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.

Drought destroyed pachysandra

20 years ago

I've lived at my present location for 36 years and my pachysandra has never succumbed to drought in all those years. I naively thought I could weather this drought (New Jersey)but after looking stressed for a few weeks, it threw in the towel and I have immense areas of brown stuff. Will it ever come back? Are there succulent roots hiding in the tangled mess of brown? Suggestions?
