Hand holding a freshly picked red apple in an orchard

Horticulture Contracting

Horticulture Contracting

Pruning, thinning, picking and packhouse work, done properly.

What We Cover

Orchard and vineyard work, done by people who do it every week.

Our crews work Hawke's Bay blocks year-round. They prune apples in winter, thin in spring, pick through harvest, and back up packhouses when the fruit comes in. You get experienced hands, proper supervision, and work that holds up to inspection.

How It Works

Three steps from first call to finished block.

01

Walk the block with us

We come out, look at the work together, and quote what we see in front of us. No charge, no obligation.

02

One contract, one contact

You deal with one DML manager from the first pass to the last row. No chasing crews, no mixed messages.

03

We keep you informed

Progress updates as the work moves, and a straight call if weather or conditions change the plan.

Pricing

Contract work is priced per hour, per tree or bay, or per bin depending on the crop and operation. Request an on-site assessment. It costs nothing and the quote will reflect the real work.
