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.

Trailing or spreading ground cover type for Calif. low desert

13 years ago

I am converting a concrete in ground spa into a pond. I would like to get some bog plants that can spread out to cover the concrete surrounding area to give it a more natural look.

I am in So Cal low desert, near Palm Springs. Any suggestions?

Thanks
