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.

Help!!! I'm a beginner and I need some expertise...

18 years ago

Hi Everyone...I need help! I love looking at plants, but I have never actually planted or grown anything but bamboo - my dog could grow a bamboo plant. My boyfriend and I just finished resurfacing our pool deck and we left some areas so that I could possibly put some nice plants/flowers. The sun hits these areas all day, so one's that can endure heat and will bloom all year, or that I don't have to replant...
