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.

Tropical poolside island ideas??

20 years ago

Hi,

I'm fairly new to gardening and have been really struggling with ideas for our poolside island area. I'd like plant/flowers to match the existing tropical theme of our backyard. I'm looking for plants/flowers that might fit the following:

Various shades of green or green/blue(grasses/groundcover)

Bright,tropical flowering plants (hot pink, purple, orange)

Low in height.

Thanks!

Jesse

p.s. I don't know how to post photos on forum but can email pictures of island, if requested.
