My Mate Griffo Garden and Lawn Care

That moment when you're still just setting up for the job/day and walk into the yard to see your nephew, Brandon Underwood, whose only helped out a few times, has already jumped in and got most of the job done. Time for me to bring a deck chair to work and let him take over!

I am not and never have been Griffo.

Griffo was my Dad, and he was my mate and I bloody miss him. I'll have a beer for ya today mate.

Really enjoyed this job, especially the comment from the home owner, 'I never thought it would come out this good!'.

How nice was it today to walk into Ttg Childcare Centre and see their play area with real grass! Gave it an edge and trim, leaving it a little longer than normal to keep it nice and soft for the kids.

In this area we're surrounded by childcare centres with their synthetic manmade surfaces. What a beautiful, natural place ttg childcare centre has for the kids to play.

This was my favourite job from the week. Hedging is something I'm still working at improving, but really happy with this result. So impressed with the Ego gear.

After 24 years in emergency services I'm ready for a change, to do something I love.

With a young family, including my Peruvian wife and our 3 kids 5 and under, its time to end shift work, get a more family friendly roster and improve work/ life balance.

Born and bred in Surrey Downs, where I still live, I went to primary school in Wynn Vale, high school in Golden Grove. Played sport for TTG and Modbury. My first job was in Salisbury and I was based in Golden Grove this year. I am a true local.

Gardening has always been a passion of mine. Financially I've always struggled to believe I could make it a career.

I love this area. I have always supported it. Now I'm ready to give my gardening business a go, I hope the community will support me.

Please give me a call with whatever gardening work you need and I'd love to give you a quote. I'm just getting started and need work so you might get yourself a bargain!

Cheers
