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.

Lodense Privet as 12-18" high border ?

6 years ago

The courtyard in our new house will have 4 planting beds that we'd originally planned to do boxwood borders. Unfortunately boxwoods are no longer a good option in Minnesota. SO, we're considering Lodense Privet at approx 16" spacing.

Does anyone know if these can be kept to ideally 12" high but at tallest 18"? I think prob 12" wide (slightly sloping sides) either way?

Thanks
