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.

      High pressure drip emitters with timer????

      The blocks have a steel plate at the bottom. A small hole for drainage as well.

      In regards to the question on roots, the Ficus Pumila vines at the top have a drip irrigation system connected to a timer. The individual blocks are watered manually.

      I would think plants would dry out pretty quickly - especially in concrete which probably holds the heat. Wouldn't want to be constantly watering those babies.

      This has not been a problem and all 107 succulents are doing great. Here is an updated picture.

      Succulents - didn't realize. Not so much of a problem.
