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.

Shade to sun

14 years ago

I have a 6 ft tall wood fence on the south side of my property. I would like to screen the neighbors deck which is elevated. Any suggestions for a tree or shrub that would grow OK to 6ft in shade and then tolerate the sun as it gets taller?
