Had to channel the inner bonsai master for this one 🥷✂️🌳
The little guy was taking over the neighbourhood!

Turns out there was a pretty cool tree hiding under there 👌

Day 1 of 2 giving the trees in Takapau a bit of glow up ahead of the towns 150th Jubilee ✨️🌳

Hard to picture it now but Takapau once sat at the northern edge of the mighty Seventy Mile Bush, a native forest that stretched all the way down to the Wairarapa!

The winch and the burn pile making life a lot easier!

Cheers for the mention, guys ❤️

We've been big supporters of these guys from day dot and love what they do.

Many of you would have met Cooper, our lazy four-legged apprentice on site. He's an ex Ruahine boy!

And a lot of you probably won't know this, but Rhys Hanratty actually spends a fair bit of his own time helping these guys out by taking the rescue dogs for walks. Bloody legend! 👏🙌

If you haven't already. Check out their page, give them a follow Ruahine Animal Rescue

There are heaps of ways to get involved if you're keen - donations, sponsorship, walking dogs, fostering, or just interacting with their page helps spread the love 🐾❤️

Pretty cool that todays clients wanted to keep a memento of this tree. It unfortunately had to go for the new pool addition.

Juarn took on the challenge and master crafted up this little poolside gem.

Nice work dude 👌

Well that was an absolute monster of a mission 🥵

Big days.. Sore bodies.. A fair few moments of “ why did I ever say yes to this? ”

But we all just kept turning up and got it done. Nothing but hard hard work.. Bloody grateful for these guys Rhys Hanratty, Juarn Lewis - some serious effort from everyone 💪

Safe to say… that's enough She-oaks for a lifetime.
If anyone needs 200 more done, we’re suddenly booked out - indefinitely!
