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.

    Sorry for the delay - the backing stones are actually retaining the soil from a slight hill behind - perennial lavender is planted close by and is just visible - have designed others where the landscapers use larger backing stones that stand on their own - but slopes are made for this application - be sure to account for drainage needs - Bill Healy

    Thank you for the info. Stealing this great idea for our backyard, where our pool used to be and the land slopes on one side. Reclaiming the huge stones we just pulled out of our 1770 barn demo. Wonderful idea.
