Central Costa del Sol (Mijas – Málaga)

Gardener in Fuengirola

In Fuengirola we look after balconies, terraces and communal gardens, as well as villa gardens on the hills.

Fuengirola is a compact, lively seaside town with a long promenade and Sohail castle at its western end. It has a large Scandinavian and British community, and most people live in apartments and townhouses with balconies, terraces and communal gardens. On the hills, Torreblanca, Carvajal and Los Pacos have villas with private gardens.

Here, the most requested help is terrace and balcony plant care and holiday watering, so pots and planters stay healthy while owners are away. We also help villa owners with hedge trimming, palm pruning and garden maintenance.

Many apartment blocks in Los Boliches and the centre share a communal garden with lawns, hedges and a pool. For communities of owners, we offer regular maintenance so the shared areas stay neat all year. Up in Torreblanca, Carvajal and Los Pacos, gardens are larger and often sloping, and they need pruning, clearing and a working irrigation system.

Gardening in Fuengirola: looking after plants in pots

Plants in pots have a hard life in summer. They dry out much faster than plants in the ground, and the heat from walls and tiles on a terrace adds to the stress. A simple drip system with a timer, the right pot size and a good potting mix make a big difference.

  • Move pots into light shade in July and August if you can.
  • Use a good-quality potting mix that holds moisture well.
  • Repot plants every two or three years, in spring.
  • Fit a small drip kit with a timer if you leave your terrace for weeks at a time.
