Gardening Service

Oregon Woodsmoke from Bend, Oregon, USA -

Is it possible to hire a year-round gardener in Piriapolis?

The reason I ask, is that I like the houses that I am seeing better than the condos. I guess I am just not an apartment dweller type person.

But if you have a house that you are not living in for 8 months out of the year, it looks like no one is living there. A weekly gardening service would go along ways towards eliminating that problem.

No trackbacks.

Yes. You can hire gardners and pool maintenance service in Piriapolis.

Garden maintenance can be a little odd in Piria. Because we dont get a lot of rain in the summer and it's not likely you'll have sprinklers, gardeners usually quote you 3 visits per week.

It's going to cost you anywhere from UYU1200 to UYU1500/month.

Cant speak for everyone but I provide the lawn mower. My guy brings his own trimmer.

Oops.. change that from week to month.. :)

Comment #3 Oregon Woodsmoke from Bend, Oregon, USA -

The "week" that I change to "month", would mean that they come by 3 times per month?

I was thinking: U$1200 for 12 visits a month! Those poor guys are working for peanuts.

It sounds like having a gardener would actually be less expensive than paying gastos in a condo.

If I have a gardener for year round and I am in America for 8 months out of the year, how are arrangements made to get the gardener his money? Even if he is only giving 3 visits a month, he isn't making enough money that he can wait 8 months between paychecks.
