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.

Privet hedge in shade?

17 years ago

Anyone here have a privet hedge that's in the shade? I ordered lots of plants, but the area that I want to plant them is mostly shade. Just curious if they would do OK or if I have to come up with another plan.
