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.

    O, I would say almost certainly down to being newly planted. and needing to adapt I have recently planted a trove of perennials and many of the leaves are an anomalous colour for a few weeks.
