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.

Fast growing Shade tree for SFLA

16 years ago

Hello all... I am looking to plant in the new year two fast growing shade trees. I am not sure if this is the right forum, so if it is not lmk which is so I can repost. So I am looking at replaced two dead oak trees on my easement and would like something else besides oak. If anyone can give me some recommendations for South Florida for fast growing shade trees I would appreciate it. Thanks

Hector
