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.

Plant vs Planter...Size Matters

2 years ago





I purchased two 36" tall black tapered planters that are 18" wide across the top for the front of our home. I also purchased two faux topiaries which are 20" wide, thinking they would be large enough. Now that the plant is placed in the planter I think it's too small. I've looked for larger/wider alternatives but they are far and few between and also well over $150 each. I would appreciate any input you may have on sizing or other options for the planters. Thank you!
