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.

Grass for Shady Acid Areas

18 years ago

Hi there,

I have an area under two medium size pine trees which is partially shady to full shade. It gets sun at the end of the day  after 3pm.

I want to use ornamental grass there together with some existing perennials  which type will be the best choice for it? I live in Massachusetts.

Thank you very much!

Tatyana
