If you’d prefer to leave your lawn care and hedge trimming in the capable hands of an expert, then let that expert be Dougal from Whanganui. Dougal is proud to service lower Aramoho, Whanganui East and Central, Gonville, and Castlecliff. His people skills and attention to detail have afforded him a loyal customer base that loves the professional finish he achieves every time.

Whether he’s completing a one-off lawn mow or a regular job for a client, Dougal does his best for every person he meets. He also uses a range of high-quality gear to get the job done, such as ride-on lawnmowers, a Stihl chainsaw and hedge trimmer, and a Makita weed eater.

Dougal didn’t always have the desirable work-life balance he does now, being able to head away on caravanning weekend trips to Lake Taupo once a month. Instead, he was a truck driver for 12 years, working up to 70 hours a week with no time for the finer things in life.

To get the balance he wanted, he started working for Crewcut, building his business from the ground up. He now maintains a large customer base, while doing all the work himself. 

Dougal has learned many things about working in the lawn care industry. He believes people appreciate the professionalism of a job well done, and having official documentation such as GST registration. He also says that Whanganui has some of the best weather, with no extremes that impinge on his ability to service his clients’ properties.

While physical fitness is a must-have in such an industry, the work-life balance is unbeatable. Dougal says the emphasis is on lifestyle, and choosing the hours he wants to work is a significant drawcard.
