Verified handyman network in Barcelona

We do planting in El Poble-sec. We visit the property, assess the work, give you a clear price, and get started. Regular garden maintenance is our most requested service. 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 adjust the frequency for spring, when everything grows, and reduce it in mid-summer and winter.

When to call for planting in El Poble-sec

“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. In spring, when everything grows very quickly, weekly or bi-weekly visits are ideal. In summer and winter, this can be extended to every three or four weeks. We adjust this to the size of the garden and whether it's a rental property. When a garden hasn't been touched for months, the first step is a thorough overhaul. General clearing, multiple passes of lawn mowing, pruning of overgrown shrubs, and removal of several trailers of waste. Once the garden is restored, the most cost-effective approach is to enter a regular maintenance plan. Maintaining always costs less than restoring again.

Materials and Brands

The Costa Blanca climate dictates everything done in a garden. Long, dry, very hot summers, with little rain between May and September and 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 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. Here, there isn't 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. 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 move 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 inconsistent. Some professionals are excellent, we know them. Others take advantage of the lack of alternatives to do quick jobs without a guarantee.

Frequently asked questions

How often should the garden be maintained?
In spring, when everything grows very quickly, weekly or bi-weekly visits are ideal. In summer and winter, this can be extended to every three or four weeks. We adjust this to the size of the garden and whether it's a rental property.
Do you remove green waste?
Yes, removal and transport of green waste to a recycling centre or authorised manager is included in the quote. For large clearing jobs, the cost for extra trailers will be specified before we start.
Can you look after the garden if I'm not in Spain?
Yes, this is one of our most common services. We work with absentee owners, providing notifications before and after each visit, and photos of the result upon request. 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'll advise you without obligation.
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 underground systems, leaks are very common and can be located with an inspection.
Is the quote free?
Yes, it's free and with no obligation. We make an initial 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.
