Verified handyman network in Barcelona

We do planting in Hostafrancs. We visit the property, assess the work, give you a clear price, and get started. 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 shrubs, and removal of several trailer loads of waste. Once the garden is restored, the most cost-effective approach is to enter into a regular maintenance plan. Maintaining always costs less than having to recover it again.

How we work

Yes, it's very common. We coordinate access, notify you before and after each visit, and send you photos of the result if you request them. Ideal for remote owners and holiday rentals. We first do a thorough overhaul (clearing, several passes of cutting, pruning, and waste removal) and from there we enter into periodic maintenance to prevent it from happening again. We have verified professionals available in less than 2 hours. Choose the service and ask us for a quote.

When to call for planting in Hostafrancs

Old electrical panels updated to REBT with signed certificate, replacement of internal wiring where necessary, installation of separate differential switches by zone. Timeline: one or two days. Yes, these are urbanisations we regularly cover. A majority of 90s villas with British and Irish owners. Technicians available in English when required. The second in volume is electrical and plumbing emergencies in urbanisations such as Blue Lagoon or Las Comunidades. Here, British and Irish owners are mostly residents with villas from the 90s and 2000s. Aging water heaters, air conditioning units losing gas, electrical panels tripping when the washing machine and oven are on together. Service in English when the technician allows.

Materials and brands

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 distance themselves from saturated coastal urbanisations. This intermediate position has a specific technical consequence. The local supply of professionals is limited, self-employed workers here do not 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 guarantees. 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 the climate of Northern Europe, with lots 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 opt 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 Hostafrancs usually ranges between €44 and €588. The final figure depends on the condition of the property, materials, and labour time. We always provide a fixed quote before starting. Call us, message us on WhatsApp, or request your quote online — we'll respond in less than 10 minutes during business hours. We adjust the frequency to the reality of the garden and the season. In spring, from March to June, growth is explosive, and a weekly or bi-weekly visit is advisable. In mid-summer, the lawn slows down 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 getting out of hand.

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, this can be extended 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 the green waste?
Yes, the removal and transport of green waste to a recycling point 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 am not in Spain?
Yes, it's one of our most common services. We work with remote owners, providing notifications before and after each visit, and photos of the result 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 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 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 preliminary 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.
