🌍 HAPPY EARTH DAY!

Today, we celebrate the planet we all share and reaffirm our commitment to protecting the environment for future generations.

We’re proud to support the Return & Earn program in partnership with Cleanaway, making a real difference in our environment since 2018. By recycling your bottles, cans, and cartons, you’re not only helping reduce litter but also putting money back into the hands of the community! 

Here’s why it matters:
• Drink container litter makes up 44% of all litter in NSW and costs $162 million to manage each year.
• Every container returned makes an impact—and thanks to your support, our containers are regularly getting emptied as the community continues to get involved.

A huge thank you to Cleanaway—we deeply value our partnership! And to everyone who participates in the program, you’re truly making a difference. 

We are happy to welcome our patrons back today to say that we are open again after Easter long weekend and our facility is open from 8:30 today. Together, we’re creating a cleaner, greener future.

🌱 GROW WITH US: TURFING TEAM
 
Rain, hail or shine, our landscaping team is always ready to roll! While unpredictable weather can sometimes throw off our schedule, our team knows how to work around it to get the job done. Despite the unpredictable weather, our skilled team efficiently completed the turf installation at a Huntlee residence just before a weekend of wet weather. By quickly adapting to the changing weather conditions, we ensured the project was finished on time.
 
We’re proud to share how our team came together, pushing through the challenging soil conditions to achieve high-quality results in just two days! Teamwork not only makes us more efficient and motivated but also builds confidence, creating an environment where we adapt and learn from each other. The practical aspects of joining the Academy not only reward our employees with new skills but also help build social skills and improve communication among our trainees.
 
We’re thrilled that our lightning-fast turf installation and hardworking turfing team caught the eye of our client! A big thank you to  @cacti.casa.blanca 🌵for sharing a photo of their stunning new TifTuf turf as supplied by @agturf, which beautifully complements their cacti garden. 

We’re over the moon to hear they’re extremely happy with the installation!  Completing a project and seeing our work complement a brand-new home is always a rewarding experience.
