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.

    @Cat Rowe, we used 1/8" thick steel edging. It typically comes in lengths of 10' and is 6" deep. It is important to install the steel edging properly so that it doesn't move over time. We find that setting the steel edging in concrete yields the best results.
