Gardener in La Zagaleta
In the private estate above Benahavís, we plan every job in advance, follow the access rules and look after very large gardens with care.
La Zagaleta is a private, gated country-club estate in the hills of Benahavís, above Marbella and Nueva Andalucía. It has two golf courses and some of the largest residences in Europe, set on very big plots with controlled access and high security.
Gardens in La Zagaleta are on a different scale. Large lawns, long hedges, palms and planted terraces sit next to native cork oaks and pines, and the irrigation systems are big and complex. Around the formal garden there is often natural land, which has to be kept clear to reduce the risk of fire.
Work here is planned in advance and follows the estate's access rules. We offer garden maintenance in La Zagaleta on a regular schedule, tree surgery and height pruning for big trees, palm pruning, irrigation work and clearing of natural land. One contact person coordinates the work and keeps you informed.

Estate gardens in La Zagaleta: big trees and fire safety
The hills above Benahavís are hot and very dry in summer. Native cork oaks and pines are part of the landscape and need careful pruning, with plenty of space and light. Dry grass and scrub at the edge of a large plot can carry fire quickly, so clearing before summer is essential.
- Clear dry grass and scrub around the house and along the boundaries in late spring.
- Have big cork oaks and pines checked and pruned by trained climbers.
- Test each irrigation zone in spring and fix leaks before the hot months.
- Plan large jobs well ahead, so access can be arranged with the estate.
- Leave lawns a little longer in summer to protect the roots from the heat.
