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.

Planting around patio

12 years ago

We have recently bought a townhouse in Wailea Maui and I would like to improve the platings around the patio. I am from Canada so I am somewhat perplexed. We will be away a lot but we do have sprinklers. It is shade in the am and sun in the pm. I would really like a striking foliage design - not too high - any suggestions for plant material?
