Mason Woods

Maintenance Gardener

Mason joined the NVL team in 2022 as a Landscape Labourer but realised early on that his skills are more suitable for the NVL Maintenance team.

What do you do at NVL?
I work in landscape maintenance for residential, commercial and showhome properties.

Why did you choose a career in landscape maintenance?
I first started off helping the maintenance crew here and there. Then I grew and fell in love with caring for gardens, learning about plants and making a property look their best.

What do people not realise about landscape maintenance?
It’s more than just mowing lawns and weed killing/picking. We get to shape trees, hedges and look after garden beds. We basically turn a backyard into a beautifully landscaped piece of art.

What does a usual day look like for you?
Every day is different, which I enjoy. We could spend a day working on one property, or several. Each job has its own challenges and perks.

Best thing about NVL?
Best thing about NVL is the team. The company feels like a big team/family. Everyone gets along and we are well looked after by Nigel and the rest of the management. Best company I’ve worked for and proud to work for.
