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.

USDA 4B screening, fast growing tree?

14 years ago

My sister needs something to grow fast and screen her neighbor's lights and noise. She lives on Indian Lake, NY. She had her heart set on Thuja, but it is for zone 5 and higher. Has anyone had success with it in that hardiness zone? And what else would you suggest?

Thanks, Ginny
