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.

How much sun?!!

20 years ago

Hi,

I'm redoing the front of our house, which is the side of our garage and is North-West facing. In the Summer the sun comes around over the house, and I believe it gets sun after around 2pm (less as we move into fall).

I'd like to put 5 hibiscus in there - 2 Lady Baltimores, 2 Blue Rivers and one other, but am a little worried about the "full sun" label on them.

Any thoughts/experiences?

thanks!

David
