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.

What a difference they make!

4 years ago
last modified: 4 years ago

2 years ago I planted these hostas to try and mimic the other end of this sloped bed (that runs the length of my driveway).

Boy did it brighten it up! Now i want to add more : ) Any suggestions? This is a dry bed no thanks to a thirsty maple nearby, also western bed with dappled shade.

    What an inspiration! Looks like you have the hosta bug. There are thousands of varieties, in varigation, and size. Welcome to the wonderful world of Hostas. They do look magnificient! You can always take a straight shovel and cut off a piece of those and plant them to make more.

    Look for some with wihite centers, or wavy edges if you want more fun. Check your local nursery.
