    Default renovation

    this is renovation of a landscaping job I did about 10 years ago. Pulled out a vitex hedge that was almost dead and re-planted IMG039.jpgIMG040.jpg004.jpg002.jpg

    Nice one Redeye. Looks like a big job. How long did it take you? Bet the customer was stoked with the end result.

    there was probably a full days work all up Jo, the old hedge was pulled out with the ute which saved hours of work, one green load to the tip & 2 ute loads of eucy mulch. There are 40 westringea "Morning Light" plants which dont really show up in the photos as they were only tube stock

    Nice work.

    That's some heavy looking soil for being so close to the coast. Is it sandier than it looks in the pics? Looks like quite heavy black soil.

    Nice work Red
    My ute is also my favorite stubborn plant remover.

    Looks better already. A bit tired and dated before. And you should have plenty of repeat work blowing off the path. Mwah hahaha hahaha (evil laugh).
