Verified handyman network in Barcelona

We do planting in Mataró. 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 bushes, and removal of several trailer loads of waste. Once the garden is restored, it's most cost-effective to enter a regular maintenance plan. Maintaining is always less expensive than having to restore again.

How we work

Many clients spend seasons outside 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 rest assured from 2,000 kilometres away. For holiday rental homes, we coordinate visits between bookings so the garden is immaculate for every tenant arrival. We have verified professionals available in less than 2 hours. Choose the service and ask us for a quote. Call us, WhatsApp us, or request your quote online — we respond in less than 10 minutes during business hours.

When to call for planting in Mataró

The typical client calls because they've had a bad previous experience with a local sole trader. Poorly finished work, surprise invoice, no show for re-evaluation. The offer of professional services with a real guarantee in San Miguel is limited. Coming from Torrevieja with a verified technician, fixed quote, and 30-day guarantee closes that gap. 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 90s and 2000s villas. Aging heaters, air conditioning units losing gas, circuit breakers tripping with the washing machine and oven on together. Service in English when the technician allows. The most demanded service is reforms and updates of installations in village houses. Many central homes have installations from the 70s and 80s without serious updates. Electrical panels upgraded to REBT with certification, replacement of copper pipes with multilayer when renovating kitchens or bathrooms, installation of air conditioning in homes that previously only ventilated with shutters. The difference before and after the update is radical for clients who have lived for decades with marginal installations.

Materials and brands

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 Spanish residents and foreign owners who sought to move away from congested coastal urbanisations. This intermediate position has a specific technical consequence. The local offer of professionals is limited; the self-employed 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 guarantee. The Costa Blanca climate 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 lawn and soft-leaf plants, consumes an enormous amount of water and suffers in July and August. That's why more and more clients are opting for low-water gardens. Decorative gravel, Mediterranean plants (lavender, rosemary, oleander, cacti, and succulents), palm trees, and olive trees.

Indicative price

The price for planting in Mataró usually ranges between 44 and 588 euros. The final figure depends on the condition of the property, the materials, and the working 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 bi-weekly visit is advisable. In the middle of summer, the grass 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 overgrown. 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: a technical visit, a fixed quote, intervention with a 30-day guarantee, and a 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 you maintain the garden?
In spring, when everything grows very quickly, ideally 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 is indicated before starting.
Can you look after the garden if I am 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 garden?
In this climate, almost always. Decorative gravel, Mediterranean plants, and drip irrigation greatly 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, programme 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, 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.
