Garden care in Taghazout: the dry-season programme
A Taghazout garden holds through the dry season with three routine gestures: watering that compensates for sandy soil, mowing high at 6–8 cm and a weekly hedge check. Regular upkeep runs 300–700 MAD per visit according to our /prix/jardinage/ sheet (source: our price grid consolidated 28/10/2026), a range to validate with a real quote depending on surface and soil.

What the dry season asks of the garden
The Agadir–Taghazout coast sits on light soil that holds little water: morning humidity does not carry a garden through summer. Mowing should follow the one-third rule — never cut more than a third of the blade — and keep 6–8 cm of height in the dry season, the height that shields the root zone from water stress. Plan for 10 to 20 mowings over the year.
Drip irrigation reaches the root zone without heavy evaporation. A programme of 2–3 waterings a week in dry season is commonly proposed; the exact runtimes depend on your soil and exposure and are validated on site.
Bougainvillea, hedges and palms
Hedges get cut 2 to 3 times a year, never during nesting season (in Morocco, mid-March to mid-August), so nesting birds are not disturbed mid-work. Bougainvillea, which thrives in Atlantic sun, is pruned after flowering. Palms are a separate job: frond cleaning before the tourist season.
The alkaline soil common on the coast is corrected with an annual organic matter top-up in spring.
What to budget, visit by visit
Our /prix/jardinage/ sheet publishes 300–700 MAD per visit for green-space upkeep, by surface and task mix. A full hedge cut or tree pruning is quoted separately, per linear metre or per tree, after a site visit. If several jobs queue up (irrigation system, pruning, clearing), a year-round programme beats one-off visits: a frequency contract lowers the price per visit.
A one-off creation or rehabilitation job is priced per project and surface, not per visit.
When the villa sits empty for months
On the Taghazout–Tamraght coast the holiday home often stays shut for long spells. Without a watering programme, a garden burns in under a month of dry season, and a dead garden takes several seasons to come back. Two simple safeguards: a programmable timer the team can supervise at each visit, and a villa guard (3,500–5,500 MAD per month per our /prix/gardien-villa/ sheet) who lets the crews in and reports failures.
The most reliable setup is a weekly maintenance contract covering mowing, watering and checks, with a photo report after every visit.

What does garden care cost in Taghazout?
Our garden sheet publishes 300–700 MAD per visit for regular green-space upkeep. A full hedge cut or pruning is quoted separately, per metre or per tree, after a visit. Market ranges 10/2026, validated with a written quote.
How high should I mow in the Moroccan dry season?
Keep 6–8 cm in the dry season and follow the one-third rule: never remove more than a third of the blade per cut. That height protects the soil from water stress, within 10 to 20 mowings a year.
How do I protect a garden when the villa is empty for three months?
Programme the drip irrigation, hand the grounds to a guard (3,500–5,500 MAD per month on our price grid) and schedule weekly upkeep visits with a photo report. Without those three, a dry-season garden is lost before the month is out.
