Gardening Services in Algés
Algés is a tight, built-up strip beside the river, so private gardens are not the norm here and we would rather say that than dress it up. The work divides fairly clearly. Miraflores was built with communal green space, so there are lawns, shrub beds and irrigation belonging to condominiums. Cruz Quebrada and Dafundo still have houses with gardens, some of them sizeable. In Algés centro and up the hill at Alto de Algés it is mostly older buildings with a small back yard, a planted strip by the entrance or containers on a terrace. We prune, mow what grass there is, service irrigation, plant and transplant, and clear neglected areas.

About our service in Algés
The river frontage matters more than the map suggests. Air coming off the Tejo carries enough salt and enough wind to mark foliage on exposed terraces and along the front of buildings, particularly in winter storms, and plants that would be untroubled a kilometre inland look tired here by February. Choosing planting that tolerates it is a one-off decision that saves repeated replacement, and on a windy terrace, grouping and sheltering containers does more than any feeding programme. Up at Alto de Algés the slope adds run-off, so the top of a plot dries first and the lowest bed stays damp, and the two need different treatment. In the condominium areas the pattern is familiar. Communal grass does best on a regular cycle through spring and autumn, when it grows fastest, and needs almost nothing in the driest weeks, so a calendar makes more sense than an unvarying frequency. Beds along the parking are often full of shrubs that have been trimmed to the same profile for twenty years and are now bare inside; where that is the case we set out what replanting would involve and let the assembly decide instead of charging to tidy something that will not come back. Irrigation is usually salvageable: heads knocked out of arc, limescale in the nozzles, one zone that has quietly stopped working, and a programme still running short evening cycles that keep roots at the surface. Longer runs at wider intervals early in the morning are better for the plants and for a summer when water use is restricted, and those rules can vary by município. Small yards behind the older buildings usually come down to one tree, thin soil and not much light. Pruning that tree at the right point in the year transforms the space. Before any removal we identify the species, since cork oak and holm oak are legally protected in Portugal and olives fall under their own rules, and authorisation may be needed, so it is not something to agree on the spot. Green waste is bagged, carried out and taken to a licensed disposal point. Ground that has gone entirely to scrub is clearance work rather than gardening.

Frequently Asked Questions
Questions from Algés residents and condominiums:
Plants on my terrace look scorched every winter. Why?
Wind and salt off the river rather than cold. The leaf edges brown and growth stalls. Tougher species, some shelter and grouping the pots together make far more difference than extra feed or water.
Can a condominium garden be maintained without a full contract?
Yes, though a schedule usually works out better. We can quote a one-off recovery visit and then, if the assembly prefers, a calendar of visits with a written scope and a note left after each one.
How do we know if the irrigation is worth repairing?
We test it zone by zone during the visit: pressure, coverage, whether every valve opens and closes, and how the programme is set. Most systems here need alignment and cleaning rather than replacement.
