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.

Back yard

12 years ago
We will have about 10 feet from back porch to privacy fence . Need something to really highlight it. About 40 feet long. Have two large side yards with aluminum/rod iron fencing. House is a cape cod. Can't take photos right know because I have renters in there. Be taking it back in March and totally redoing inside and out. Will need lots of help. Don't want grass in such a small area around back. Found one photo that had benches built against fencing with pavers on ground. What do you think. Maybe a deck to wrap around toward one side or the other. Just thinking
