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.

Looking to plant privacy tree's but...

16 years ago

The local ordinace states I am not allowed to place a fence on my property but does this include tree's?

The house is on a busy highway and I would like to block the view and make the backyard safe for kids.
