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.

Love this design

10 months ago
Might you tell me what you used to hold back the stones between the PIP slabs. It appears to be two pieces of metal but I'm curious what type and how they are secured.

Thank you

    Thanks for your compliment. The installers cut pieces of black steel edging and I believe behind them they imbedded wood and attached the steel pieces to anchor in place. Covered with the pebbles.

    Excellent. Your design is very creative and a pleasure on the eyes. Thank you kindly for your speedy and detailed reply.
