Introduction
Welcome to nature and beautiful green space lovers! At Les Jardins de Bittor, we are committed to guiding every homeowner toward the garden of their dreams, whether it’s about impeccable lawns, delicious orchards, or carefully trimmed hedges. Drawing on our experience in the Basque Country, we present a comprehensive guide for optimal garden maintenance, taking into account the specificities of our region and our clients' expectations: efficiency, professionalism, and above all, human proximity.
Understanding the climate of the Basque Country to better maintain your garden
The oceanic climate of the Basque Country, characterized by mild winters, temperate summers, and generous rainfall, is both an asset and a challenge for garden maintenance. This weather promotes plant growth but also requires adapting interventions throughout the year. To achieve a neat result, it is advisable to follow an adapted maintenance calendar, such as the one we offer on our Basque gardener calendar.
According to Météo France, the region experiences an average of 130 rainy days per year, favoring lush vegetation but also the proliferation of mosses and diseases. This means that vigilance and regular actions are essential to keep a garden healthy and beautiful all year round.
Essential actions for a seasonal garden
Each season brings its share of essential tasks. In spring, it’s time to rejuvenate the lawn, prune shrubs, and plant the first flowers. Summer requires special attention to watering, especially during hot periods, and frequent mowing to keep the lawn impeccable. Autumn is the ideal time to prepare the ground for winter, collect fallen leaves, and enrich the soil with organic matter. Finally, winter allows for specific pruning, protecting fragile plants, and planning for upcoming developments.

Maintaining your garden in an ecological and sustainable way
At Les Jardins de Bittor, ecology is not a passing trend but a deep conviction. Our practices prioritize respect for natural cycles, the use of local organic amendments, and a reasoned management of water. For example, we recommend mulching, which limits evaporation, reduces weeding, and nourishes the soil. For regular maintenance, our lawn mowing services integrate responsible green waste management, reused as compost or mulch.
The Ministry of Ecological Transition emphasizes the importance of natural gardening practices to preserve local biodiversity. By adopting these actions, you not only promote the balance of your garden but also that of the entire surrounding ecosystem.
Creating tailored orchards and vegetable gardens
A well-thought-out orchard or a well-structured vegetable garden brings beauty, deliciousness, and satisfaction throughout the seasons. Thanks to our expertise in orchard creation and vegetable garden creation, we help you choose the best local varieties suited to the Basque climate and your desires, while ensuring crop rotation and soil health.
