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.

Landscape ideas

10 years ago

Put my patio in last fall and am trying to come up with plant and tree ideas. I'm terrible at this. So if anyone could help out with ideas ty in advance!! I'm in northern ca. Gonna do sod in the middle but would like to create some shade and cover around esp in the back. The edges around the fence are about 2-3ish feet wide. I was thinking bark or some kind of rock in the edges.
