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.

Hot sun on a rocky slope

20 years ago

I need suggestions for annuals to plant on a rocky slope facing west. The plants will get burning sun all afternoon. The area is between the sidewalk and the street, under a large Maple tree. The tree provides shade in the morning but not in the afternoon. I would prefer plants that have a trailing habit.
