After the storm
We'll check your garden and put it back in order
Fallen branches, leaves and mud on terraces, blocked drains, pots and garden furniture blown over. Send a photo — we'll tell you the price and when we can come.
- A check with photos. If you're away, we walk round the garden and terraces, photograph the damage before we touch anything (useful for insurance) and tell you what's urgent.
- Branches, leaves, mud, debris. Cleared from lawns, beds, terraces, paths and steps.
- Drains. Ground-level drains and channels cleared so the next rain can run off.
- Pots and furniture. Pots, planters and garden furniture back in place, broken pots taken away, standing water emptied.
- Plants. Knocked-over plants straightened, staked or replanted; broken branches cut back within reach from the ground.
- Green waste. Taken away — from €15 per trip.
Before we arrive
- Keep off a waterlogged lawn — the soil gets compacted.
- Stay clear of hanging or cracked branches.
- Photograph the damage before anything is cleared — your insurer may ask for it.
Not for us: fallen trees on roads, houses or cables, landslides, roofs and anything at height. If something is dangerous, call 112.
We can also get the garden ready for the next storm: tie down or put away pots and furniture, cut back weak branches within reach and clear the drains.
What we do
One-off jobs or regular care every 2–4 weeks.
Planting flowers
New beds and terrace pots. We can buy the plants too.
Flower bed care
Weeding, deadheading, light pruning and feeding.
Digging and planting
Soil preparation, shrubs and small trees.
Plants in, branches out
We bring plants, soil and pots and take green waste away.
We don't do: large trees or work at height, chemical sprays, irrigation systems, fences, paving or other building work, pools.

Garden care while you're away
Many of our clients live in Madeira only part of the year. We water, check the garden and send photos on WhatsApp — and tidy everything up before you or your guests arrive.
About us
We are Aleksandr and Irina, a married couple living in Funchal. Irina looks after flowers and beds; Aleksandr does the lawns, hedges and the heavy work. We bring our own tools, come on the day we agreed and send photos of the result.
Where we work
Funchal — including Santo António, São Martinho, Monte and São Gonçalo — plus Câmara de Lobos and Caniço. Travel is included. Further away? Just ask.

Questions
Can you come after the storm if we're not on the island?
Yes. We agree how to get in, photograph the garden before and after the clean-up and send the photos on WhatsApp. You pay by MB WAY or bank transfer.
Do you remove fallen trees?
Branches and small fallen trees we can clear from the ground — yes. Large trees, or trees on a house, road or cables — no: that needs an arborist or Civil Protection (112).
Do you bring your own tools?
Yes: mower, trimmer, hedge cutter, rakes and bags. You don't need to prepare anything.
Can you buy the plants?
Yes. Tell us what you'd like or let us choose. We charge the shop price from the receipt, with no mark-up.
What if it rains?
We move the visit to the next suitable day, free of charge.
Do you take away branches and grass?
Yes, from €15 per trip, depending on the volume.
Do you use chemicals?
No. Weedkillers and pest sprays need a licence (aplicador), so we don't use them. We weed by hand.
Do you give a fatura?
Yes, a fatura-recibo for every job. Give us your NIF if you need it on the invoice.
Can you work when we're not on the island?
Yes. We agree how to get into the garden, do the job and send photos on WhatsApp. You pay by bank transfer or MB WAY.
How do I pay?
After the job: MB WAY, bank transfer or cash.
