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.

Shrub With Teardrop Leaves & Red Berries?

3 years ago

This ~7' shrub with ~2", light-green, teardrop leaves and ~1/4" red berries was found growing at a wooded homestead site. What is it?

  • 3 years ago

    The serrulate, crenate leaf margins look smooth in photos that aren't crisp. It's Ilex decidua.
