Hi there!

We are Dirty. Here’s a bit about us:

• We plant plants. Dirty is a planting company. We plant many, many plants for landscaping and forestry clients all around Australia. Big plants, little plants, all kinds of plants.
• We’re obsessed with what we do. No, seriously, we’re in love with it. Most people think of planting as lowly, menial labour. But to us, it’s an adventure with huge opportunity.
• We’re planter focused. Dirty is a planter-owned, planter-run business. 100% planters, zero corporate overlords. We know there is no such thing as a monopoly on good ideas and that people are more productive when they’re given agency to make change.
