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.

Just Starting

18 years ago

Hello all.

I am just starting to plan out my Japanese Garden. I've been quietly reading posts here and have a very tall stack of books (some mentioned here). I'm doing my homework and am glad to know where to go to hang out and compare notes.

I've posted some photos of the area where I'm planning the garden. You'll see that I have many challenges ahead.

I would love your comments or suggestions, should you care to give them.

Here is a link that might be useful: Future Garden Pics
