Verified handyman network in Barcelona

We do planting in La Clota. 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, multiple 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 is always cheaper than restoring again.

How we work

Many clients spend time outside of Spain and want their garden looked after in their absence. We work with notifications before and after each visit. We send photos of the results if you request them, so you can have peace of mind from 2,000 kilometres away. For holiday rental properties, we coordinate visits between bookings so that the garden is immaculate for each new arrival of tenants. We have verified professionals available in less than 2 hours.

When to call for planting in La Clota

The typical client calls because they've had a bad previous experience with a local independent tradesperson. Poorly finished work, surprise invoices, they don't show up again for follow-up. The offering of professional services with a real guarantee in San Miguel is limited. Arriving from Torrevieja with a verified technician, a fixed quote, and a 30-day guarantee resolves that difference. 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 ageing, air conditioning units losing gas, circuit breakers tripping with the washing machine and oven on together. Service available in English when the technician permits. The most demanded service is reforms and upgrades of installations in village houses. Many central properties have installations from the 70s and 80s without serious updates. Electrical panels brought up to REBT standards with certificates, replacement of copper pipes with multilayer pipes when renovating kitchens or bathrooms, installation of air conditioning in homes previously ventilated only with shutters. The difference before and after the upgrade is radical for clients who have lived with marginal installations for decades.

Materials and brands

There isn't as much competition here as on the coast, and that's noticeable in the quality of some professionals. We work in San Miguel to 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 around ten thousand inhabitants and a mixed profile of Spanish residents and foreign owners who sought to move away from the saturated coastal urbanisations. This intermediate position has a specific technical consequence. The local offer of professionals is limited; independent tradespeople working here don't 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 guarantees. The Costa Blanca climate dictates everything done in a garden. Long, dry, and very hot summers, with little rain between May and September and sun that punishes traditional lawns. A garden designed for Northern European climates, with lots of grass and soft-leafed 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 price

The price for planting in La Clota typically ranges between 44 and 588 euros. 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 a weekly or fortnightly visit is advisable. In the height of summer, grass growth slows due to the heat, allowing us to 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. For a new property owner in San Miguel, finding the right professional can be a frustrating trial-and-error process. We work here to 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, especially Las Comunidades and Blue Lagoon where British and Irish owners are concentrated.

Frequently asked questions

How often should the garden be maintained?
In spring, when everything grows very quickly, ideally it should be 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 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 will be indicated before commencing work.
Can you look after the garden if I am not in Spain?
Yes, this is one of our most common services. We work with overseas owners, providing notifications 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 consumption garden?
In this climate, almost always. Decorative gravel, Mediterranean plants, and drip irrigation greatly 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, programme the controller seasonally, 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 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.
