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.

23 years ago

I have a red Cape Cod home with a nice pvc fence and arbor across the front. My question is ...should I use red , black or brown mulch in the beds. I have a few roses ,grasses, and assorted plants up the driveway and want to mulch there also.any suggestions?
