Floreat WA 6014, Australia

12th Feb 2025

We have a delivery of 2m3 of soil improver coming on Thursday morning and would love some help with the physical work of shovelling the soil into wheelbarrows and wheeling the barrows around the back to deposit the soil on a roughly 8x4m area to prepare for a new lawn. The side access is level for about 20m then down a ramp to the back yard. We have barrows and shovels. While I could do it myself, I would love the help of a strong, fit person to help with this task. The lawn arrives on Friday, so that leaves Thursday afternoon to move the soil into place. Let me know if you would like to help and if you have any questions. Type of gardening: Other Size of garden: Under 50m² Has green waste bin: Yes
