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.

Sugar Maple

12 years ago

Some of the bark has been stripped. My DH thinks the squirrels are trying to get to the sap. The strips are sadly at the base of the tree. If this keeps up the tree cannot survive. Any advice or insight?
