Verified handyman network in Barcelona

We do planting in Arenys de Mar. We visit the property, inspect the work, give you a clear price, and then start. The most requested service is renovations and updates of installations in village houses. Many central properties have installations from the 70s and 80s that haven't been seriously updated. Electrical panels brought up to REBT standards with a certificate, replacement of copper pipes with multi-layer when renovating kitchens or bathrooms, installation of air conditioning in homes that previously only had shutter ventilation. The difference before and after the update is radical for clients who have lived with marginal installations for decades.

How we work

For a new owner in San Miguel, finding the right professional can be a frustrating trial-and-error process. We work here with the same standards as in any other area: technical visit, fixed quote, intervention with a 30-day guarantee, full invoice. We cover San Miguel village and the surrounding urbanisations that have grown around it, especially Las Comunidades and Blue Lagoon, where British and Irish owners are concentrated. Call us, message us on WhatsApp, or request your quote online — we respond in less than 10 minutes during business hours. When a garden hasn't been touched for months, the first step is a thorough overhaul. General clearing, several passes of lawn mowing, pruning of overgrown bushes, and removal of several trailer-loads of debris. Once the garden is restored, it's most cost-effective to enter into a periodic maintenance plan. Maintaining is always cheaper than restoring again.

When to call for planting in Arenys de Mar

The second in volume is electrical and plumbing emergencies in urbanisations like Blue Lagoon or Las Comunidades. Here, British and Irish owners are mostly residents with villas from the 90s and 2000s. Heaters that are ageing, air conditioning splits losing gas, fuse boxes tripping with the washing machine and oven on together. English-speaking service when the technician allows. The typical client calls because they've had a bad previous experience with a local freelancer. Work poorly finished, surprise invoice, no show when they need to re-check. The offer of professional services with a real guarantee in San Miguel is limited. Arriving from Torrevieja with a verified technician, fixed quote, and 30-day guarantee resolves that difference. Yes, these are urbanisations we regularly cover. Mostly 90s villas with British and Irish owners. English-speaking technicians when required.

Materials and brands

San Miguel de Salinas is an inland municipality fifteen kilometres from Torrevieja, in the Vega Baja region. It has about ten thousand inhabitants and a mixed profile of Spanish residents and foreign owners who sought to distance themselves from saturated coastal urbanisations. This intermediate position has a specific technical consequence. The local offer of professionals is limited; the freelancers who work here do not have as much competition as in Torrevieja or Orihuela Costa, and the average quality of service is uneven. Some professionals are excellent, we know them. Others take advantage of the lack of alternatives to do quick jobs without warranty. Here there's not as much competition as on the coast, and it shows in the quality of some professionals. We work in San Miguel with the same standards as in Torrevieja. The climate of the Costa Blanca dictates everything that is 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 grass and soft-leaved 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.

Indicative pricing

The price for planting in Arenys de Mar typically ranges between €44 and €588. The final figure depends on the property's condition, materials, and labour time. We always provide a fixed quote before starting. We adjust the frequency to the reality of the garden and the season. In spring, from March to June, growth is explosive, and weekly or bi-weekly visits are advisable. In mid-summer, the lawn slows due to the heat, and we can space out visits. In winter, visits every three or four weeks are usually sufficient. This flexibility keeps costs under control without the garden ever becoming overgrown.

Frequently asked questions

How often should the garden be maintained?
In spring, when everything grows very quickly, it's ideal to do it every one or two weeks. In summer and winter, you can space it out 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 is indicated before starting.
Can you look after the garden if I'm not in Spain?
Yes, it's one of our most common services. We work with overseas 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 garden?
In this climate, almost always. Decorative gravel, Mediterranean plants, and drip irrigation significantly reduce water consumption and maintenance, and they withstand summer without suffering. We offer no-obligation advice.
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 buried systems, leaks are very common and can be located with an inspection.
Is the quote free?
Yes, it's free and without obligation. We make a prior visit to inspect the garden, measure hedges and surfaces, and give you a fixed price. If you decide not to hire us, you pay nothing.
