Plant watering while you are on holiday or away

Enjoy your time away without worrying about your plants. We water, check and tidy your home's plants and garden on the Costa del Sol, and send you photos after every visit.

For short trips and whole seasons

Many owners on the Costa del Sol spend the summer or the winter in another country. Others just go away for a week or two. In the summer heat, pots and indoor plants can dry out in a few days.

We visit your home on a schedule you choose and look after your plants until you return. It works for a short trip or for several months.

What we do on each visit

Each visit is short and practical. We do what is needed to keep everything alive and looking cared for.

  • Watering indoor plants
  • Watering terrace pots and balcony plants
  • Checking the automatic irrigation is running
  • Looking for leaks and broken drippers
  • Sweeping up fallen leaves and a quick tidy
  • WhatsApp message with photos after the visit

How often do plants need watering in summer?

From June to September, pots and terrace plants usually need two or three visits a week. In spring, autumn and winter, one visit a week is often enough.

We agree the schedule with you before you leave and adjust it if there is a heatwave. If your garden has automatic irrigation, we check it is working, because a fault can do a lot of damage while nobody is there.

Keys, access and peace of mind

Before you travel, we agree how we will get into your home. That may be a key you leave with us, a key box or a neighbour. We also agree which rooms and plants we look after.

Just send us a WhatsApp message or fill in the form with your dates. We send you a free quote with no obligation. Whether you live in Sabinillas, Duquesa, Estepona or Marbella, you will get photos after each visit so you can see that all is well.
