Verified handyman network in Barcelona

We do planting in El Carmel. We visit the property, inspect the work, give you a clear price, and get started. “They look after our garden all year round, even though we spend six months in England. They come every two weeks, send us photos, and the house is always perfect when we return.”

How we work

For remote owners, we offer scheduled maintenance with notifications before and after each visit and, if requested, photos of the garden so you can see how it looks. For holiday rental properties, we coordinate visits between bookings, so that the terrace, pool, and garden are immaculate for every check-in. Vetted professionals, response within approximately two hours, 30-day guarantee on work, and clear quotes with no surprises. Select the service you need to see more details and request a quote.

When to call for planting in El Carmel

Regular garden maintenance, which is the most requested format. A visit every one, two, or four weeks depending on the size and season, including lawn mowing, edge trimming, weed removal, light pruning of hedges and shrubs, leaf blowing, and removal of green waste. We adapt the frequency to spring, when everything grows, and reduce it in mid-summer and winter. In spring, when everything grows very quickly, weekly or bi-weekly is ideal. In summer and winter, you can space visits every three or four weeks. We adjust it to the size of the garden and whether it's a rental property. When the garden has been untouched for months, the first step is a thorough overhaul. General clearing, mowing the lawn in several passes, pruning overgrown shrubs, and removing several trailers of waste. Once the garden is restored, the most cost-effective option is to enter a regular maintenance plan. Maintaining always costs less than restoring again.

Materials and Brands

The climate of the Costa Blanca dictates everything that is done in a garden. Long, dry, and very hot summers, with little rainfall between May and September and sun that punishes traditional lawns. A garden designed for Northern European climates, with a lot of grass and soft-leaved plants, consumes a vast 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. There isn't as much competition here 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. 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 resident Spaniards and foreign owners who sought to get away from saturated coastal urbanisations. This intermediate position has a specific technical consequence. The local supply of professionals is limited; freelancers working here don't face 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 a guarantee.

Indicative Price

The price for planting in El Carmel usually ranges between 44 and 588 euros. The final figure depends on the condition of the property, materials, and working time. We always provide a fixed quote before starting. Blowing, collection, and removal of all green waste to an authorised manager, included in the price. Yes, it's free and without obligation. We make a prior visit to see the garden, measure hedges and surfaces, and give you a fixed price. If you decide not to hire us, you pay nothing.

Frequently asked questions

How often should I maintain the garden?
In spring, when everything grows very quickly, weekly or bi-weekly is ideal. In summer and winter, you can space visits 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, this is one of our most common services. We work with remote owners, providing notifications before and after each visit, and photos of the results if requested. Payments and coordination from a distance are not a problem.
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 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 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 see the garden, measure hedges and surfaces, and give you a fixed price. If you decide not to hire us, you pay nothing.
