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.

Backyard Utility Pole- How to Hide in FL

13 years ago
I have a Utility Pole in the corner of my backyard. I'd like to refocus eyes toward the pool. Love Palm Trees but what can I use to hide that stupid pole?

    Vines are NOT allowed on utility poles.

    I found three sites online for you to peruse.

    The idea I like the best is to plant two trees with lacy canopies, with bark in a similar color to the utility pole. The pole with then BLEND in and look like a third tree trunk in a group of trees.
