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.

Lilac - Planting Time

14 years ago

Hi everyone,

I am new here - and hope that you will be kind and patient enough to bear with my very, very basic questions...

Like this one:

Is May 28 still a good time to plant a 6-foot lilac tree in my backyard? I live in Montreal (on the island).

Hope to hear from you soon - as I am planning to buy my lilac tree tomorrow morning!!

Bye for now,

Mauve
