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.

pool privacy, shady, lite root system

11 years ago

Hello,I live in Tampa where I'm looking for shrubs, grass, or tropical trees that will grow in shade. Would love dense foliage up to five feet for privacy. Has to have lite roots due to sprinkler system a foot away. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Thanks Deborah
