Verified handyman network in Barcelona

We do planting in Porta. 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 grass cuts, pruning of overgrown shrubs, and removal of several trailer-loads of debris. Once the garden is restored, the most cost-effective option is to enter a regular maintenance plan. Maintaining is always cheaper than having to restore again.

How we work

Call us, message us on WhatsApp or request your quote online — we'll respond in less than 10 minutes during business hours. We have verified professionals available in less than 2 hours. Choose the service and ask for a quote. First, we perform a thorough overhaul (clearing, multiple passes of mowing, pruning and waste removal) and from there, we move into periodic maintenance to prevent it from happening again.

When to call for planting in Porta

This means we adapt the service. For a Spanish client in the city centre who needs their water heater repaired before winter, we speak Spanish and provide a quote over the phone or WhatsApp. We get straight to the point. For a French owner in El Edén who arrives in July and discovers the air conditioning isn't cooling, we coordinate in French when the technician allows, and quote with photos. We send a digital invoice upon their return. For preventative maintenance in apartments owned by non-residents, we schedule in April and May before the high season. Avoiding the June rush. The difference between planning ahead and waiting for an emergency is real; in August, technicians in the area are at their limit. Our most requested service is the replacement of old installations in houses in the centre and surrounding hamlets. Complete electrical panels updated to current REBT regulations, replacement of copper pipes with modern multilayer during kitchen or bathroom renovations, and installation of new electric water heaters where old butane heaters are no longer cost-effective to maintain.

Materials and Brands

The climate of the Costa Blanca 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-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. Between the dunes and the river, an area that mixes beach apartments with village houses. Each typology has its own technical problems.

Indicative Price

The price for planting in Porta 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 garden's needs and the season. In spring, from March to June, growth is explosive, and a weekly or fortnightly visit is advisable. In mid-summer, the lawn slows down due to the heat, and we can space visits further apart. In winter, visits every three or four weeks are usually sufficient. This flexibility keeps costs under control without the garden ever becoming unmanageable. Many of these houses have installations from the 1970s or earlier that require complete updating. We offer a free preliminary diagnosis and a detailed breakdown of the quote.

Frequently asked questions

How often should the garden be maintained?
In spring, when everything grows very quickly, ideally every one or two weeks. In summer and winter, this can be spaced out 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 starting.
Can you look after the garden if I'm not in Spain?
Yes, it's one of our most common services. We work with overseas owners, providing notices 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 our climate, almost always. Decorative gravel, Mediterranean plants and drip irrigation significantly reduce water consumption and maintenance, and they withstand summer without suffering. We offer free advice.
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 buried systems, leaks are very common and can be located with an inspection.
Is the quote free?
Yes, 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.
