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.

Soil for Sedum

12 years ago

I am replacing 700 sq ft of lawn with Sedum Confusum. The gardener is going to remove about 3 inches of dirt and lawn. What sort of soil should I have put down? The area is too large to get bags of potting soil plus it will be very expensive.
Pumice/Coir/sand??
