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.

Mulch, grass, paths?

12 years ago

Need ideas for the bare area, which measures 26 feet long from edge of pond to back of shed x 18 deep from front of garden to start of berm. Considering putting down only mulch and putting in stone/gravel paths or reseeding with grass and using paths. In either case, having trouble envisioning how to place path/paths.

Yardvaark - I posted pictures a couple of months ago, when old bed/arbor was still in place.
