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.

Artificial Mulch

19 years ago

Has anyone used the recycled plastic tree rings? We bought some at Lowe's and put them around a couple of newly planted trees.( Monterrey Oaks). They look good but now I'm having second thoughts. We have a lot of money invested in the 2 trees and I want them to stay healthy and thrive. Any thoughts on these?

Thanks.
