Gardener in Algarrobo
From the beach at Algarrobo Costa to the village and the hills behind it, we look after terraces, communal gardens and fincas.
Algarrobo is a municipality in the Axarquía, between Torre del Mar and Torrox. The white village of Algarrobo pueblo lies a few kilometres inland, while the coast is home to Algarrobo Costa and Mezquitilla, with apartments and townhouses close to the beach.
Near the sea, most homes have terraces with pots or share a communal garden with hedges, lawns and a pool. On the hills, villas and fincas are surrounded by avocado and mango trees, typical of the Axarquía. The two kinds of garden need quite different care.
On the coast, the jobs we do most are terrace plant care, communal garden maintenance and watering while owners are away. Inland, it is more about pruning avocado and mango trees, checking the irrigation and keeping the land clear between the trees. Whatever your garden, we can agree a plan that fits it and the time you spend here.

Gardening in Algarrobo: salt air and tropical fruit
Algarrobo has a mild coastal climate, which is why tropical fruit trees grow so well here. Avocados and mangoes need regular water in summer and soil that drains well. Close to the beach, salt and wind can burn soft leaves on terraces and in communal gardens.
- Choose salt-tolerant plants for terraces that face the sea.
- Spread a layer of mulch under fruit trees to keep the roots cool.
- Prune mango and avocado trees after the harvest to keep them a manageable size.
- Check the drip lines on fruit trees before the summer heat.
- Use bigger pots on hot terraces – they dry out more slowly.
