Verified handyman network in Barcelona

We do lawn maintenance in El Bon Pastor. We visit the property, assess the work, give you a clear price, and then start. In a climate with long, dry summers and very little rain between May and September, automatic irrigation is not a luxury. It's what keeps the garden alive. A well-designed and well-programmed system irrigates early in the morning or late in the evening. There is less evaporation, water goes directly to the roots with drip irrigation, and timings are adapted to each season. A poorly adjusted system, however, over-waters in the middle of the day, loses half the water due to evaporation, and inflates the bill without the garden improving.

How we work

Call us, send us a WhatsApp message, or request your quote online — we respond in less than 10 minutes during business hours. During a visit, we check paths and gravel areas, garden furniture, fences and railings, outdoor lighting, and porch elements. We provide a clear list of what needs to be done now and what can wait. We work with a fixed-price quote per job, with no surprises, and leave the exterior ready for you to enjoy or for your tenants to move in. Decorative gravel is very common here because it requires little water and maintenance. Over time, it gets displaced, mixes with soil, and allows weeds to grow through. We re-level and rake the gravel, replenish any missing, install weed membrane where needed, and treat weeds sprouting in joints and edges. We do the same in driveways, paths, and walkways to ensure the entire area looks well-maintained.

When to call for lawn maintenance in El Bon Pastor

The most frequent faults are clogged drippers and sprinklers due to limescale in the local water, solenoid valves that don't open or close, programmers that have lost their settings, and, above all, leaks in underground pipes. A hidden leak can go unnoticed for months, only becoming apparent on the water bill or as a constantly waterlogged area in the garden. We locate the leak, open the minimum necessary, repair the section, and verify that there is no phantom consumption. For a new installation, we start by measuring the garden and grouping areas according to water needs. Lawn and succulents do not require the same irrigation. We design the pipe layout, calculate the number of drippers and sprinklers, install the solenoid valves, and connect everything to a programmer, which can be battery-powered at the tap or electric on the wall. Increasingly, it can be controlled from a mobile phone. We test and program each zone, and explain how to change the timings when the season changes. The same garden does not need the same irrigation in April as in August. We adjust the programmer seasonally: more frequency and duration in summer, less in spring and autumn, and almost none in winter. For clients who are away for long periods, we set up robust programming that lasts the entire period without intervention. If desired, systems with mobile control and a rain sensor can prevent irrigation when it's not needed.

Materials and brands

The climate of the Costa Blanca dictates everything done in a garden. Long, dry, and very hot summers, with little rain between May and September and sun that punishes traditional lawns. A garden designed for a Northern European climate, with a lot of lawn and soft-leafed plants, consumes an enormous amount of water and suffers in July and August. That's why more and more clients are opting for low-consumption gardens. Decorative gravel, Mediterranean plants (lavender, rosemary, oleander, cacti, and succulents), palm trees, and olive trees. We locate leaks in underground networks, repair them, and verify that there is no phantom consumption. We configure the programmer by zones and season to irrigate at the correct time and in the right quantity.

Frequently asked questions

How often should I maintain the garden?
In spring, when everything grows very quickly, it is ideal every one or two weeks. In summer and winter, you can space this out to every three or four weeks. We adjust it to the size of the garden and whether it is a rental property.
Do you remove green waste?
Yes, the removal and transport of green waste to a recycling centre or authorised manager is included in the quote. For large clearing jobs, the cost of extra trailers will be indicated before starting.
Can you look after the garden if I'm not in Spain?
Yes, it is one of our most common services. We work with remote owners, providing notifications before and after each visit, and photos of the result if you request them. Payments and remote coordination are handled without issue.
Is it worth switching to a low water consumption garden?
Given the local climate, almost always. Decorative gravel, Mediterranean plants, and drip irrigation significantly reduce water consumption and maintenance, and they withstand summer without suffering. We advise you without obligation.
Do you install and repair automatic irrigation?
Yes, we install drip and sprinkler irrigation, program the controller seasonally, and repair leaks, drippers, and sprinklers. In old underground systems, leaks are very common and can be located with an inspection.
Is the quote free?
Yes, free and without obligation. We make a preliminary visit to inspect the garden, measure hedges and surfaces, and provide you with a fixed price. If you decide not to hire us, you pay nothing.
