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.

driveway trees

15 years ago

At the end of my driveway there is a landscaped(large rocks set in concrete) semi-circle approx. 2 feet by 3 feet. And I would like to plant a fast growing tree in it. What kind of flower tree would grow fast yet not interfer with the concrete driveway. Yet also would provide good shade in the summer time. Thanks, James
