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.

Suggested balcony plantings

16 years ago

I have a roof top deck that I am constructing a pergola on. I am looking for ideas for container plantings (vines) that will cover the pergola and also some weather resistant small and slow growing evergreens that will offer privacy. Surviving the winters is my main concern. Thanks!
