Victor

Lisbon, Oct 2025

I found OpayGarden on Instagram and needed my terrace redone with a transverse coating, plus removing the old tile. Pauline was very available - she came quickly to see the site, we set an agenda, she advised me on the type of coating with mood boards, even suggested pots she brings from Morocco to dress the terrace, and everything was cleaned after. The work was done very well from A to Z and she kept checking in afterward, communication was perfect; there were tiny delays here and there but nothing that bothered me. Overall I’m very satisfied and the price felt fair for what was done.

Claire was absolutely excellent. She listened to my wishes, made good suggestions, was very responsive, and her team has excellent customer service. She did a complete garden renewal for us with lots of soil and plants and other bits; we first talked in June, started in January, and the whole job took about a week. Costs were clear from the start with a paid concept phase and exact quotes, and when something extra came up she told me first so I could decide - it ended up more than I thought but felt fair. I would happily use her again.

Lisbon, Jun 2026

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 landscaping in Lisbon.

Are there English-speaking landscaping 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 landscaping 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 landscaping 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 landscaping in Portuguese?
In Portuguese, landscaping are usually called paisagismo. 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 landscaping 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.
