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.

Choosing correct size tree/shrub to container?

9 years ago

Can anyone give me a reference on how to select the appropriate tree or shrub given a certain sized container? The goal would be to keep it happy for a long time as a privacy screen, not to "repot". Thanks for any tips!
