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.

When to Start a Bog

17 years ago

My Mom wants to start a bog garden because she has an underground spring that keeps that part of the lawn very damp, if not wet. I found info from the local extension on which plants to plant. When should we start this project, and do you have anymore tips?

I will attach pictures of the area, and the list from out extension.

You can see in January the whole lawn is brown, except where the spring is.

This is just standing water.
