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.

Zone 9b Pool Landscaping HELP.

10 years ago

We are getting ready to put in a new pool cage, but the screen will be going all the way down to the patio. So, I need to add a 1-2 foot bed around the patio so the landscapers don't sever the screen while trimming.

I would LOVE some ideas on flowers, or edibles that I can plant in this area. We live in Zone 9b and do have a sprinkler system, but I am also interested in something that is sturdy, drought tolerant and pretty would be nice.

Suggestions!?!?!
