Areas we cover
How far we go, and where we don’t
We set out from Mijas and work the area we can look after properly. If your garden is too far, we tell you before taking the job on.
- Eight areas, each with its own page about that place
- No travel charge within the immediate radius
- Written quote within 24 hours
Can we get to your garden?
Tell us where it is and we’ll answer straight away, whether it’s a yes or a no.
Let’s be clear
A radius isn’t a limitation: it’s what makes the work turn out right
Almost every gardening website says it covers the whole province. It sounds better, and what it hides is where the time goes: an hour there and an hour back come out of somewhere, and they don’t come out of the gardener’s margin.
They come out of your garden. It’s the job that starts out on time in March and by July turns up at six in the evening and rushes through in an hour and a half what should have taken three. Nobody decided that: the route simply couldn’t stretch any further.
That’s why we’d rather say up front where we arrive with the whole day ahead of us, where we get to by grouping the route, and where it only makes sense to go for a single large job. Losing a job costs less than doing it badly.
Where we work
The areas, and the service each one gets
Each area has its own page, and they aren’t the same page with the place name swapped: what shapes a garden in Benalmádena isn’t what shapes one in Alhaurín, and that’s what each page explains.
Immediate radius
3 areas
Here we take on any frequency, including weekly, and an urgent job can be seen to the same day or the next. There’s no travel charge.
Mijas
Las Lagunas, Mijas Pueblo, La Cala de Mijas, Cerros del Águila, La Alquería, El Faro, Torrenueva, Mijas Golf.

Extended radius
4 areas
Regular maintenance is no problem, usually fortnightly or monthly, with the route grouped by day. An urgent job depends on how the week looks, and we tell you that up front.

One-off reach
1 area
Large one-off jobs (clearances, tree felling, renovations, garden overhauls) and maintenance only if the size makes it worthwhile. For a short visit every fortnight, we’d be doing you no favours.
And if you’re not on the list
Ask us anyway, but expect a clear answer
Your town not having a page doesn’t mean we don’t go there. It means it depends on the job, and that we’d rather look at it than give you a yes just to be polite.
A plot clearance, a tree felling or a renovation travels well: it’s a whole day in the same place and the journey gets absorbed. Two hours of maintenance every fortnight doesn’t. If it’s the second case, we’ll tell you, and if we know someone in your area who does it well, we’ll tell you that too.
Common questions
Questions about the areas we cover
My area isn’t on the list. Will you come anyway?
For a large one-off job, often yes: a plot clearance, a tree felling, a renovation or a garden overhaul justifies the journey. For regular maintenance, almost always no, and we’d rather tell you before taking it on. Call us and we’ll give you an answer straight away, without stringing you along.
Do you charge for travel?
Within the immediate radius, no. Outside it, if there is a charge, it goes in the quote as a separate item and you see it before you accept. What we don’t do is hide it in the hourly rate.
Why don’t you say you cover the whole province, like everyone else?
Because it wouldn’t be true. Maintenance only holds up if the gardener can come back at the same time every week or fortnight, and that means being close by; further up we explain what happens when that isn’t the case. What we do instead is say where we reach and for what, in the three reaches on this page.
I have gardens in two different towns. Can you look after both?
Yes, as long as both are within reach. It’s set up as a single contract with the visits spread between them, which also fits the route better and usually works out better than two separate jobs. Tell us where they are and we’ll look into it.
Tell us where your garden is
With the address and a few photos, we’ll tell you straight away whether we can look after it properly, and how often. You can call or WhatsApp us in English.
