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.

growing under my oak tree

18 years ago

I'm expanding a garden to bypass directly under a huge and tall oak tree. I'm wondering if I can grow shrubs under it. I was planning to plant a hydrangea (prob. Annabelle) and a few junipers. Will they grow? or do I have to stick to Rhodos, azaleas etc.? It does receive about 6 hours of sun right now.

Thanks
