Dig Trench in flower bed

$350

Northbridge NSW, Australia

15th Jul 2024

We are looking for someone to dig out the soil from our flower bed so that we can prepare to plant a hedge. Please see photos attached of the flowerbed.   The dimensions of the flowerbed are 8.0m long x 0.9m wide x 0.3m deep. There is some bedrock down one end of the space, so the total dig will be a little less than these dimensions and you will need to dig around the rock.   The soil is to be placed on a tarp on the concrete block next to the flower bed, see photo.   You will need to bring your own tools, we have a shovel you can borrow but it is not very large.

Sonny was fantastic ! Will be using his services in the future. Highly recommend.
