Another successful removal of a dead gledistsia tree!!! Safe and no hydrangea was harmed, nor was the tuecreum hedge!!! Ready for the stump to be ground down! Good test for my portable hansa c7 chipper that can fit compactly into the back of my trailer!

Tidy edges. Clear spaces. Less weeding.
Garden timber edging is the easiest way to give your garden shape and keep everything where it belongs.
Use it to separate lawn from garden beds, create neat pathways, build raised veggie patches, or define play areas.
It stops mulch and soil from spilling, keeps grass from creeping, and makes mowing and maintenance a breeze.
Natural timber blends right into any garden.
Basically: more time enjoying your garden, less time fighting

Do you have areas that would look great edged?
There is multiple ways to edge of garden areas!
Timber is one of them!

Sometimes less is more! Out with all the noise, in with low maintenance and a clean look!

Thank you Sue Neal for the work! I’m looking forward to the pool party 🥳

Kia Ora, as a lot of you see some of my posts from time to time, I thought I’d share a bit about myself!

My name is Juarn and I am the owner of Kandu gardens and part owner of Rigby Contracting. I have 2 daughters and my partner and I live in Waipawa! I was born in AUZ but back the Warriors 🤙🏾

I’ve had numerous job roles in my life, hardscaping for Espaso Verde, infantryman in the NZ Army, silviculture forestry crew member, mitre 10 garden centre, Watties complex recipe to name a few.

My hobbies include but are definitely not limited to, surfing, gardening, fishing, golfing, chainsaw work, art, digger work, sport, Beers and pool games at clubs Hastings.

I started Kandu gardens so I could surf when I wanted to! I also love well landscaped gardens, backyards and plants so it’s a passion I love helping places add more flow. It turns out I got far busier than I thought and I surf a little less now!

Thanks for following Kandu gardens on its journey and how it all unfolds!

A great thanks to all the people I have worked with. And will work with! Appreciate you all!
