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.

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 - 02/18/08 10:39

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.

It is good you are not an apartment dweller sort of person. Could I say you are more in touch with nature? Getting a gardener would not be hard for you because there are a host of them out there willing to get a job and get well paid so settle on a good pay. Perhaps you could also consider doing this on a monthly basis? The weather there seems quite user friendly, isn't it?

"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."

Neighbours of mine migrate to Switzerland each April and return here in October. During their absence they get the local branch of Banco Santander to pay their gardener and cleaner on a fortnightly basis.
