All-In-One Platform for Construction and Design
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.

2. Try troughs. If building a raised bed (or hiring someone to help) seems like a larger job than you’d like to commit to this summer, invest in a few galvanized troughs for a prefab equivalent. Traditionally used as livestock water troughs, galvanized tubs can be purchased from feed stores and, once drilled with drainage holes, make great raised beds for small lots. Place them in a spot that receives full sun, and you’ll be able to grow an entire small-scale kitchen garden of tomatoes, cucumbers, squashes, eggplants, peppers, strawberries and herbs.
