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.

Should I keep these boxwoods?

3 years ago

I’m planning a small garden area and was in need of 9 big boxwoods, I had decided to go w Green Mountains learning that they were a good variety. I wanted really mature specimens so I went w the biggest ones Home Depot had. Well when I got home I realized out of my 9 I accidentally had bought 5 English Boxwoods. So I’m keeping the Green Mountains and was planning on returning the English ones but I wonder if maybe I should just keep them (they are so so heavy I honestly don’t want to return them) I’m zone 6 a and this garden site is full sun w wind exposure. So I guess my question is, is Green Mountain indeed superior? Any experience?
