Amidst the turmoil of the North Coast flooding, we have been crowned the winner of the Home and Garden Improvement category in the Australian Small Business Champion Awards!
Flood affected Landscape Garden Designers
Like so many businesses on the North Coast of New South Wales, we were severely affected by the recent flooding. The flood water levels reached 1.5 metres within our workshop. We lost thousands of dollars in tools and machinery, including several brand-new utes.
After the flooding, Dan White, owner of Early Up, pulled together with his team to salvage what was left of his business. They spent days cleaning out the toxic sludge. Dan managed to source temporary hire utes, and amazingly within one week they were back up and running.
After the devastation of the floods, it was so uplifting to receive a phone call about the re-scheduled awards… a real ‘pick-me-up’ that we all desperately needed. Early Up’s Operations Manager Vanessa and Dan flew down to Sydney for the award presentation at The Star Casino on Saturday. As you can imagine, it was a very emotional moment for us when we were announced the winners.

We’re back out helping the clean up through Backyard Landscaping
It will take months to fully recover from this natural disaster. However, we feel incredibly grateful that we’re up and running again. We’re also thankful to be able to be able to work on projects helping flood victims who have lost everything. Plants and gardens play an important role in the recovery process. They are scientifically proven to enhance one’s mood and lower stress and anxiety. Every little bit helps.
We can all do our part to help small businesses bounce back after the flooding. Your business will help others get through these difficult times. If you need any lawn, garden care, or landscaping for your property, please contact Early Up. Together as a community, we’ll get through this.
