Hi all,

I am new to the Villamartin forum, which I think is great, full of useful info.

Having had a number of holidays in the area, we have just purchased a holiday property in the Valencia urb in Villamartin and are loving it - great area and location.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a local reliable gardener - we are just after someone who is reasonably priced and would take on a very small job, just cutting front and back lawns (which are small) and trimming a bush/hedge.

The lawns have a watering system so it's really to just to stop them over growing when we are not here.

Any recommendations and contact info would be appreciated.

Many Thanks

John

Morning John

Welcome to Villamartin.

I have been an odd job man for 3 years now in the area and would be happy to give you a price for maintaining your garden, however, I do not have a lawnmower so unless you have one I can't really be of help. See my forum ad below....

Retired local resident looking for a few hours work per week.

Gardening: Weeding, pruning and cutting back and ongoing maintenance contracts.

Painting: Garden railings,ballustrades and Gates plus inside / outside of properties.

Cleaning: Sweeping and mopping of patios and outside spaces.

 A pre visit service of any of the above jobs is also offered.

Contact Pete via e mail on [email protected]  to arrange a visit.

Or call me on 602628035

Hi Pete

Thanks for the reply. I don't have a lawnmower. 

However as luck would have it the previous owners had a gardener who kept things ticking over and he turned up just after I posted to cut the grass ! So I have kept him on so hopefully I am fine for a gardener now.

I will keep your details for any future jobs though and thanks again for the reply.

John

hi john

we have a holiday home on the valencias urb also, for around the last 10 years. it is lovely there. what part (I, II, III or IV) are you?

i'm on valencias I and you can opt into the gardening upkeep within your community fees if you want your garden done on a regular basis by the resident gardeners.

Hi 

Thanks for the reply and opting in to gardening as part of the community fees sounds like a good option - I wasn't aware that we could do that. I have now paid the existing gardener to the end of September so I can decide if I want to go that route when the fees are due.

We are also in Valencia I. Although we had spent a lot of time holidaying in Villamartin we hadn't really seen the Valencia urb until we starting looking for a property and we agree it's a lovely location - we have just spent our first two week holiday in the house and had a great time.  I will send you a private message with the house number so if you are passing you'll know where we are.

Thanks again
