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.

battle of the ground covers

21 years ago

I've got a moist, part-shade bed with ajuga 'bronze beauty,' creeping phlox, and some forget-me-nots all interplanted (along with some columbines and hellebores). Any bets as to which one will win? Also, do I need to be concerned about the welfare of some mature hostas I've got growing in the same bed?
