Gardener in Jimena de la Frontera
Below the Moorish castle and in the cork oak country around it, we look after fincas, country houses and their large plots.
Jimena de la Frontera is a white village in the province of Cádiz, built below a Moorish castle. It lies inside the Los Alcornocales natural park, one of the largest cork oak forests in Europe. The municipality also includes Estación de Jimena and San Pablo de Buceite.
Many homes here are fincas and country houses with large plots, owned by Spanish and international residents, many of them British. Gardens often merge into olive groves, meadows and woodland. Big trees, long grass and older irrigation systems mean there is always something to do.
The most important job on many plots is clearing overgrown land before the summer. After a wet winter, grass and brambles can grow tall in a few weeks and then dry out completely. We clear it, prune trees and check that drip lines fed from wells and tanks are working, so your garden and your trees have water through the hot months.

Gardening in Jimena: cork oaks, olives and wells
Jimena is greener than the coast, with more rain in winter and lush growth in spring. Summers are hot and dry, and grass that was green in April can be a fire risk by June. Many properties take water from a well or a tank, so the irrigation needs regular checks.
- Clear long grass and brambles around buildings and along tracks in May.
- Remove suckers from the base of olive trees so the energy goes to the crown.
- Cork oaks are protected in the natural park – ask before any major pruning.
- Clean the filters and check the drip lines on well-fed systems before summer.
- Keep a clear strip between woodland and the house.
