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.

    Horsetails can grow in low light. I think they will freeze in cold climates, but may come back. They can be very invasive.

    I have horsetail in along a wall on my patio. I neglect them, and they keep growing! They r invasive!!! They r bordered by a 12' concrete slab. If don't want them growing in ur grass,ect. I would suggest some type of barrier.
