I have three large planter boxes (1000 x 420 x H450) on an apartment balcony that need filling with soil and plants. Looking for someone who can source the products and deliver to my home (one flight of stairs). Also looking for someone who knows about plants as the area does not get direct sunlight.

Looking for one or two people to help move soil from a pile into large planter boxes using a wheelbarrow. It’s straightforward garden work — just moving and tipping soil neatly. Down the side, across the pool deck and into the planters. Details: • Soil pile is delivered and ready to go • We have one wheelbarrow on site. • Please bring a spade, gloves if needed and if you’re a team of two, an extra barrow would make things quicker. • 3 large planter boxes to fill. • Estimated time: about 2 hours for one person (less if two people). Corinda 4075 Today if possible. Later in the day would be cooler. $150 Ideal for someone who’s physically capable, enjoys outdoor work, and takes care not to spill soil around garden edges.

Samuel worked well and got the job done! Will book again.
