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.

    Todd, The stone is called DC Ranch Cobble and is widely available in the Phoenix area. Most comes form the McDowell Mountain Range. This was thin cut natural stone over 8" CMU and has a grouting with decomposed granite. I hope this helps you.
