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.

Curb Garden???

12 years ago

Digging a curb garden. I'm nervous coz B4 it looks pretty, it looks like vandalism. Tearing up a patch of sidewalk!
Everyone here does it, tho & it makes my street bee-you-tiful.

I live on Long Island Sound, 50 ft from it, so...SANDY soil.
I am using Miracle Gro soil, pre fertilized.
Should I add more fertilizer/compost?
Putting in Snapdragons for ambition, Zinnias for security.

I want it to look nice for all the neighbors who've made MY walk home so lovely.
