Uneven or bumpy lawn — Torrevieja, Valencian Community
An uneven lawn with bumps, dips, and ridges makes mowing difficult, creates tripping hazards, and causes water to pool in low spots rather than draining evenly. Common causes include settling soil, burrowing animals, decomposing organic matter beneath the surface, poor grading during construction, and freeze-thaw cycles. Minor unevenness can be corrected with topdressing — spreading a thin layer of soil-compost mix and leveling it. Severe cases may need core aeration, regrading, or even sod replacement. A landscaper can assess whether the issue is cosmetic or indicates a deeper drainage or soil problem.
Waarom dit veel voorkomt in Torrevieja
Torrevieja's coastal gardens require salt-tolerant plant species and specialist irrigation management under the city's water-use restrictions. Palm tree maintenance — including treatment against the Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (red palm weevil) under Valencian community plant health regulations — is a distinct and regulated service. Pool maintenance is the dominant garden-services category given the area's high private pool density.
