Maintenance from €45/visit
What does professional garden maintenance include?
Mowing and edging, seasonal pruning, irrigation checks, fertilising and preventive plant-health treatments, with an annual calendar tailored to each garden.
With water restrictions increasingly common in Catalonia, smart irrigation with moisture sensors and low-water Mediterranean species are the two upgrades we recommend most: less water, less maintenance and a garden that copes well with summer.
Natural vs. artificial lawn: which suits your garden?
Quick answer: Natural is cooler and nicer underfoot but needs water and mowing; artificial pays for itself in 4-6 years in small gardens and second homes.
| Criterion | Natural | Artificial |
|---|---|---|
| Initial cost | €3 – 6/m² (seed/turf) | €20 – 35/m² fitted |
| Annual maintenance | High (water, mowing, feed) | Minimal (brushing) |
| When to choose it | Daily use, humid climate | Second home, water restrictions |
On urban terraces and weekend homes, quality artificial turf (40+ mm) delivers the most satisfaction per euro.
