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.

Winter care of garden???????

23 years ago

I need your direction to a source to advise me how to care for a garden where there is a layer of leaves which I will cover with a tarpaulin with the hopes that they will disintegrate during the winter before being roto-tilled into the garden next spring.
