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.

Palms in Zone 8a

19 years ago

We have a nursery working on a landscaping plan for us and I have asked him to work it with a tropical look and palms. We are in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area and I am hesitant now that I do not want palms that look brown. Anyone have good experience in this zone with palms or can you suggest some plants/trees/shrubs that do well in zone 8a that give a tropical feel for pools and have pictures?
