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.

    Hi Jay,

    The native peastone used here was locally sourced from Boston Bark in Waltham. The color is whatever they had on hand at the time--we didn't request a specific color, just determined that this was perfect for the courtyard! Thanks for asking.

    Best,

    Jennifer

    Hi Penelope! It's native peastone from Boston Bark in Waltham.
