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.

Agave in the metal planters

9 years ago
I love this look. What type of agave are these and how do you avoid filling the entire planter with dirt? I filled mine up with bags of packing peanuts as I couldn't figure out an easier solution. Thank you.

    These are Agave 'Blue Glow'. Occasionally we insert styrofoam cubes (from packaging) in the bottom of large containers.

    These planters were designed custom, so we specified for a shelf to be installed about 1/3 of the way down from the top. Otherwise, you could use blocks of styrofoam, lava rock or pumice.
