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.

Design Dilemma
jan_gauthier

Landscaping difficulty

11 years ago
We have in floor heat so the perimeter of our home has sheet insulation underground about 18 inches out to about 4 feet. Can't get grass to grow in some of these areas. We'd like to plant some border perennials. Any ideas?
