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.

The Winter Garden

Winter Garden Blessing

24 years ago

I have taken no pleasure from my garden since Sept. 11. My back porch offers a view of the NY skyline and I watched the smoke for days. Every time I have gone on the porch since then has been a reminder of that terrible day and I have avoided my garden.

Christmas morning I went out to check the temperature and found my climbing Peace Rose with a beautiful flower framing my view of the skyline. Now it's ok to go into my garden again.
