good folk, as promised, the photos in this post are the finished, or at least really close.
BAKERY DIG, Lawson.
Day 1 was April 21 2024, all dug by hand, 120 year old, big and cumbersome sandstone blocks, lots and lots of pebbles, all washed on a makeshift sluice, all feature items were sourced from site, reused and repurposed. Honestly a joy of a job. I got to work with 2 of my boys during the project, lucky Weedy Bloke indeed.

hello and sorry! I keep neglecting to let you know that I am actually still here, doing the thing that makes me happy and occaisionally working with #3 and #4. It is just that i find the whole social media, shining the spotlight on myself and my projects so droll and fraught with anxiety that it is just easier to NOT.
This little job has been holding my attention for some time. I have been here since the beginning, uncovering the sandstone footings, excavating the area by hand, laying Ag-Pipes, Digging trenches, uncovering and rebuilding paths, washing stones.
It has been a joy. here are some teaser photos, project timeline is getting close to the end and when complete i promise to post some appropriate pics.
HAVE THE BEST DAY EVER!!

I am putting #3 on for a larger role within the biz. we will be looking for larger jobs, a few more permanent situations, a couple of extra lawns and 1 or 2 more garden make overs to fill the extra needs.
Hit us up through the messages as we are happy to come and have a look at what you are looking for and how we can possibly help you out.

as the year that was draws to an end and i look forward to doing a few jobs in my own garden, there has been a project that has been on the go for a considerable time, with no time constraints from the owner, a clear and passionate eye to detail and the overall project from the project leader Sue Barry, i have had a great time working on the major transformation of a glorious garden in the upper mountains. i got to work with #3 son and watch his growth in a work environment, i got to work with amazing trades and remarkable suppliers.
while there are a couple of days booked in to finish the rear garden and pebbles for the paths, the project is close.
Here are a couple of pics of my day chiseling out the tongue on the drive to provide a better finish and a couple of sneaky snaps of some finishes.
best wishes to ya, have a rad Festivus!!
