I need 2 large rectangular planter boxes moved from their current location to another area at my home. They are very heavy and will need to be emptied of the soil first, then carried/moved around the side of the house and up a few stairs onto a deck. This is definitely a 2-person job due to the size and weight of the planters. Please bring any suitable moving equipment/trolley if you have it. Once moved, I’d like the soil put back into the planter boxes. Photos attached. I’ve included my hand in one photo for an idea of the size/scale. Job includes: * Remove soil from 2 large planter boxes * Move planter boxes around the house * Take them up a few stairs onto the deck * Position them where required * Put the soil back in Looking for two people who are comfortable moving large/heavy outdoor pots or furniture.
Unbelievable service! Went above and beyond with the job! Highly recommend! Polite, professional and extremely knowledgeable!
