Garden tidy up to prepare property for sale

Gardening Johnsonville, Wellington

Great experience from start to finish. They understood exactly what we needed and went over and above to do a good job. Really friendly, easy to deal with and Laura's suggestions for adding a small flower bed finished off the job perfectly. We will use again for further tidy ups.

Bush track improvement and tree pruning

Gardening Lower Hutt, Hutt Valley

4.0

I had a lengthy phone conversation to describe the job. As a result I was told that the tradie would not do the job by hand, so as his digger could not be used, due to concrete paths and steps, the connection was dropped.
