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.

landscape design

5 years ago

hi! we just moved in & cleaned up this space. any suggestions on what to fill it in with? would love a flowering tree or bush & some sort of interesting piece like rock, bird bath,
or statue. i need something that is root friendly, low maintenance, & part sun.

    The mushroom shrubs are dating your landscaping job and aren't enhancing the home. If you can transplant them to the far side of the driveway from the house, they might be keepers.
