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.

foundation shrub suggestions-face West and HOT!

12 years ago

My house faces West and receives HOT afternoon sun. I'm looking for suggestions for fast growing shrubs that can handle the heat in summer, the snow in winter, deer, and can fill in my foundation!

I'd love to have Hydrangias for the fullness and romantic look, but that's not gonna happen facing west! Any ideas?
Thank you:)
