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.

Are these evergreens, do they grow in South Carolina, is there a lot of weeds, is it low maintained and what is the name of these schrubs?

    Yes, this is boxwood lining the walk. It is very abundant in South Carolina gardens. It requires 1 trim a year acoss the top and down the sides to keep it low. Weeds are prevented with a layer of mulch and application of pre-emergent in the spring. Happy Gardening.

    Are they dwarf English boxwoods?

    It is a hybrid boxwood, Buxus 'Glencoe' (Boxwood Chicagoland Green) developed by the Chicago Botanical Garden, Hardiness Zone 4-8, similar to Boxwood 'Green Velvet'. I like it sheared into a low hedge (12") bordering hardscape. This photo is one year from installation, so you can still make out the individual shrubs.
