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.

Recommendation on an Ornamental Grass

16 years ago

Hi everyone. I would like your advice about a choice of ornamental grass for my front yard.

Conditions:

Full sun, 2-3 feet wide spread, low water (I can water it if it needs it though), serving as a backdrop to whipcords, front yard specimen in a corner, non-invasive, fairly easy to care for once established
