Ivan is amazing. He repotted all my plants, fertilized them, cleaned them, treated the ones that were struggling, and gave me clear advice on how to care for them going forward. Careful, knowledgeable and genuinely kind to plants. Honestly the best gardener I've ever worked with. Highly recommend!

Review of Shyam, Sep 2026
Shyam is still doing things at my home and at the house next door, including fixing the roof and doing the rest of the things that came up. He was working this week and is still finishing things, and it has all been good. He knows how to be and knows how to work, and I even recommended him for the house next door. The price felt fair, even if something outside the budget came up, which is normal.

I worked with Olena on landscape design and planting, including a plant climbing system on our wall. She designed the wall system and the planting, coordinated with the handyman for the first placements, and the communication was good - she replies fast, amended an invoice quickly, and brought her daughter to translate at important moments. Everything happened according to the schedule she set, and it looks beautiful even though the plants are still growing. The price felt fair, and we cut some costs by buying the containers and the wall system ourselves.

Frequently Asked Questions
What expats want to know before hiring gardeners in Lisbon.
Are there English-speaking gardeners in Lisbon?
Yes, and more do as the expat community grows. The hard part is knowing who is reliable before you book, so every one we list is reviewed by other expats who have actually used them.
What should I check before hiring gardeners in Lisbon?
Read recent reviews, be clear about exactly what you need, and agree the scope and an estimate in writing before any work starts. For anything regulated, check they hold the right credentials for the job.
What is the most important thing to know before booking?
Be clear about what you want and get the price and scope agreed up front, so there are no surprises. Reading other expats' reviews is the quickest way to find someone who does the job well and communicates clearly.
What should I avoid when hiring gardeners in Lisbon?
Avoid paying the full amount up front (a deposit can be fair), anyone who will not give a clear quote, and unusually cheap prices that get padded with extras later.
How do I explain what I need if my Portuguese is limited?
A photo, a short video or a written list does most of the talking, and the professionals we list are used to international clients. Booking an English-speaking one takes the stress out of it entirely.
How do you say gardeners in Portuguese?
In Portuguese, gardeners are usually called jardineiros. That is the word to search for or to ask a neighbour, though many professionals here are used to the English term too.
How do I find gardeners I can trust in Lisbon?
Check the reviews and any credentials before you book. On Locallista the reviews are phone-verified and the ranking is based on real expat experience, not who paid the most.
