We do planting in Camí de la Serra. We visit the property, assess the work, provide 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 debris. 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 seasons outside Spain and want their garden cared for in their absence. We provide notifications before and after each visit. We send photos of the result if requested, so you can rest assured from 2,000 kilometres away. For holiday rental homes, we coordinate visits between bookings to ensure the garden is immaculate for each new arrival of tenants. Call us, message us on WhatsApp, or request your quote online — we respond in less than 10 minutes during business hours. Decorative gravel is very common here because it requires little water and low maintenance. Over time it shifts, mixes with soil, and allows weeds to grow through. We re-level and rake the gravel, replenish any missing sections, install anti-weed mesh where necessary, and treat weeds sprouting in joints and edges. We do the same for driveways, paths, and walkways to ensure the entire area looks well-maintained.

When to call for planting in Camí de la Serra

Wooden garden furniture requires oil or treatment once or twice a year to prevent drying out. Metal furniture needs rust inspection and paint touch-ups; resin furniture needs a good clean. We treat and touch up wooden fences and pergolas, adjust gates and railings that rub, and inspect balustrades. For outdoor lighting, we repair garden and porch lights, replace bulbs and fixtures. We resolve simple faults; when the underlying problem is electrical, we coordinate with an electrician from our team. For a plumber accustomed to urban apartments, a property in the lowlands is an intensive course. Pipes extending from the reservoir, branching in six directions. Pumps that automatically fill when sensors drop. Irrigation connections from the canal with their own timed schedules. There's no single installation manual that covers all cases here; each property is a unique project built over decades by farmers who knew exactly what they needed. We work with safe lifting equipment and, when necessary, with specialised personnel for high hedges, palm trees, and trees that cannot be reached from the ground.

Materials and brands

General maintenance is the basic gardening service and the most commonly contracted by villa owners on the Costa Blanca. On each visit, we mow the lawn to the appropriate height for the season, trim edges with a string trimmer, remove weeds from flowerbeds, gravel, and tile joints, and perform light maintenance pruning of shrubs and hedges to maintain their shape. We finish with leaf blowing, collection, and removal of all green waste. We leave no bags or piles: the garden is ready for use. We adjust the frequency to the reality of the garden and the season. In spring, from March to June, growth is explosive, and weekly or fortnightly visits are advisable. In mid-summer, the lawn slows due to heat, and we can space visits out. In winter, visits every three or four weeks are usually sufficient. This flexibility keeps costs under control without the garden ever becoming overgrown. Beyond weekly mowing, the garden requires seasonal work. Replanting areas burned by summer, adding flowering plants in spring, fertilising the lawn and flowerbeds, scarifying or overseeding bare patches, and promptly treating pests such as mealybugs, aphids, or the red palm weevil. We advise you on what to plant to withstand the local climate. Mediterranean species that need little water and resist strong sun.

Indicative pricing

The price for planting in Camí de la Serra typically ranges between 44 and 588 euros. The final figure depends on the property's condition, materials, and working time. We always provide a fixed quote before starting. Blowing, collection, and removal of all green waste to an authorised manager are included in the price. During a visit, we inspect paths and gravel areas, garden furniture, fences and railings, outdoor lighting, and porch elements. We provide a clear list of what needs doing now and what can wait. We work with a fixed price per job, with no surprises, and leave the exterior ready to enjoy or for tenants to occupy.
