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.

best time to landscape

21 years ago

We are planning to landscape our front yard. We had intended on getting the work started in the spring. Now we are wondering if we should wait until fall. Is it best to avoid the summer? I guess the question is when is the best time to landscape? We plan to plant (and transplant) mostly shrubs and trees.
