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.

Growth Below Pine Trees

16 years ago

We have a grove of pine trees acting as border trees and privacy between our home and our neighbor. Our neighbor recently cut half of the branches off from the lower 6 feet of some trees and all the branches off other trees. After asking him to stop the devastation, I now am looking to fill the void that remains. New pines would be nice, but the shade and blanket of needles may make new growth difficult. What could I plant to successfully fill the area beneath these pines. The area will have mostly east/west exposure to sunlight below the existing pines, about 6 feet high.
