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.

What are the green plants and type of large stone pebbles used?

13 years ago
I am looking to replace regular mulch with stones to create a more contemporary look and not have to remulch frequently. I imagine leveling the ground (dirt), laying landscaping fabric and placing the stones on top would suffice, yes? Just one layer since the stones are large?

    The stones look sorta like large mexican beach pebbles and then for the plant.....possibly english laurel? Just throwing out some guesses.

    Good guess. The stone is Black flat mexican rock, and the plant is Pittosporum.

    Yes that would work, since the stones are larger, 3 to 5in in diameter.
