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.

need groundcover for sunny slope, drought resistant

18 years ago

We are building a new house in Simi Valley, CA. The front yard consists entirely of a slope, about 80' wide, and 12' tall at most. We need to select a drought-resistant ground cover. Can anyone give me some ideas? Of course we hope for beauty and low maintenance, but who doesn't!!
