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.

Shade plants for under oaks?

18 years ago

We are looking for fill in the bare spots with groundcover.

Something economical and kinda professional looking would be best since it's for in front of old ap'ts; ea is 150sq ft with a total of around 2000 sq ft.Thinking of putting something nice right up around the oaks and then having a nice drought resistant ground cover everywhere else. Th'x!
