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.

Good potted tree for patio?

12 years ago

I have a porch in downtown Seattle, Wa that I'm looking to decorate with an all-season tree. Does anyone have suggestions on a type of tree?

Ideally it'll flower or change color - but mostly I want it be able to keep it outdoors all-year round. The porch receives direct sun for 3-8 hour a day depending on the season.

Thank you.
