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.

    Tagetes lemonii or Mexican Marigold is a fairly versatile flowering shrub and grows well in full sun to part shade. It is a low water use plant but can take regular water. Be aware that the leaves are very aromatic and some people love the smell while others not so much.
