They go together like salt and pepper, and bacon and eggs. That’s how synonymous Maurice is at Ashburton Contracting Limited, which has been in operation since 1995.

Maurice is ACL’s landscaping supplies manager and has been working for the company for 18 years.

“I’ve been here for a long time,” Maurice said with a smile.

“I had a background in this business long before I joined ACL because shingle and landscaping products were always part of my life.”

“When I started, we had a smaller selection,” he said.

“Now we’ve expanded our inventory to include a vast array of products. We’ve got everything from the popular bark nuggets to coloured stones, various shapes and sizes, and even crusher dust. Our soil and growing materials are something we really pride ourselves on.”

“We offer deliveries in our little truck too,” he adds.

“And for those who prefer to grab and go, we have smaller lots and bags available.

“It’s perfect for those with smaller spaces who don’t need a full trailer load.”

“We’ve got a display in the office showcasing most of our products, and we also share photos of various landscape jobs around town to give them inspiration
