Why Raízes
Not just a gardening crew. A design practice that stays with your garden.
Most gardens are designed once and then left to whoever cuts the grass. With Raízes, the person who understands the design is the one who manages its care.
Managed by a landscape architect
Every garden is overseen by a qualified landscape architect, so care decisions follow the design.
Local experience
We know the western Algarve: the Atlantic wind, salt air, dry summers and the plants that thrive here.
Professional, fully insured crew
A trained, uniformed team with full work insurance. You never have to worry about who is in your garden.
Your own client portal
Project updates and photos from every maintenance visit, in one private place. Ideal if you live abroad.
