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.

    The white plant looks to me like Gaura Whirling Butterflies. If you took this photo to a good nursery they could possibly help ID the evergreens. Pretty!

    Hi Lynn,


    Thank you for your inquiry! Thank you for the kind words also. The evergreens in the front are Westringia 'Grey Box' and the white flowering plant is Gaura 'Whirling Butterflies' - Sandybean is correct!
