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.

shade tree

15 years ago

Any ideas for a shade tree for Phoenix which can be canopied into a shade umbrella look and isn't messy? I now have a Tipuana which is extremely tall and I have it canopied but it is extremely messy next to the pool.
