Garden Care

A Cypriot garden works hard. From May to October it bakes under strong sun with almost no rain, and then the first winter storms arrive and everything from couch grass to wild oats shoots up in a matter of weeks. Keeping on top of that rhythm takes time, the right tools and a good eye for what each plant actually needs, which is exactly why so many homeowners, landlords and holiday-home owners bring in a gardener.

Through FixNow you can find local gardeners for a single seasonal clean-up or for ongoing care on a weekly, fortnightly or monthly basis. Describe your outdoor space, add a few photos, and professionals who cover your area will send you offers to compare.

What garden care can cover

• Lawn care: mowing, edging, feeding and patching tired or scorched areas of grass.
• Pruning and trimming: hedges, shrubs, bougainvillea, citrus and olive trees shaped at the right time of year.
• Weed control: clearing beds, gravel areas, paving joints and plots that have run wild after the rains.
• Planting: seasonal flowers, drought-tolerant shrubs and replacement plants placed with sun and soil in mind.
• Irrigation checks: looking over drip lines, timers and emitters so water reaches the roots rather than the path.
• Green waste removal: bagging and taking away cuttings, leaves and dead growth if you agree it in the offer.

Seasonal care that suits the island

Good garden care in Cyprus follows the climate. Autumn is the time for planting, because roots establish before the heat returns. Late winter suits most pruning and is the moment to tackle weeds before they set seed. Spring is for feeding, mulching and checking that the irrigation system has survived the winter. In summer the focus shifts to watering early in the morning, keeping lawns slightly longer so they shade their own roots, and avoiding heavy pruning that exposes plants to scorching sun.

If you rent out a villa near Paphos or Ayia Napa, a tidy garden makes a real difference to guest reviews. Many owners arrange a visit between bookings so the terrace and pool area always look cared for.

What shapes the price of garden care

• Size and layout: the area of lawn, the number of beds and how easy the garden is to reach.
• Condition: a neglected plot needs far more work on the first visit than a maintained one.
• Frequency: regular visits are usually planned differently from one-off clearances.
• Waste: whether cuttings are composted on site or taken away.
• Tall trees: large palms or trees needing work at height may call for a specialist with suitable equipment.
