Hey neighbours 👋
I’ve got a few spots left for concrete work before Xmas if anyone needs it done.
Driveways, paths, patios, house surrounds, small jobs — all good.
Affordable rates, can box + lay or just lay if you’re doing the prep.
Free quotes anytime.

These days, we’re getting pretty creative about how we do it too. The latest idea? You can actually buy a symbolic piece of one of New Zealand’s most remote islands as part of the Auckland Island Restoration Project.

Finding the right mattress for lower back pain can feel like a maze, but the right choice can completely change your mornings. The trick isn’t just the mattress — it’s how you sleep on it. Back sleepers with a pillow under the knees, side sleepers with one between the legs, and a mattress that’s supportive yet comfy can make a world of difference.
Curious which mattress will give your back the relief it deserves? Check out our full guide here: beds4u.co.nz...
Sleep smarter, neighbours — wake up refreshed, pain-free, and ready to take on the day!
