My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Storm drain in backyard

12 years ago
Does anybody here have any experience in helping water get into the storm drain but keeping pets and kids away? . I think this was a poor design on part of the property developers. But unfortunately it stays. So what can I do to hide it but still have water able to drain into it?
