Land clearing in Volos and Pelion for overgrown plots, village land and fields: we cut back dry grass and brush before the fire season and take every bit of debris away.
Land clearing in Volos and Pelion is about more than appearances. Under Greek fire-safety rules, owners of plots and fields inside or near settlements must clear dry grass, branches and other flammable material before the fire season starts on 1 May, and keep the land clear until 31 October. The clearance declaration is filed on the government platform akatharista.apps.gov.gr, and owners who do not comply can be fined.
We cut the vegetation with brush cutters and strimmers, remove weeds, dry grass and fallen branches, and load up all the green waste so nothing is left behind to dry out on the ground. You receive before and after photos of the plot, useful for your own records and when you file your declaration.

The best time is March and April, while the grass is still green and easy to cut. From mid-April demand rises sharply as everyone tries to finish before 1 May, so book early – February or March gives you the widest choice of dates. In the mountain villages of Pelion growth starts a little later, but the fire season begins on the same date everywhere.
Tree pruning in Volos and Pelion for gardens, courtyards and pavements: we thin crowns, shape hedges and conifers, and cut back branches that reach roofs, power lines or the street.
Good tree pruning in Volos keeps trees healthy and your property safe. Overgrown trees drop branches on roofs and cars, rub against power lines, block light from your windows and spill over the pavement, to the annoyance of neighbours and passers-by. Careful pruning solves the problem without butchering the tree.
We prune ornamental, shade and fruit trees, shrubs, climbers over gates and entrances, and hedges of every size. Conifers and formal hedges are shaped into a tidy, compact form that stays neat for longer. Where a crown is too dense, we thin it so light and air can pass through and the tree catches less wind.

The main pruning season runs from November to February, while deciduous trees and shrubs are dormant. Cuts heal well, and with the leaves off we can see the structure of the tree clearly. This is the time for bigger jobs such as crown thinning, reducing tall trees and renewing old, leggy hedges.
Lawn mowing in Volos and garden maintenance in Pelion, on a regular schedule or as a one-off: we mow, feed, overseed and aerate so your lawn stays thick and green.
A good lawn in Volos needs more than an occasional cut. Long, dry summers, compacted soil and sudden autumn downpours all take their toll, and a lawn that is mown too short or fed at the wrong time soon turns patchy and yellow. Regular lawn mowing at the right height, with feeding and overseeding at the right moments, makes all the difference.
As your gardener in Volos and Pelion, we can visit on a regular schedule through the growing season or come for a one-off tidy-up. Alongside the lawn we look after the rest of the garden – edges, beds, shrubs, weeds and fallen leaves – so the whole space looks cared for.

The main lawn care season runs from March to October. In spring the grass grows strongly and responds best to feeding, overseeding and frequent mowing; in September and October, just after the first rains have softened the soil, it is the best time for aeration and overseeding.
Firebreak clearing in Pelion and around Volos: we create a zone of cleared, low vegetation around your house or plot and keep it that way all summer, to help protect your home from wildfire.
Many houses in Pelion sit right at the edge of olive groves, pine forest and scrub. Firebreak clearing creates defensible space: a strip of land around the building where flammable material is cut back and removed, so a fire moving through dry vegetation has less to feed on as it approaches. It is one of the most practical forms of wildfire protection for homes in Greece.
We cut back dry grass and scrub, remove fallen leaves, pine needles and dead wood, lift low branches off the ground and clear vegetation away from walls, decks, fences and fuel or gas tanks. The aim is a clean break around the house and along the plot boundary, with your trees and garden kept, but spaced out and tidy.

