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.

Which tree?

11 years ago
last modified: 11 years ago

Hi,

We finally got,around to removing a half dead peach tree and I have a 20 ft space I would like to fill. Blasting sun on this spot all day. Lots of deer and some dying pine trees in the woods next too my lot.

Yard was a former gravel yard so after about 3 inches of topsoil you hit sand and stones.

I am putting in a 5ft Norway spruce and would like a prettier tree next to it or in front.

I was thinking Englemanni Bushs lace, Blue Magoo, Weeping Silver Fir or Omerika. Although the nursery Omerika's looks quite scraggly.
