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.

Can you recommend a good windbreak species?

12 years ago

It should be hardy to zone 2 (central SK) and very fast-growing. No irrigation will be provided (except at planting time). It will be used for blocking north and west winds.
