Gardener in Benahavís
In the hills between Marbella and Estepona, we care for large estate gardens, golf villas and mountain plots in Benahavís.
Benahavís is an inland municipality between Marbella and Estepona. Its small white village is known for its many restaurants and for the Guadalmina river gorge close by. Around it are some of the most exclusive estates on the coast, such as La Zagaleta, El Madroñal and Monte Mayor, and golf resorts including Los Arqueros, Los Flamingos and La Quinta.
Gardens in Benahavís are often large and set on mountain slopes. They mix planted beds, lawns and pools with native vegetation such as cork oaks, pines and wild olives. Big irrigation systems, long hedges and many trees mean these gardens need regular, well-planned work.
Fire-prevention clearance is especially important here, as many properties border woodland. We clear scrub and dry grass, prune trees and keep firebreaks tidy. We also help with irrigation, palm and tree pruning, and year-round garden maintenance for owners who are often abroad.

Gardening in Benahavís: mountain gardens and fire safety
Benahavís can be a little cooler at night than the coast, but summers are hot and very dry. On steep plots, bare soil washes away easily in heavy rain, and native trees need space and light to stay healthy.
Wild boar sometimes come down from the hills and dig up lawns and beds, especially when the ground is dry.
- Clear dry undergrowth and keep a strip around the house free of scrub before summer.
- Check fences and gates regularly to keep wild boar out of the garden.
- Treat native cork oaks and pines with care; major work on them may need permission.
- Divide large irrigation systems into zones and test each one in spring.
