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.

Suggestions for full sun groundcover

4 years ago

I want to plant a fast-growing groundcover on an 8x8 area in full sun and clay type soil. Flowering is a plus. Must withstand hot, dry conditions. I'm in 5b. Thanks in advance!
