INTRODUCTION

2
 A maintenance system is a very useful tool for the management of a company, since it allows

guidance about the activities, equipment and time spent in a certain area to keep it in good

condition.

For companies dedicated to providing food and beverage and accommodation services, such

as hotels, it is important to rely on a maintenance system in the areas that are essential for

providing the service.

In the case of this investigation, it was decided to develop a maintenance plan for the green

areas of the La Fuente de la Higuera hotel.

3
 Maintenance of green areas

Green areas are all those urban spaces, or those on the periphery of these, predominantly

occupied with trees, bushes or plants, which can have different uses, whether fulfilling functions

of recreation, recreation, ecological, ornamentation, protection, recovery and rehabilitation of the

environment. , or similar.

Another definition is that gardens and green areas, indoors and outdoors, are delicate spaces

and their correct maintenance, protection and conservation contribute to offering a better image

of the company.

According to Javier Arranz (2004) “maintenance must be carried out on the hotel's

landscaping every four weeks.” In order not to give a bad image to the hotel, you must have all

kinds of tools to prune the grass and trees, and enough staff for this.

There are certain green area maintenance tasks that are routine, and must be performed regularly,

others are seasonal tasks.

In this research it was decided to work with the green areas of the hotel “ La Fuente de Higuera

”, a wonderful and relaxing hotel in a beautiful rural environment located in Andalusia, Spain. It

is located in an old mill house surrounded by trees. The centerpiece of the carefully maintained

gardens is the swimming pool with panoramic views over the hills and valleys with cypresses,

evonyms, privets, birds of paradise and palm trees. It has 2000m2 of garden and a total of

3000m2 of hotel . The activities required for the maintenance of these gardens are mainly the

following:

 Pruning grass, plants and trees.

4
  Aeration, cutting, edging and reseeding the lawn.

 Irrigation and fertilization.

 Cleaning: Collection of dry leaves, branches, herbs, etc.

Each of the activities mentioned above will be specified, as well as the equipment and

necessary cleaning routine.

Grass Pruning: On actively growing plants, such as hedges and evergreens, lightly trimming

new growth in late spring and early summer will help control the height and shape of the shrub.

Pruning promotes healthy growth of trees and shrubs by cutting away old twigs and woody

branches. Prune in fall or winter while the tree or shrub is dormant.

Types of Pruning:

 Training Pruning : Corresponds to the removal of branches during the first years of the

tree's life, in order to maintain the characteristics of the structures and shape of the tree

species.

 Maintenance Pruning : Corresponds to pruning during the years following planting to

regulate the growth of the trees and achieve the size and shape, natural or artificial, that

the adult specimen will have.

 Levante Pruning : This corresponds to the elimination of the lowest branches of the tree,

mainly those that arise in the trunk, to obtain a free area under the crown for circulation.

This intervention is permanent and a clearance height is established from the floor 3 m

high. All monocotyledonous species existing in green areas are excluded from this type

of management.

5
  Rejuvenation Pruning : Type of aggressive pruning, which has no other criterion other

than reducing the size of the crown or reducing its height.

 Guide Pruning : When the upper part of the tree branches and gives rise to several

terminal guides, it is necessary to intervene so that only one vertical branch is preserved,

which will constitute the main axis of the tree.

 Root Pruning : Root treatments will be carried out on those specimens that are causing

damage to any construction in the green area or in its vicinity.

Any cut made during pruning must be clean, sharp, free of tears and in an oblique direction

and opposite to the last bud. To carry out a correct intervention of total extraction of primary and

secondary branches, the following instructions will be followed:

1. A cut should be made at the top of the branch, 30 cm away. of the trunk, and

without reaching the center of the branch.

2. It is cut below the same branch, but this time attached to the trunk.

3. Deepen the first cut made to the branch until it is detached

4. Remove the remaining stump with a sharp-bladed tool and coat the surface with

fungicide (cupric paste).

Minor secondary and tertiary branches can be cut with sharp and well-adjusted pruners in a

single cut and in one go.

