  • Ensure you have a COVID-19 specific risk mitigation plan
  • Re-induct all workers to include COVID-19
  • Conduct a toolbox meeting (over video) to update everyone on your plan

Hamish and his team did an amazing job of transforming our front section from an unfenced sloping site to something truly usable . "the comments from all that walk by are a testament to how much of a difference it has made. Hamish was wonderful to work with and gave us advice along the way - showing his knowledge of all things landscaping and horticulture! We would not hesitate in recommending him to others. Thanks Simon and Jen

"Hamish arrived to quote when he said he would, provided a very competitive price and did the work ahead of time. There was an unscheduled increase in price for remedial work but again, it was a very reasonable price. Communication was consistently ahead of the game - no chasing required. Clean up was good".  Adrian.

Reply: “Thanks Adrian, We did start with a very damaged area now clean and tidy and easy to maintain."
