How we work

Call us, message us on WhatsApp, or request your quote online – we'll respond within 10 minutes during business hours. We arrive with a professional pressure washer, using a rotary surface nozzle for large areas and a lance for corners, grout lines, and edges. We first remove furniture, pots, and obstacles, sweep away loose debris, and if there are grease or tyre stains in the car entrance, we apply a specific degreaser to act before the high-pressure water. Then, we clean the entire surface with methodical passes to avoid streaks, paying special attention to grout lines and corners where algae accumulates. Once the surface is clean and dry, we offer two optional finishes. Grout sealing delays the regrowth of weeds and algae and makes future cleaning easier. The anti-slip treatment is highly recommended for walkways and around pools, where wet tiles pose a real risk to children and the elderly. Regarding frequency, on the Costa Blanca, an annual cleaning in spring is sufficient for most terraces. Shaded areas or those with many nearby trees might need it twice a year.

When to call for a vertical garden in Vallcarca i els Penitents

The climate here is very demanding on outdoor surfaces. Sahara dust and haze leave a thin yellowish-brown layer on terraces; irrigation and nighttime humidity encourage algae and moss in shaded areas. Near the coast, salt spray deposits on tiles and stone. In just a few months, a terrace that was light beige can look greenish-grey and become slippery when wet. Pressure washing restores the original colour and ensures safe, non-slip footing. The vertical roller blind is the standard solution for medium-sized windows. The screen rolls up into a top box when not in use and is lowered by cord when needed. It's discreet when retracted and allows for an unobstructed panoramic view. For first-line coastal areas, we always recommend an anodised aluminium frame with marine treatment and a PVC-coated fibreglass mesh. This combination easily withstands salt spray, UV sun, and continuous humidity for 8-10 years. For inland areas, a standard aluminium frame and basic mesh are sufficient and reduce costs without compromising real durability.

Materials and brands

We clean terraces, porches, solariums, paths, walkways, and car entrances of all material types. Porcelain stoneware, natural stone, imprinted concrete, microcement, paving stones, and hydraulic tiles. Each material requires a different pressure and nozzle, so we always perform a test on an inconspicuous area before tackling the entire surface. For most common materials: porcelain stoneware, natural stone, imprinted concrete, microcement, paving stones, and hydraulic tiles. We always do a preliminary test in a little-seen area and adjust the pressure to avoid damaging the material. Custom professional mosquito screens definitively solve the problem. The difference compared to generic large-surface screens lies in four aspects. Fit: generic screens leave gaps on the sides through which mosquitoes enter. Cheap ones use thin plastic that deteriorates in one or two summers under the sun; professional ones use treated fibreglass that lasts 8-10 years. The frame: generic ones have a thin profile that warps; professional ones have reinforced frames. And the mechanism: cheap elastics versus quality springs and magnetic closures.

Frequently asked questions

How often should the garden be maintained?
In spring, when everything grows very quickly, every one or two weeks is ideal. In summer and winter, you can extend it to every three or four weeks. We adjust it to the garden size and if it's a rental property.
Do you take away the green waste?
Yes, the removal and transport of green waste to an authorised disposal site is included in the quote. For large clearings, the cost of extra trailers will be indicated before we start.
Can you look after the garden if I'm not in Spain?
Yes, it's one of our most common services. We work with owners remotely, sending notifications before and after each visit and photos of the result if you ask. Payments and coordination are handled remotely without any issues.
Is it worth switching to a low-water-use garden?
In our climate, almost always. Decorative gravel, Mediterranean plants, and drip irrigation significantly reduce water consumption and maintenance, and they withstand summer without suffering. We can advise you with no obligation.
Do you install and repair automatic irrigation?
Yes, we install drip and sprinkler irrigation, program the controller per zone, and repair leaks, drippers, and sprinklers. In old, buried systems, leaks are very frequent and can be located with an inspection.
Is the quote free?
Yes, free of charge and with no obligation. We do a preliminary visit to see the garden, measure hedges and surfaces, and give you a fixed price. If you decide not to hire us, you don't pay anything.