Shrub pruning : Pruning hedges, removing dry, poorly located, broken or diseased branches and

annual pruning, in the months of June and July, for roses, crepes, along with removing dried

flowers to prevent their premature aging.

6
 In general, the natural growth of the species will be respected and pruning to thin out

branches will be consulted.

Use of proper tools: Always use the appropriate size cutting tool to minimize the risk of damage

to the tree or shrub, as well as to the tool itself and the operator. The tools can be:

 Thinning Scissors: Small, easily accessible trimming

scissors less than 3/8 inch thick.

 Hand Pruner: A hook and blade tool for cutting branches

and twigs from 3/8 to 1 inch in diameter.

 Hand Pruning Saws : When you need more than a hand

pruner (1-4 inch cuts).

 Long Handle Pruning Shears: When you need more than a

hand pruner (1-3 inch cuts) or for harder to reach branches.

 Tree Pruners: A pole-mounted pruning head or saw blade

that allows cutting branches up to 1-3/4 inch on tall trees.

 Hedge/shrub shears: For pruning when the diameter of the

plant material is thin, but there is a large amount.

Lawn aeration : It is a maintenance technique carried out with aerating

machines, whose function is to perforate the surface of the grass, allowing it to decompact and

improving its permeability. You can choose to use a drilling roller, which performs the drilling

and represents a solution for grass maintenance. This work is preferable to do for grass in warm

seasons in spring. Avoid airing during intense heat. Aerating in these conditions will stress the

grass allowing the heat to dry out the soil.

Guidelines to follow for effective aeration

 Aerate the grass when it is growing well. For warm season grass, mid to late spring is the

best time.

 Aerate when the soil is moist, but not wet.

 Avoid aeration during periods of stress.

 Ensure the aerator does not hit sprinkler lines or underground utilities.

 Aeration holes can be filled with porous soil amendments or organic material to improve

porosity and water and nutrient infiltration.

Times to consider for aerating, sowing or applying pre-emergent herbicides : The time for

aeration, sowing and applying pre-emergent herbicides is usually the same. This can be

complicated, since if done in the wrong order, you can obtain an unwanted result, thus losing

money, product and work.

Common mistakes:

8
  A pre-emergent herbicide applied shortly before planting not only prevents weed

germination, but also desirable seed germination.

 Aerating after application of pre-emergent herbicides punctures holes and disrupts the

barrier created, meaning weeds can still germinate.

Grass cutting : The grass will be permanently maintained at a height ranging between 3 to 5

centimeters high, depending on the season of the year. Each cut will not exceed one third of the

total height of the grass, with exhaustive control of the mixtures before the cutting process. A

uniform grass height will be maintained throughout the intervened grass area, through a clean cut

without tearing. Lawn mowers will be used with impact cutting mechanism, side discharge,

minimum 5.5 hp power, with height regulator.

All excess material will be removed from the surface of the green area meadows on the same

day it is made, subsequently an intense hydration process of the grass will be carried out.

The process will be carried out weekly except for the fall-winter season where the frequency

will be spaced out, not exceeding ten days between cuts.

Lawn Mowing Tips : A general rule of thumb is to time your lawn mowing so that no more than

one-third of the height of the grass is removed. Removing more than a third of the grass leaves

can cause root growth to cease while leaves and shoots grow very quickly as a result. If this

practice is repeated it can be harmful to the grass. Below are guidelines for mowing some types

of grass.

Grass edging : The edging consisting of the perimeter cutting of the meadows of the green areas

and the contour of the tree, shrub and ornamental elements that contain the grass areas. This

work will be carried out simultaneously with the cutting, carried out with due caution not to

damage the bark of the neck of the species inserted in the meadows, as well as on the roads,

paths, fences, planters and sidewalks. Professional lawn mowers will be used, with projectile

impact protector, minimum power 1.9 hp.

In addition, it is considered a clearing of solerillas and edges of corn roads and paths,

eliminating weeds and delimiting the meadows. This work should not exceed 10cm wide from

the solerilla or edge of the sidewalk to the edge of the meadow.

