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.

Too late to prune lilacs?

last year

IDK what kind they are, prev. home owner planted them and they’re about 50 y.o.

Some are white, some light purple and some dk purple. They’re tree-like, not shrub-like, if that helps.
