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.

    They are european hornbeam, variety is Frans Fontaine and they are deciduous. The parterre garden in front has a boxwood hedge of dwarf boxwood.

    How far apart did you initially space the frans Fontaines? I have 15 gallon transplants I want to space 3-4 feet apart

    It was in 1992, but I think it was about 30”. Spacing is not that important, closer means sooner privacy in a hedge.
