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.

Digging around a tree

6 years ago

Hello, I have a cherry blossom tree in my garden and I want to build a seating area around it. This would mean digging holes to insert post which would be concreted in, I'm worried about damaging the tree, does anybody know if it will damage the tree? Thank you
