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.

Old Timey pruning (and other) advice

17 years ago

I'm looking for advice on pruning, planting, mulching (and removing mulch) and so on that is keyed to what other plants, birds and animals are doing. Advice such as "prune the roses when the forsythia blooms" and so on. Thanks for any and all...
