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.

Backyard Dilemma -advice needed

2 years ago


Hello, I am looking for advice on redesigning our deck and new landscaping for my backyard. We need to replace the deck and are thinking of extending it and either adding another lower deck level across the side of the house or installing a patio. It is hard to see, but on the left side of the photo there is a fence and gate to the driveway. This area is very steep, and we would like to be able to use it to have a container garden on the deck or patio. We also need to replace our windows are open to any ideas of color/style. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
