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.

Planted too close to house?

19 years ago

I planted a couple purple fountain grass and one maiden grass next to my house -- but I only planted them about one and a half feet from the house. Is this going to be a problem for either the plant or my house? Should I replant them further from the foundation?
