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.

Mine are: Catalpa Trees, Paulownia Trees, some vegetables like squash, greens, beans on trellises, Honey Locust trees (sort of palm like), Ornamental grasses, grape vines heavily fertilized for large leaves, (not concerned about grape production)well, I have more but I'll stop here and let someone else start adding their favs. ;-)
