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.

    They are not pines either :-) They look to be either Leyland cypress or a thuja, neither of which is very well suited to the heat and dryness of southern California. The heavy browning is known as flagging and is a response to drought stress.
