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.

Himalayan Birch and aphids

10 years ago

I'm planning to plant several large containers with Betula jaquemontii on a 9th floor roof top. But I'm a little concerned about aphids. Is 9th floor high enough to escape them? These will be multi-stemmed trees, thinned to stay pretty "airy".
