Help
We are planting a good proportion of our property in native trees. This is a multi year project and we would like some help with planting and maintaining young trees until they get to a size where they can look after themselves.
There will always also be other odd jobs and maintenance around the place from time to time.
I'm also always keen to work with the skills or interests of individuals where practical.

They were great company and easy to have around the house.
They are both willing and able workers, able to use their initiative and happy to do whatever tasks need doing.
I would highly recommend these guys to anyone needing some help around their property.
