Gardener in Pelion
We look after the gardens, olive groves and plots of holiday homes all over Pelion — including while you are in Athens or abroad.
Many houses in Pelion open only a few weeks a year. Meanwhile, nature keeps going: ferns, brambles and self-seeded trees take over the terraces, branches rest on the roof and the grass grows knee-high. We take care of the garden and the land so the house is ready when you arrive and stays safe while you are away.
Pelion has its own challenges: steep slopes, dry-stone walls, narrow cobbled paths with no vehicle access, dense growth, and olive, chestnut and fruit trees that need regular pruning. We work with modern equipment, take care around terraces and walls, and remove all the cuttings.
If you are not in the area, we keep in touch by Viber, WhatsApp or email: you send photos or arrange access for a site visit, you receive a written quote with no obligation and, once the work is done, before and after photos.

Terraces and steep plots
Many plots are terraced, with dry-stone walls and tight access. We cut back the growth carefully around the stonework without damaging it, and carry the cuttings out to wherever they can be loaded.
The mountain villages run later
In Portaria, Makrinitsa or Hania, spring arrives later than in the coastal villages. We time pruning, mowing and clearing to the altitude, so each job is done at the right moment.
Greenery close to the house
Houses surrounded by dense vegetation need a clear zone around them before summer. We remove dry grass, brambles and low branches, thin out shrubs near the walls and keep branches well away from the roof.
What we’re asked for most in Pelion
The most common request is holiday home maintenance: clearing the plot, mowing and pruning, with visits before and during the season. Olive grove care follows — pruning, spraying and the autumn harvest — along with firebreaks around houses set among trees and scrub, where dry summer vegetation is a real risk.

Frequently asked questions
Do you work in the mountain villages too?
Yes. We work from Portaria and Makrinitsa up to Hania and over to Zagora and Tsagarada, as well as in the villages of South Pelion. If your village is not on the list, give us a call.
I live abroad — can you look after my Pelion house?
Yes. You send us photos or we arrange a site visit with someone who has a key, we agree the work in writing, and after every visit you receive before and after photos by Viber, WhatsApp or email.
Can you get the house ready before we arrive, or before Airbnb guests?
Yes. Tell us when the house opens and we will have the plot cleared, the grass cut, the pruning done and, if needed, the terraces and patios pressure-washed beforehand. For holiday rentals we can also agree regular visits during the season.
Do you prune and spray olive trees in Pelion?
Yes. We prune, spray and clear the ground in olive groves, and we also take on the harvest in autumn. Around holiday homes we often combine olive care with garden maintenance.
