Born from a spark of post-military purpose and the sight of a “for lease” sign on an empty landscaping yard, Diggers Landscape Supplies has flourished into one of the Northern Beaches’ most respected providers of garden and construction materials.
Founded by former Australian Army members Joel and Charlotte Ford, Diggers Landscape Supplies wasn’t born from a business plan – it was fuelled by a drive to find new purpose beyond the uniform.
Armed with a truck licence, a forklift ticket, and a clear vision, the couple turned their idea into reality within just three weeks. What began as a humble delivery service has since evolved into a thriving operation with eight staff, a fleet of seven vehicles, and over 2,000 product lines – from premium topsoil and retaining wall blocks to decorative gravel and certified soft fall for children’s play areas.
Yet, it’s not just the scale of the operation that sets Diggers Landscape Supplies apart…it’s the heart behind it.
The business intentionally creates flexible employment opportunities for fellow veterans, offering roles that accommodate individual capacity while reigniting a sense of purpose and camaraderie.
“They just get things done,” Charlotte says.
“There’s attention to detail, plenty of banter, but always respect and teamwork at the core.”
That military-born mindset of resilience, accountability, and a relentless work ethic, translates directly into exceptional service.
Clients receive personalised deliveries tailored to their accessibility needs, and materials are packaged in manageable loads.
With the community at the heart of their mission, Diggers Landscape Supplies actively supports a number of local initiatives.
“We’re incredibly proud to be part of the Northern Beaches,” Charlotte said.
“Out here, we all look after one another – and that’s something we carry into every job.”
Whether you’re refreshing a backyard or coordinating a large-scale commercial project, supporting Diggers Landscape Supplies means more than sourcing quality landscaping products – it means investing in a business built on service, honour, and heart.
