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.

helicopter seeds

13 years ago

Hi, We moved into a new house last fall and knew there was a very large tree overhanging our driveway, part of our roof, and our front shrubs. It's the neighbor's tree and 80% of the tree overhangs our property. It is currently in the process of dropping MILLIONS of those helicopter seeds. We have been sweeping, sweeping, sweeping for days. Does anyone know if you can blow them out of the mulch beds with a leaf-blower? I'll go out and get one if it might work. Our mulch looks awful with all those seeds all over it. Thanks.
