/seɾbiθjo de xaɾdineɾia/from spelling rules
The English phrase 'lawn service' is translated into Spanish as servicio de jardinería.
This phrase refers to a professional business that provides maintenance and care for a home's grass and garden. If you wish to refer specifically to the person performing the work, you would use jardinero.
What does it mean word for word?
The phrase is composed of servicio (service) and de jardinería (of gardening/landscaping).
Which one should you use?
While servicio de jardinería refers to the business or service entity, mantenimiento de jardines is a common alternative used when specifically referring to the ongoing upkeep of a garden. Additionally, jardinero is used to denote the individual person rather than the service itself.
Is it said differently in some regions?
In Argentina, servicio de parquización is a common term used to refer to the creation and maintenance of gardens, including lawn care. In some areas of Spain, mantenimiento de zonas verdes might be used to emphasize the maintenance of green areas.
