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.

Five Year Old Mulch - Still Usable?

9 years ago

I have several bags of commercial hardwood mulch sitting on the ground for five years. It has broken down into small particles. Does not smell or have mold. Is it still usable?
