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.

Summer project

13 years ago

Here's what I've been working on this summer. The old owner had concrete retaining wall bricks that were all disheveled. The soil was eroding down toward the lower patio area. Really a mess.

This now has three levels. The lowest level holds the AC unit. I have yet to put in new river jack stone around the AC.

In the middle tier, for now at least, I've sunk some of my smaller newly-rooted cuttings (in pots). Included in this photo are Penang Peach, Waimea, Royal Hawaiian, Orange Rainbow seedling, Manoa Beauty seedling, Pink Pansy.
