What We Do
One local team. Five ways to help.
From a full seasonal crew on your orchard to a fortnightly mow at home. Pick what you need and we'll handle the rest.
Not sure what you need? Most customers end up combining two or three services.

Hawke's Bay
The Bay grows the fruit. We bring the hands, the gear, and the early starts.
See how we workWhy Choose DML
No fluff. Just what our customers actually care about.
We turn up. Every time.
Crews and gear arrive when we say they will. If anything changes, you hear it from us first, not from an empty row at 7am.
Compliance handled.
Our workers are our employees. Work rights checks, health & safety inductions, PPE, and payroll are all on us, not on you.
Based in Hastings. Working everywhere in the Bay.
We live and work here. Hastings, Napier, Havelock North, Flaxmere, Clive, and the blocks in between are all home turf for our crews.
We know our workers personally.
We hire, train, and transport our own crews. We know who is reliable, who is fast, and who you will want back next season.
Gear that is actually maintained.
Rental equipment is checked before it leaves the depot, so you are not losing daylight to avoidable breakdowns.
One call, a straight answer.
Ring us and you talk to the people who run the crews, not a call centre. We will tell you honestly what we can and cannot do.
Seasonal roles open across apples, grapes, and kiwifruit. $25–$30/hr incl. holiday pay.
Ready when you are
Let's get the job done right.
Tell us what you need. A crew, a mow, or a machine, we'll come back to you fast with a straight answer and a fair price.
