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.

Weed, ground cover?

In central Ohio. In a flower bed with Hostas, Hydrangea, and a possible Peony bush. Thanks!

    Looks like burdock root. You have to dig down to get the whole root out.