Lawn reseeding : Damaged, aged or weeded grass is replaced, replacing it with carpet or roll

type grass that contains the characteristics and virtues necessary for the client.

The land for replanting must be chopped to a depth of 20 centimeters, sieving the soil and

incorporating 40% of sifted leaf soil and, if necessary, 10% coarse sand, leveling the land

10
appropriately. In the replanting process, the following seed mixtures will be used: poa pratensis,

dwarf clover, perennial lilium, and fescue arundinacea. These mixtures can be modified; a dose

of 01 kg should be considered for 18 M2.

Irrigation Program : Irrigation consists of artificially providing water to the soil, in such a way

that it obtains optimal humidity so that the plant species existing in the green area have water in

sufficient quantity and effectively, with the aim of the species, but mainly the grass, always

develop healthy and vigorous. Adequate irrigation is conditional on the best combination of the

following factors:

 Irrigation frequency: It is defined as the time that elapses between the execution of two

successive irrigations.

 Irrigation flow: It is defined as the amount of water delivered to be incorporated into a

soil in a unit of time and determined volume (e.g. liters/minutes).

 Irrigation time: It is defined as the duration of this task, from the beginning to the end of

it. This will be conditioned by the type of soil and the flow available in each case.

 Irrigation depth: It is defined as the infiltration that the water reaches after irrigation has

been carried out. The depth of this infiltration cannot be less than the average extension

reached by the root system of the species to be irrigated.

 Irrigation schedule: Irrigation will be carried out during the hours when the atmospheric

conditions are technically appropriate, or when the service requires it. In the frost season,

irrigation of the lawn will be attempted early in the morning, to reduce the damage

caused by this climatic phenomenon to plant species.

 Irrigation method: Irrigation must be carried out using a hose with a dissipator, impact

sprinklers or irrigation with a tank truck. In those cases, duly justified.

11
Irrigation method: The irrigation depth will be 30 centimeters in trees and 5 centimeters in

bushes, the volume of water applied will be sufficient for the irrigation sheet to reach these

depths (approximately 8 liters per m2), avoiding surface runoff and subsequent erosion and loss

of nutrients in the soil. In sectors with ground cover and grass, the hydration process will be

carried out with a hose or sprinklers, providing a type of fine and constant rain. Below are the

irrigation recommendations depending on the season:

Fertilization : The most advisable thing when making a fertilization plan for any crop is to do a

soil analysis, to see precisely what the availability of nutrients it has, based on these results and

the requirements of the crop, carry out a precise fertilization program to complete what the soil

needs to recover to meet the nutrient demands of the plants for their optimal development.

It must be assumed that there are practically no soils that provide 100% of the nutritional

requirements, therefore, it is normal that problems arise due to lack of nutrients in the species to

be treated (trees, shrubs, floral plants, ground covers and grass). ). The most important elements

12
for plants to develop fully are macronutrients (N, P, K), which will be delivered mainly through

the incorporation of inorganic products into the soil in complement of organic products through

natural amendments and applications of foliar products based on organic products, which also

help provide the micronutrients that plants need.

The main sources of Nitrogen (N) can be obtained mainly from Urea, Potassium and Sodium

Saltpeter, Nitrates, Diatonic Phosphate and Guano. Potassium (K) is obtained from Potassium

Saltpeter, which also provides minor elements and Calcium Nitrate. Triple Superphosphate is

preferably used as a source of phosphorus (P).

It is advisable to apply organic fertilizers, whether of animal or vegetable origin, which are

odor-free mainly because it is an additional source of nutrients and because it is a source of

organic matter, improving the physical, chemical and biological properties of the soil. This

favors root development, the moisture retention capacity and aeration of the soil. Therefore, to

develop the fertilization program, a complementation between organic matter and fertilizers will

be sought in order to achieve an improvement in the soil structure and thereby provide the

necessary nutrients for the vegetables. The application time should be when the vegetables begin

to come out of their winter recess.

Application time: The time of application of the chemical products will be between 9:00 p.m.

and 6:00 a.m., taking into consideration the climatic conditions and characteristics of the place.

