, and consideration of architectural features including window placements and doorways. Surface preparation includes removal of existing siding or debris and inspection for damage prior to new material installation.
The company operates Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM. TurnKey Patio extends its siding services across the same geographic footprint as its patio and roofing operations, covering communities in the greater New Orleans metropolitan area and surrounding regions of southeastern Louisiana.
TurnKey Patio positions the siding division as part of its broader exterior home services portfolio. The company also provides custom patios, gazebos and pavilions, home decks, outdoor kitchens, patio covers, patio paving, pergolas, screen rooms, carports, and awning systems.

Siam Legal International, a General Sales and Services Agent for Thailand Privilege, announces that Thailand Privilege Card Co., Ltd. has approved extensions for two major membership offerings through March 31, 2026. The Bronze Membership Package and the 500,000 THB Next Member Promotion will continue to be available, providing prospective applicants additional time to plan and prepare their long-term residency applications for Thailand.
The Thailand Privilege Visa Bronze Membership Package, recognized as the most accessible entry-level membership tier, has been extended until March 31, 2026, or until further notice. This membership option has attracted considerable interest from retirees, digital professionals, and individuals seeking extended stays in Thailand. The extension responds to continued demand for structured long-term residency solutions in the Kingdom.
The 500,000 THB Next Member Promotion also remains available through the same extended deadline. This promotion applies to additional family members enrolling under Platinum, Diamond, and Reserve memberships, supporting families who wish to include dependents in their long-term residency plans. The promotional rate extension ensures families have adequate time to coordinate their enrollment decisions without disruption.
“The extension of these Thailand Privilege Visa offerings reflects the sustained interest we’re seeing from international clients seeking reliable pathways to long-term residency in Thailand,” said Rex Baay, spokesperson for Siam Legal International. “The Bronze Membership continues to attract strong interest because it provides an affordable entry point into the Thailand Privilege program, while the Next Member Promotion remains particularly important for families planning their relocation together.
