“We clean up, re-create and maintain gardens for are clients. Both residential and commercial.”

There is no “one size fits all”. We get to know our clients (and their pets, as they are often gone when their owners are out). We are a one stop shop, doing the work ourselves and also hiring a myriad of carefully chosen trades people to achieve the best possible result…. Long term.

None to date. We’ve never applied.

I couldn’t find a job once my children stated school so I made a job.

Financial constraints, in reliable staff, managing quoting, doing the work and also managing the admin all myself, until I was in a position to hire help.

Pushing through stressful times and physical exhaustion to keep going. Down right stubbornness is the real support factor… and not giving up! Even when encouraged to do so.

We now have an amazing management team including, 4 admin staff and 12 gardeners and 2 hard scaling builders. 7 vehicles, 2 trailers and 2 premises to service our 300+ clients around Auckland.

My team. They are passionate about their work. I really appreciate and value them all.

Arborists, hedge trainers, pavers, mowing contractors.

Ups killing … gardening qualifications, chainsaw course, first aid course.

Giving my staff an income and career they are all proud of. Making our clients happy.

Crime stoppers.

We are proud of and push our public image. We are constantly working on staff and client safety and clear communication. I have formed a collective of other gardening businesses around Auckland that we refer work too when we can’t do it ourselves.
