Gardener in Puerto de la Duquesa
Around the marina and up on the golf course hill, we keep holiday homes and communal gardens in good shape while their owners are away.
Puerto de la Duquesa is the marina of Manilva, with its boats and waterfront restaurants, and the historic Castillo de la Duquesa, an 18th-century fort, is just along the coast. Up the hill lies Duquesa Golf, surrounded by villas and townhouses. Nearby urbanisations such as Hacienda Guadalupe, Princesa Kristina and Los Hidalgos have pools, terraces and shared green spaces.
Many properties here belong to owners from the UK, Scandinavia, Germany and elsewhere who are away for months at a time. A garden left alone in the Spanish summer can suffer quickly, so holiday plant watering and regular garden maintenance are what Duquesa owners need most. We water, sweep, deadhead and trim, and let you know if something needs your attention.
Golf-side villas often have lawns, palm trees and hedges along the boundary. These need seasonal lawn care, palm pruning and careful hedge trimming so the views stay open. If your irrigation timer is old or a dripper keeps failing, we can repair or update the system so the garden copes well even when nobody is at home.

Gardening in Duquesa: caring for a garden from a distance
Duquesa sits right on the coast, so wind and salt are part of daily life for plants. Terraces that face the sea dry out quickly, especially when the Levante blows. On the golf hill there is more shelter, but the sun is strong and slopes lose water fast.
For owners who are often away, the key is a reliable watering plan and someone to check it. A working drip system plus regular visits will keep most gardens healthy right through the summer.
- Test your irrigation timer and change its batteries before you leave for a long trip.
- Group pots together in light shade over the summer to save water.
- Choose salt-tolerant shrubs for sea-facing terraces.
- Have palms checked once a year for dead fronds and red palm weevil.
