Who doesn't love a good before and after!?!?!?
A re-format of the laundry area to make an unusable area fit for an afternoon shandy on sunset. Also bringing the inside/outside together, making the whole area look bigger as well!

Amazing what some fresh mulch will do to the visual appeal of your garden. Not to mention it suppresses w**ds, keeps the soil moist and helps retain and create nutrients.
Why not reach out and see what we can create for your garden.

Crisp lines.

Has all this rain got you feeling down......?
You can at least brighten up your surrounds with a nice freshly pressure washed path, driveway, or patio.
I know a thing or two about washing hard surfaces! 😂
Reach out if you'd like to know more!

A lush healthy lawn, ready to go into the winter months.
Consistent mowing, fertilising, and w**d control as required ensures this property is in tip top condition all year round.

Refreshed tired shutter surrounds for a client, adding Colorbond flashing for extra protection against driving rain.

Happy first day of spring everyone! With father's day just around the corner, I felt this was very appropriate.......
You're welcome.

Just killing two birds with one stone here.....
Old gate removed as it broke in the high winds, and no longer latched to the side fence.
Replaced with a wider gate to fit a ride-on mower out the back for the massive lawn!

Love digging up other people's work for no reason.....NOT.
Electrical buried in the ground
Not deep enough
No warning tape
Antenna cable just in the ground
And no protection of the conduit coming up the wall

All ready for the electrician to come do their thing!

One of my nicer lawns getting a pre-summer renovation. Sir Walter getting a scalp, fertilise, and top dress. It was much needed after the rubbish soaking we received last summer.

While I was gardening today, I spotted a snake, it was 3.14m long!
I'm sure it was a πthon....

Tucked away in this awesome spot, the best way I can describe as being in Ellen St Wollongong, near Auburn St.

Got the pleasure of helping with a unit remodel. The brief was Hamptons Lux.
Here are some progress pics, just waiting for the painter to come and make it look spectacular.

Wishing all my wonderful customers an awesome festive season, full of love and joy with family and friends.
What a year! I am truly blessed to have such great people in my life on a professional level, and wish to thank you all for the support you've shown me this year.
Here's to more greatness next year, where we can stick it to the Rona and come out the other side stronger than before.

When your topiary and hedging game is strong!!!

Thought I'd treat you all to some for the weekend. Namely an awesome job performed by my trusty Cub Cadet Australia RZT-L ride on mower with me at the helm.
Fitted with mulching blades, and run over twice, you would never know the clippings haven't been picked up.

Been a while since I've had to do some hedge tidy-ups. So here it is!!

Trump isn't the only one who knows how to keep the neighbours out! Check out this lapped beauty erected for a couple of really nice neighbours actually.
Thanks also to Perry's Timber & Fencing for the supplies. Good quality product that was easy to work with.

End of lease mow that HAD to happen in the rain.....
Keys were being handed back that day, pouring rain all night and in the morning, but the rain stopped just in time for when I was mowing.

I love coming back to this lawn! What a cracker spot to enjoy an early morning mow.......

I had the pleasure of mowing this beautiful lawn the other week. How's the backdrop too!
A beautiful productive .
It was also the first time I gave the lawnmower a go.
Was sceptical at first with the battery power, but this weapon of a mower has blown my mind. I'm seriously considering now reducing my carbon footprint further and changing out all my petrol gear.

If you don't get excited over lawn lines......what the hell is wrong with ya!!!!

When you need coffee, but you need to keep working.....

Who We Are

Firstly, thanks for clicking and taking the time to look.

Who during a pandemic decides to quit their secure corporate job which allowed them to work flexibly from home........ oh, me! 😯😯

I reached that time in my life, where the corporate hustle and bustle just wasn’t cutting it anymore. Competing demands, ridiculous timelines, stresses that were not sustainable.

So here I am! Growing up, my father taught me a lot in his field of building and carpentry, and I absorbed it like a sponge! I have been renovating my own home on and off for many years, and in my spare time (of which there is very little at the moment) I like to tinker on all things wood, metal, mechanical.