Your firebreak should be in place by the start of the fire season on 1 May, which makes April and May our busiest months. Booking in March gives you the widest choice of dates, and the work is easier while the grass is still green.
Olive tree pruning in Pelion and complete olive grove maintenance around Volos: pruning, feeding, protective spraying and clearing, so your trees stay healthy and productive.
Olive tree pruning in Pelion shapes the harvest for years to come. A well-pruned tree lets light into the centre of the crown, bears fruit on branches you can reach and is far easier to harvest. A neglected one grows tall and dense, crops less evenly and suffers more from pests and disease.
We look after olive groves of every size, from a few trees beside a holiday home to terraced groves on the slopes of Pelion. The work covers pruning, feeding, olive tree spraying to protect against pests such as the olive fruit fly, and clearing grass and scrub around the trunks, which keeps the grove tidy and lowers the fire risk.

Olive trees are pruned after the harvest, once the fruit is off – mainly in February and March. Lower groves can be started in January, while in the higher villages of Pelion, where the harvest finishes later, pruning often continues into April. Feeding goes in from late winter into spring, so the trees have what they need for flowering in April and May.
Olive harvest in Pelion and olive picking around Volos with modern harvesting rakes and nets: we pick your olives carefully and gather them ready for you to take to the mill.
The olive harvest in Pelion is demanding, time-sensitive work: the fruit has to come off at the right moment, without damaging the shoots that will carry next year’s crop. Our olive picking service in Volos and Pelion uses modern harvesting rakes that shake the olives loose quickly and gently, so the job takes less time and the trees are spared heavy beating.
We lay nets under the trees, pick the olives and gather them from the nets, leaving them ready for you to take to the mill. It works just as well for a few trees in a village garden as for a terraced grove on a hillside.

In Magnesia the harvest usually runs from November to January, depending on the variety and the altitude. Groves near the coast and around Volos tend to be ready first, while the mountain villages of Pelion pick later, often into December and January.
Holiday home maintenance in Pelion for owners who do not live here all year: we look after the garden and outdoor areas of your house, villa or Airbnb on a schedule and send you photos after every visit.
A holiday home in Pelion is a joy – until you are back home in another country, wondering what state the garden is in. Grass grows waist-high in spring, winter storms bring down branches, leaves pile up on paths and terraces, and a plot left untouched all summer can become a fire risk. Our holiday home maintenance service means someone local keeps it in order for you.
We agree a schedule of visits that suits your property and the way you use it – more often in spring and summer, less in winter. Visits can include villa garden care, mowing and pruning, clearing outdoor areas, washing terraces and courtyards, and small repairs, so the house is ready whenever you or your guests arrive.

Most owners want the property ready for spring and summer, so April and May are our busiest months: the garden is cut back, the plot cleared before the fire season starts on 1 May and the terraces washed before the first guests – or you – arrive. Book in March for the best choice of dates.
Pressure washing in Volos and Pelion for courtyards, terraces and paving, as well as the communal areas of apartment buildings and business premises.
Pressure washing in Volos brings tired outdoor surfaces back to life. Stone and concrete paving collects dirt, moss, leaf stains and the grime of a whole winter, and a broom and a hose rarely shift it. A pressure washer lifts the dirt out of the surface and the joints, and the courtyard or terrace looks fresh again.
We clean courtyards, terraces, steps and paved paths at private homes, the entrances and outdoor communal areas of apartment buildings, and the outdoor spaces of shops, cafés and other business premises. For a holiday home, terrace cleaning before the season makes a big difference to the first impression.

Spring is the most popular time: in April and May, courtyards and terraces are cleaned of winter dirt ahead of the summer and the first guests. Book from March if you want the work done before Easter or the start of the rental season.

If your plot is inside or near a settlement, yes. Greek fire-safety rules require owners to clear flammable vegetation before 1 May and keep the land clear until 31 October, and non-compliance can lead to fines.
Most deciduous trees are best pruned between November and February, while they are dormant. Hedges and conifers get lighter trims in late spring and early autumn.

It depends on the slope, the type of vegetation and the space available. We assess the property on site and suggest a practical zone for it.
After the harvest, usually in February and March. In the higher villages of Pelion, where picking finishes later, pruning can continue into April.
