List your businessAbout gardeners and landscapers in Malta
Gardeners in Malta keep existing gardens in shape: cutting hedges, pruning, weeding, feeding plants, mowing where there is grass and clearing green waste. Landscapers design and build: new layouts, paving and gravel, raised beds, planters on roof terraces, artificial grass and drip irrigation. Some do both, and many look after villa gardens, holiday homes and the shared areas of apartment blocks.
Water is the big theme here. Long dry summers favour native and Mediterranean plants, mulch and drip irrigation on a timer over thirsty lawns. A good landscaper will ask about sun, wind and salt before choosing plants. Autumn and early spring suit planting, so book design work ahead of those months.
The price depends on the size of the garden, how overgrown it is, how often visits happen, whether green waste is taken away, and the materials and plants for any new work. For landscaping, ask for a drawing and a priced list of plants and materials. For maintenance, agree what each visit covers.

Good to know in Malta
- Under the Trees and Woodlands Protection Regulations (S.L. 549.123), no one may fell, uproot, hard prune or otherwise damage a protected tree without prior permission from the Environment and Resources Authority. Protected trees are those listed in the regulations' schedules. Source
- The same regulations exempt some pruning of horticulturally grown trees, for example to improve their health, increase fruit or avoid likely damage to property, as long as it follows good practice. Source
Questions
How much does a gardener cost in Malta?
Regular care is usually priced by the visit or by the hour, and depends on the size of the garden, how often you book and whether green waste is taken away. Landscaping is priced per project, with plants, soil, paving and irrigation on top of the labour. Walk round the garden with the gardener, agree what each visit covers, and ask for new work to be quoted item by item.
Can I cut down or prune a tree in my garden?
Not always freely. Malta's Trees and Woodlands Protection Regulations list protected trees, and felling, uprooting or hard pruning one needs prior permission from the Environment and Resources Authority. Some pruning of garden trees, such as to improve their health or avoid damage to property, is exempt. If you are unsure about a tree, ask the authority before any work starts.
Do gardeners work in Gozo?
They do, and many Gozo gardens belong to farmhouses and holiday homes that sit empty part of the year. Ask whether the gardener can visit on a schedule while you are away, check the irrigation and send you photos. If they are based in Malta, ask how travel and the removal of green waste are charged.
What plants survive a Maltese summer?
Native and Mediterranean species usually cope best with heat, wind and little rain. Ask the landscaper what suits your spot, whether it is a sunny roof, a shaded courtyard or a seafront garden with salt in the air. Drip irrigation and mulch help the rest survive. A sensible plan groups plants by how much water they need.
