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.

Grass rolled out brown?

5 years ago

What is the grass sod I see being rolled out by contractors in the swales of new construction in the Acreage (West Palm Beach)? I've also seen this practice along highway medians. It appears to be dormant or dead (completely brown) when first rolled out, then rebounds after some rain.
