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.

What do you use to cut the stalks?

15 years ago

I live in a zone where it's pull 'em or they die. I'm not sure of the name of the variety of the cannas in my garden, but yipes the stalks are beefy! I used a good quality hand pruner and some of the stalks required 3-4 cuts.
