NEWMtnMama Posted May 19, 2023 Report Share Posted May 19, 2023 I need a gardener for about 2 hours every other week. Must have own tools because I am renting and don't know how long I'll be living here. Some English would be a big plus. I live in Riberas so maybe someone who already works here who could use a little extra work. I have used Ernesto for about 5 years but haven't seen him in a month. He really prefers bigger weekly jobs and I don't blame him. Any recommendations would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunshineydays Posted May 20, 2023 Report Share Posted May 20, 2023 There is a gardener who works the Riberas area named David. You see him walking between jobs with his tools. He does very good work and quite a few of my neighbors use him. Mostly around San Lucas /de la ribera and San Luis s.n Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEWMtnMama Posted May 27, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2023 Still haven't been able to contact David. Anyone in Riberas with a gardener who has a few hours available a few times a month? I can be pretty flexible but I do need a gardener for a few hours twice a month. TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunnyvmx Posted May 27, 2023 Report Share Posted May 27, 2023 Ernesto is coming to trim a ficus tree for me. He seems happy to do it. I just make it at his convenience and he works me in. 331 267 9364 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIA Sunnyvmex, Artsnob and Shag, maybe others*this post and others) ,have recommended Ernesto 331 267 9364. Perhaps you could contact him and quit waiting on "David" who you can't contact. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

artsnob Posted May 27, 2023 Report Share Posted May 27, 2023 He is not missing in action, you must have done something that made him avoid you, As I said before the best my gardens and trees have never looked so good... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEWMtnMama Posted May 27, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2023 After 5 years I have no idea what that could be other than having a small yard that needs very little work. You with big fancy gardens use Ernesto. I just want someone to trim the grass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunnyvmx Posted May 27, 2023 Report Share Posted May 27, 2023 I have a small yard. I mow with a push mower, edge, trim the bougainvillea, weed, spray fungicide, fertilize and the lime tree rewards me everyday with its fruit. Ernesto says he appreciates my desire to do it myself and is happy to do what I can't or would rather not do. I hope someday he's too busy for me, but until then I'm glad he comes when I call.

NEWMtnMama Posted May 27, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2023 I'm sure trimming bushes while using my walker would be fun - NOT. There must be a gardener working in Riberas. And I am not going to diss Ernesto but I have reasons to not use him. Any help would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
