Verified handyman network in Barcelona

We provide lawn maintenance in Gavà. We visit the property, inspect the work, provide a clear price, and begin. 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 programmed system waters 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, overwaters in the middle of the day, loses half the water to evaporation, and significantly increases the bill without improving the garden.

How we work

Call us, message us on WhatsApp, or request your quote online — we'll respond in under 10 minutes during business hours. Decorative gravel is very common here because it requires little water and low maintenance. Over time, it shifts, mixes with soil, and allows weeds to grow through. We re-level and rake the gravel, replenish any missing, install weed control fabric where necessary, and treat weeds sprouting in joints and edges. We do the same for driveways, paths, and walkways to ensure the entire exterior looks well-maintained. During a visit, we inspect paths and gravel areas, garden furniture, fences and railings, outdoor lighting, and porch elements. We provide a clear list of what should be done now and what can wait. We work on a fixed-price per job basis, with no surprises, leaving the exterior ready for enjoyment or for your tenants.

When to call for lawn maintenance in Gavà

The same garden doesn't need the same irrigation in April as in August. We adjust the programmer seasonally: more frequent and longer duration in summer, less in spring and autumn, and minimal in winter. For clients away for long periods, we set up a robust program that withstands the entire period without intervention. If desired, we can install systems with mobile control and a rain sensor to avoid watering when it's not needed. For a new installation, we start by measuring the garden and grouping areas according to water requirements. Lawn and succulents do not need the same amount of water. We design the pipe layout, calculate the number of drippers and sprinklers, install solenoid valves, and connect everything to a programmer, which can be battery-powered at the tap or electric on the wall. Increasingly, these are controllable from a mobile phone. We test and program each zone, and explain how to change timings when the season changes. The most common faults are drippers and sprinklers clogged by the local water's lime scale, solenoid valves that fail to open or close, programmers that have lost their settings, and, most importantly, leaks in buried pipes. A hidden leak can go unnoticed for months, only becoming apparent on the water bill or as a perpetually waterlogged area of the garden. We locate the leak, excavate the minimum necessary, repair the section, and verify there is no phantom consumption.

Materials and brands

The Costa Blanca climate dictates everything done in a garden. Long, dry, and very hot summers, with little rain between May and September and sun that stresses traditional lawns. A garden designed for Northern European climates, with lots of grass and soft-leaved plants, consumes an enormous amount of water and struggles 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 work with both major types of irrigation. Drip irrigation, ideal for flowerbeds, hedges, trees, and vegetable gardens, delivers water drop by drop to the base of each plant and is the most efficient in terms of consumption. Sprinkler irrigation, for lawn areas and meadows, distributes water as a fine spray. Many gardens combine both by zones, each with its own solenoid valve and independent programming. We configure the programmer by zones and season to irrigate at the correct time and in the right amount.

Frequently asked questions

How often should the garden be maintained?
In spring, when everything grows very quickly, weekly or bi-weekly is ideal. In summer and winter, this can be extended to every three or four weeks. We adjust it to the size of the garden and whether it's 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 commencing work.
Can you look after the garden if I'm not in Spain?
Yes, this is one of our most common services. We work with remote owners, sending notifications before and after each visit, and photos of the results if requested. Payments and remote coordination are handled without issue.
Is it worth switching to a low water consumption garden?
In this climate, almost always. Decorative gravel, Mediterranean plants and drip irrigation greatly reduce water consumption and maintenance, and withstand the summer without suffering. We offer free, no-obligation advice.
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 buried systems, leaks are very common and can be located with an inspection.
Is the quote free?
Yes, free and without obligation. We conduct a preliminary visit to assess the garden, measure hedges and surfaces, and provide you with a fixed price. If you decide not to hire us, you pay nothing.
