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.

Re: Need suggestions

17 years ago

We just purchased a home (we are now in Z6) and water stands in part of the backyard from about mid Oct until late spring. and during the early summer if it rains hard enough. I have planted two willow trees, and a few other moist loving plants but during the later summer it gets VERY dry back there and I have to water, (city ! $$) Does anyone have some suggestions as to what to plant that can take a couple of months of drying out?
