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.

What type of tree is this in my backyard.

11 years ago
Watching things grow in my backyard before we chop things down. These started blooming like 3 weeks ago. What kind of tree is this?

    Please do not "spray" these shrubs. You are harming birds, bees, butterflies & all kinds of other beneficial insects. The insecticide is far more harmful than whatever "pest" you are trying to eradicate. If you have a plant that regularly becomes infested, it's a sign the plant does not belong in whatever place--or possibly region--it is planted in. Even so-called organic insecticidal soaps kill honey bees & butterflies. There is no such thing as a "safe" garden chemical.
