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.

pruning 5 yr old live oak

11 years ago

I don't think it's ever been pruned but I don't know where to begin. I can't reach the top area- just lower 2/3. Maybe it doesn't need pruning but I think it would look better if it were.
