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.

10 years ago
last modified: 10 years ago

Monarchs have eaten every leaf off my 2 bushy plants leaving only stalks. If I cut the stalks to a few inches will the plants get new leaves?
