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.

Clay and a pond

23 years ago

I have a natural pond on my property, and I would like to plant trees that are fast growers, tall and full, to make the pond more private. I have clay ground, so I need a hardy tree, that likes water but does not need good drainage. I am in Minnesota, as well. Thanks!
