I've been using Mario from Karvalhu's Gardens for over two years now, and he's been fantastic. He takes care of our garden once a week, dedicating 2-3 hours for bigger jobs like cutting trails or about an hour for regular maintenance, always on Fridays. Mario is extremely reliable; whenever I need something done, he's right there to help. His team is also great—nice and tidy in their work. Having a decent-sized garden requires dependable service, and Mario certainly delivers that!

After a decade of searching for reliable garden maintenance, I finally struck gold with João Peixoto's services. Every week for four hours, João and his team take care of my garden. While João himself is extremely knowledgeable and skilled in gardening, his team members could benefit from a bit more training. Nevertheless, they're still the best I've worked with—far surpassing any big company I've previously hired. What impresses me most is their proactive approach; they handle end-of-year trimming to help plants recover, promptly clear storm-fallen trees without needing reminders, and even swiftly fixed a leakage issue in my garden without being asked. It's clear that João cares about his work and clients alike—I'm thankful to have them handling my garden.

I hired Valentina from Studio Caete to create a garden in my apartment about three to four years ago. It was a landscaping project, and she did such an amazing job that I've had her come back for maintenance at least once every year since then. Valentina was really helpful in selecting the right plants that would thrive in my space. I've been so pleased with her work that I recommended her services to two of my friends in Lisbon.

I've been using Jose's services for over a year now, and I couldn't be happier. They show up every Thursday like clockwork to take care of my garden and pool. What I appreciate most is their reliability; they've never missed a week and are always on time. If there's ever an issue, Jose is quick to respond and comes by the next day to fix it without fail. Working with them has been truly pleasant and hassle-free!

Freddy from Jardins Serenos did a great job with my garden. He took care of it by planting suitable greenery on my balconies, laying down natural grass, and even planting a lemon tree. The plants were healthy and fresh after his service. Freddy followed the architect's plans I provided closely without much deviation but was proactive in setting up a solar irrigation system for the balconies which was a smart addition. After his work, everything was tidy and clean – no mess left behind at all. He listened to what I wanted and delivered exactly that. Highly recommend if you want someone reliable who sticks to the plan!

I've been using Jose's services for the past two and a half years for our garden and pool maintenance, on a glowing recommendation from my neighbor, who's been a client of his for over 37 years. His team of four is incredibly efficient—they swoop in weekly, get the job done in about an hour, and are out before you know it, without ever missing an appointment. The plants are thriving under their care. Recently, when we had a snag with our pool pump involving some electrical issues, Jose didn't just fix the problem but also brought in an electrician to sort it out properly. Plus, he was really accommodating when I needed some trees trimmed back to set up a trampoline for my kids. All in all, reliable and highly recommended!

Why we created Locallista?
As expats, we understand how overwhelming it can be to settle into a new city, where even simple tasks become difficult without a network, complicated by language barriers and cultural differences. That’s why we created Locallista — a closed platform where expats connect with trusted service providers recommended by the community, ensuring clear communication in English or their native languages, making life easier.
