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.

Wet Soil loving Bush/Plant

20 years ago

Hi, I hoping someone could recomend a bush/tree/plant that survives in very wet soil. I have a area of my back yard that is always very wet due to an under ground spring. But I want to plant a row of trees/hedges/bushes back there instead of putting up a privacy fence. Any recommendations a deeply appreciated.

Thanks

Adalina
