Its 5pm on a cool, fresh Autumn afternoon - the team has finished up for the day, so it's the perfect time for an impromptu netball training session! (featuring Pani; Shiv & Joe's eldest daughter, working hard to prepare for the first game of the netball season this weekend)

Hmmmmmm - time for some new pants there Joe? “Brand New” he reckons 🙄
(NB - this was the last of the sawdust, he’d been going hard for about 15 seconds prior to the phone recording) 😂

Happy Easter Everyone! It’s been a weekend of whanau for Joe, Shiv and their family :-) Eating, Hunting, Eeling, Swimming, a bit of work at the Mārae and just celebrating being together…and of course a bit of taking the mickey out of our Rangatahi….. (check this video out)😂😂 featuring the foot of a deer and some grumpy teenagers…

Is Shiv a mean boss for this?
Apparently she now has to watch out for payback.....🤣

Sometimes, we get opportunities to add value to projects much bigger than ourselves ❤️
Today, owner/managers Shiv and Joe went to Taupō to help a team of volunteers pick around 600 hand selected scoria rocks for an art and conservation project on Niue Island. Shiv has strong family ties to Niue and both her and Joe couldn’t turn down an opportunity to contribute towards the newest addition to the Hikulagi Sculpture Park in Liku, Niue. The final creation itself will be a surprise but if you ever happen to be in Niue and want to donate time to a good cause; let us know and we’ll point you in the right direction 🙂 An awesome day with awesome people!

In the recent storms (the aftermath clean up is still happening); Rivercity Trees were literally in the thick of it. Our team are always out there; rain, hail, sun and shine - doing our best to help keep the roads open; especially in severe weather events. This clip here shows just how unpredictable the weather can be; resulting in unsafe trees. Featuring Blake, Issaac and the Jim (the Hilux)

It’s always great to be partnered with organisations that have the same values; especially when it comes to our environment.

Let's spare a moment to think about Adam; who's stuck in the office doing all Joe's quotes while Joe goes for helicopter rides and digs up big glow worms.🤣🤣🤣

(Haha! Never fear; Joe is actually doing some proper work; a small RTS team have headed deep into the Whanganui National Park to help our Department of Conservation staff out on a job - more about this later😉 )
