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.

New house! Help with curb appeal & landscape

11 years ago
Bought my first home & looking at ways to spruce up the landscape & curb appeal. Right now the landscape seems uninspiring & want to do something to provide more excitement.

What would you do? Any ideas are welcomed! Thanks in advanced!

    Your home is hiding behind all the clumps of hedge. First job I'd tackle would be to remove them and see what the house looks like. This fall you can install a bulb bed and finish it out next spring. Ornamental grasses in the bed at street side would be pretty.
