Jhoyner and his work mate were absolutely fantastic. They did the job exactly as needed in a super speedy manner (it was amazing to me how fast they could do it) and tidied up all whilst smiling and being great to have around. I'm so glad they could do the job for us. Thank you!

Move very heavy rocks

$120

North Rocks NSW 2151, Australia

11th Sep 2026

Need someone (or 2 people) who is very, very strong to move some very heavy rocks. See photos: 1. Move rocks down some steps 2. Move rocks out of empty pond 1: I need someone to move most of these rocks shown in the photos (In the first photo : We can leave a couple there there -just one level of rocks, maybe 2 high as long as it looks neat). The white string shows the boundary between my property and the neighbours I need the rocks moved to the area past the bottom of stairs- see next photo. I was standing in roughly the same spot on the steps when I took both Photos 1snd 2- one looking up at the rocks and one looking down the stairs to show where the rocks need to be moved to. I haven’t measured the stairs but it is about 25-30metres or so to the end From where the rocks are. 2.: I have more rocks that need to be moved from an empty pond (see final photos), which is just behind the area in the first photo- but most of these just need to be moved to an area next to the pond (see final photos of empty pond)- although the extra large rocks (about 4) will need to be moved down the steps too. Maybe you would need a large strong wheelbarrow, or use some techniques to move them as they are very heavy- I included photos of a tape measure so you can see the rough size of some of them.
