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.

Ground Cover

groundcover or pebbles?

9 years ago

I have a path with stepping stones and don't know what to put in between the steps or along the sides. While pebbles would be easy, I wonder if it would look nicer with some type of ground cover. This area gets a little morning sun but is mostly shady. Any suggestions?

Thanks.

    Pebbles/rocks will always be moving. Not my choice.
