Gardener in Manilva
From the hilltop village among the vineyards down to the coast at Sabinillas and Duquesa, we take care of gardens across the whole of Manilva.
Manilva is the westernmost municipality of the Costa del Sol in Málaga province. The old village, Manilva pueblo, sits on a hill surrounded by vineyards where Moscatel grapes are grown, and the grape harvest is still celebrated each year with the vendimia festival. Down by the sea are San Luis de Sabinillas, Castillo de la Duquesa and the marina at Puerto de la Duquesa.
Homes range from village houses with a patio and a few fruit trees to modern urbanisations with communal gardens and villas looking out to Gibraltar and, on a clear day, Africa. In places like Martagina and on the hills above the coast, plots are often larger and sloping, with terraces, hedges and plenty of sun. Regular garden maintenance, hedge trimming and tree pruning keep these gardens looking cared for.
Many homes in Manilva are second homes. If you only spend part of the year here, we can water your plants, check your irrigation and keep the garden tidy so it is ready when you arrive. For new owners, we also help with garden clearance or a simple garden design that suits the climate.

Gardening in Manilva: climate and tips
Manilva has a mild climate with warm, dry summers and short, gentle winters, but it is one of the windier parts of the coast. Gardens on open hillsides catch both the Levante from the east and the Poniente from the west. Inland the soil is often heavier and stonier than by the beach, so good drainage and well-prepared planting holes matter.
- Plant windbreak hedges such as pittosporum or oleander to shelter more delicate plants.
- Plan hard pruning of trees and hedges for winter, when growth slows down.
- Water deeply but less often in summer, ideally early in the morning.
- Clear dry grass and scrub on larger plots before the hot season to reduce fire risk.

Can you install or repair an irrigation system in Manilva?
