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.

Paper Mulch Question

18 years ago

I've killed my lawn, core aerated and will be slit seeding next week. I wasn't planning on using mulch or straw, but I did see a paper mulch Encap ($35 for 2500 sq. feet).

I have a watering system. But is the mulch useful and worth the extra money??
