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.

Crape myrtle companion plants?

8 years ago
Can you share what you planted around the crape myrtles and possibly the width of the planting bed in the particularly elegant strip to the left of the driveway? Thanks!

    CB Retiree, thank you for your question and kind words! The crape myrtles are multi-stem 'Natchez' cultivar. They were under-planted with Endless Summer Hydrangeas, as well as lamb's ear. The approximate width of the bed is 6'.
