David Cockburn

Foreman

After relocating to Nelson and owning his own landscape company in Queenstown, David is now working as one of NVL's Foremen running our sites and crews.

Why did you move to NVL?

I moved to NVL as I wanted to go back to doing residential work instead of solely commercial.

Your favourite part of landscaping?

My favourite part about Landscaping would have to be being creative and figuring out the best outcome for each project that looks good and is functional.

What does a typical day at NVL look like for you?

A typical day at NVL: arriving at the yard, getting allocated a job and what we are doing and go do it. It's very organized which makes it easy to get the jobs done.

Best thing about NVL?

Best thing about NVL would have to be the crew. Great bunch of guys, easy to work with and the younger guys doing their apprenticeships are willing to learn ask and ask plenty of questions.
