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.

    Depending on where you live, Basalite distributes similar block. It's called "screening block" and comes in a cloverleaf or constellation pattern: http://www.basalite.com/products/landscaping-garden-products/garden-line/screening-block

      It's original to the house which was built in 1959. We have no idea where it came from and doubt that the company would still be in business.
