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.

Strange Lawn Cover

10 years ago
last modified: 10 years ago

I bought a house. An older one.

Although the front and back yards are full and green, it's not all blades of strong grass.

Attached is a pic. What is this stuff???

Good or bad?

How do I get rid of it?
