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.

Tilling Question

8 years ago

A couple days ago I started to till an area in the yard to started planting roses. It is clay soil but once I broke it up I was surprised at how soft it actually was. So I only tilled/mixed the area and got rid of the crab grass. Should I get rid of a foot of the soil and then add composted manure? Get rid of 6 inches of soil and add manure? Or just add the manure without taking any soil out?
