Areas we cover
Torremolinos · Málaga
Torremolinos lives off tourism and second homes: the Centre and La Carihuela concentrate flats and apartments, Playamar and Montemar add urbanisations with pools, and El Pinillo is quieter and more residential. Many homes stay shut for months and open for the season or for family visits, which produces work packed into a few weeks.

The market is sharply seasonal: hours and substitutions multiply in spring and summer, and in winter the homes of permanent residents remain. It is worth agreeing in writing what happens in low season, because that is when terms change most.
What the service includes
Garden and outdoor upkeep: pruning, irrigation, lawn, pool and seasonal plant care.
Before hiring, decide what is seasonal and what is weekly: pruning, irrigation, lawn and pool are not distributed the same way in winter and summer. In Torremolinos gardens in Centro and La Carihuela usually need a fixed day plus an extra visit in spring, and that is what gets written down.
