Verified handyman network in Barcelona

We carry out lawn maintenance in Santa Coloma de Gramenet. We visit the property, assess the work, provide you with a clear price, and then 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 properly programmed system irrigates early in the morning or late in the evening. There's less evaporation, water is delivered directly to the roots with drip irrigation, and timings are adapted to each season. A poorly adjusted system, on the other hand, over-waters in the middle of the day, loses half its water to evaporation, and inflates the bill without improving the garden.

How we work

Call us, send us a WhatsApp message, or request your quote online — we'll respond in less than 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 areas, 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 area looks tidy. During a visit, we check paths and gravel areas, garden furniture, fences and railings, outdoor lighting, and porch elements. We provide you with a clear list of what needs to be done now and what can wait. We work with a fixed price per job, with no surprises, and leave the outdoor area ready for you to enjoy or for new tenants.

When to call for lawn maintenance in Santa Coloma de Gramenet

The same garden does not need the same irrigation in April as it does in August. We adjust the programmer by season: more frequent and longer duration in summer, less in spring and autumn, and almost nothing in winter. For clients who are absent for long periods, we set a robust program that lasts the entire duration without intervention. If desired, we offer 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 it into zones 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 for the tap or mains-powered for a wall. Increasingly, these are controllable from a mobile phone. We test and program each zone, and explain how to change the 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 notably, leaks in underground pipes. A hidden leak can go unnoticed for months, only becoming apparent from the water bill or a constantly waterlogged area of the garden. We locate the leak, open up the minimum necessary area, repair the section, and verify that there is no residual water usage.

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 a sun that punishes traditional lawns. A garden designed for Northern European climates, with a lot of lawn 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 main types of irrigation. Drip irrigation, ideal for flowerbeds, hedges, trees, and vegetable patches, 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 zone, each with its own solenoid valve and independent programming. We configure the programmer by zones and season to irrigate at the correct time and with the right amount.

Frequently asked questions

How often should I maintain the garden?
In spring, when everything grows very quickly, ideally it should be every one or two weeks. In summer and winter, you can space it out to every three or four weeks. We adjust this to the size of the garden and whether it's a rental property.
Do you take away the 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, this is one of our most common services. We work with remote owners, providing notices before and after each visit and photos of the result 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 significantly reduce water consumption and maintenance, and they withstand the summer without suffering. We offer advice without obligation.
Do you install and repair automatic irrigation?
Yes, we install drip and sprinkler irrigation, program the controller by season, 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, it's free and without obligation. We conduct 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.
