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.

Blue dune (Lyme) grass

18 years ago

I believe that Leymus arenarius, or blue dune grass, might be salt tolerant but cannot find any literature on the subject. We want to use it as a border where it might be splashed with salt water at the top of a wall at an inlet to Long Island Sound. Anyone have experience with this?

Thanks. Arnold
