Visits the gardens, draws the proposals and prepares the written quotes.
Since 2012
We design, plant and look after gardens all year round, season by season.

The garden year


Jardines del Arrayán is a small gardening and landscaping business for homes, courtyards and small residential buildings. We design new gardens, plant, install irrigation and come back every season to prune, mow and look after what has been planted.
Every job starts with a visit: we look at the light, the soil and how you use the garden, and suggest what to do now and what to leave for the next season. We explain each step before we begin.
01We visit the space, draw a proposal with areas, paths and plants, and adjust it with you before we touch the soil.
02Regular visits to water, tidy, feed and watch over the plants; we agree the frequency and the tasks of each season with you.
03Mowing, edging, aerating and over-seeding to keep the lawn dense; we adjust the cutting height to the time of year.
04Pruning shrubs, small trees and hedges, and shaping topiary; we choose the time according to each plant.
05We design and install sprinkler and drip irrigation by zones and programme it for each season.
06We choose plants that suit the light and soil of your garden and plant them at the right time.
07Collecting leaves, tidying beds and getting the garden ready for winter.
08Gravel or stone paths, small walls, steps and rockeries with low-water plants.
A guide calendar for a temperate northern-hemisphere climate. The real timing depends on the plant and your area: we confirm it once we see your case.

We look at the light, the soil and how you use the space. If we cannot come, photos and a few measurements are enough.
We send you a sketch with areas and plants and a written quote. We agree the timing with you.
We prepare the soil, plant at the right time and build paths, irrigation and edges.
If you wish, we come back each season with the tasks that are due: watering, pruning, feeding, tidying.
Tell us what you want to change or look after and we will work out the next step together.

Use the contact form: it prepares a message for WhatsApp or e-mail. Tell us what you want to do in your garden and, if you can, add photos.
For a design or a build we usually see the garden; for pruning or mowing a few photos are sometimes enough. We tell you in each case.
No: every garden is different and the quote is prepared after we know the case.
