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.

    Thank you for asking!
    This hedge is named Pittosporum 'Silver Sheen'. It is evergreen and does not flower.

    Silver Sheen's can actually flower. The flower is usually dark red/purple in colour and is bell shaped. I have ten planted along my fence line, nine have no flowers; only one tree flowers.
