About Mud to Mint
From One Bay Local to Another: Keeping Our Region’s Hardest-Working Machinery Moving
Hi, we’re Brock and Charlotte, the founders of Mud to Mint. Growing up and working right here in Hawke’s Bay, we’ve always had a massive respect for the people who keep our region running. Whether you’re managing an orchard in Hastings, running a forestry crew in Mohaka, working the port in Napier, or operating a civil site out in Central Hawke’s Bay—your machinery is your livelihood.
We started this business because we saw how easily heavy grime, grease, and Hawke’s Bay mud can take a toll on expensive gear. Taking time out of a busy week to properly degrease a tractor or scrub down an excavator is a massive chore, but letting it sit can lead to hidden leaks, overheating, and costly downtime.
We aren’t just a crew with a pressure washer. We’re a local team that understands the grit it takes to run these machines, and we treat your fleet like our own. We do the dirty work thoroughly and efficiently, so you can focus on the job at hand and keep your business looking sharp.
