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.

ajuga

20 years ago

I have a 'Toba' Hawthorn that i would like to underplant with groundcover. The tree is in full sun so I'm not to sure ajuga would be a good choice. Also I need something that will not be to aggressive and take over. I have heavy clay soil that we are amending with compost constantly. Any advice? Thanks, Marg
