    The end couldn't come soon enough, after doing half, I thought great, making good time. I reckon someone was planting them as I wasn't looking after that.

    they are rubra's, but have lost most of their red colouring over the years, probably from the crap sandy soil they're in

    Funny you should say that. There is a fellow contractor in town who I sometimes assist with hedging, as his trimming skills are..... lets say less developed then mine. If I do a good job he puts a photo of it on his facebook page telling people he did it.

    Have you still been getting good rain up there this year? Anytime I've ever been through there it's always pretty lush and green.

    This year so far has been the driest start to a year since starting out, but Ive mowed through two record floods in that time. we've been kind of lucky this year so far as whenever things are starting to get pretty desperate we get enough rain to green things up a bit then the cycle starts again.

    I don't know how other contractors can survive at the moment who mow only.

    So done a job to do that was a Mortgage Repossession. The yard had not been touched for atleast 12 months maybe more. Finally finished it in 3 days.

    Massive house with massive shed on 3/4 acre. Done what we though was a thorough walk through as the grass and under growth was really bad.

    Started the job using my 4st TradeTool Brushcutter with Tri-blade and my trusty Greenfield 11hp rideon.

    Funny thing was the usual guy that the company would get to do there cleanups has a rover 48" rideon had he turned the job down as he thought his mower wouldn't be able to do the job. My good old 32yo Greenfield done me proud. it pushed through and cleaned the job up nice.

    I am one of the rare breeds that like this type of work, as it is purely labour. No driving around all day, just in one spot till its done. And I like seeing the finished product.

    All these pics are before I went around with the blower, It looks better since lol.

    I will probably be maintaining the property until it goes up for auction in possibly a few months.
