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.

Author request

20 years ago

I am currently writing a romance novel set on an estate in Long Island (East Hampton). I live in London and know absolutely nothing about plants, flowers, etc. If anyone could give me an idea of what sort of plants, trees, flowers etc might be found on such an estate (next to the beach) during the summer months I would be hugely grateful.

Cheers.