Equipment used: In those cases, such as the application of foliar fertilizers, we work with

manual and motorized back sprayers, which are regulated and checked before each application to

obtain the best performance, operating pressure and delivery time. recommended product for

each case.

13
 In the case of soil fertilizers, drag carts, rake shovels and incorporation rollers or 1 cubic

meter plastic containers will be used, in the case of using water-soluble fertilizers applied via

irrigation.

For the safety of the personnel who work in the green areas of the hotel carrying out the

pertinent tasks of cleaning, irrigation, fertilization, among others. You are advised to work with

caution and avoid risks when handling tools with sharp edges and chemicals. Also be aware of

common hazards, such as falls, heavy lifting, exposure to heat/sun, dust, and potentially

damaging equipment. Workers must be protected with the following equipment:

 Gloves: Thick gloves should be worn to avoid cuts, burns and blisters.

 Clothing: Wear tight-fitting long-sleeved shirts to prevent them from getting caught

in the blades of the equipment.

 Face Protection: Wear safety glasses or a mask to protect yourself from flying

particles and chemicals.

 Hearing Protection: Wear ear protection when using high-powered equipment.

 Steel Toe Work Boots: Wear steel toe boots when using lawnmowers and trimmers.

Avoid long, dangling cords.

 Helmets: Use to help protect against sun damage and when pruning trees.

 Chemical safety: You should not smoke when working with pesticides or fertilizers.

 First aid: Always have fresh water and a first aid kit nearby.

Harvest

Mowing is a fundamental maintenance operation, since the final appearance of the green

grass tapestry largely depends on it. It is important to take into account the following aspects:

14
  Machinery to be used.

 Mowing frequency, which depends on the speed of growth.

 Mowing height, which depends among other factors on the use given to the grass

and the seed mixture used.

There are two main types of mowers on the market: rotary and helical.

Rotary mowers are most used in ornamental gardening by hobbyists, public parks, sports

fields and large surfaces. The cutting element is a blade with two arms that rotate about a vertical

axis at high speed.

It does not allow cuts lower than 15 – 20 mm. These machines are characterized by having

easy and cheap maintenance, which is reduced to periodically sharpening the blades, and

checking the perfect alignment of the rotation axis and the blade that it moves. However, the cut

is much less perfect than that of helical machines used on higher quality grasses, such as those

found in sports venues. The height of the mowing depends on the type of grass and the Use:

Ornamental grasses, soccer field, golf course, etc.

Tips for mowing the lawn:

 Avoid cutting wet grass.

 Avoid exaggerating the forward speed of the cutter.

 Alternate the direction or direction of cutting.

 Check and properly maintain the machine parts, especially blades and counter

blades.

 Clean the mower with pressurized water with a fungicide solution to avoid

transmitting diseases from one lawn to another.

15
  Raise the cutting height in summer to limit evapotranspiration.

 Raise the cutting height again in autumn or at the beginning of winter, as the grass

will better resist trampling and uprooting.

 Never cut more than 1/3 of the sheet at a time.

 Lower the cutting height progressively.

Plants found in the green areas of the La Fuente de la Higuera hotel

Date palm

The date palm is a dioecious, slender plant that can reach 25-30 m

in height and 2 m in diameter at the base of the stem. It is the fruit

species that tolerates the greatest climatic differences, but at the

same time it is the most demanding regarding them, for adequate

development and fruiting. Commercial date palm production is

limited to those areas with warm climates that have continually

low humidity during the fruit ripening season.

Cypress

It is a tree that can reach up to 15m in height and 3m in diameter

with erect branches with grayish green leaves. Rare is the garden

that does not have a cypress fence. The cypress is one of the

16
trees most used by gardeners in their gardens to limit the perimeters or create screens in the

garden or plot. The cypress accepts all types of soils or lands and tolerates drought well.

privet

The privet is a shrub that measures approximately two

meters in height, is perennial and grows both in full sun and

in the shade. Its leaves are green (similar to those of the

olive tree), lanceolate and opposite. For their part, the

flowers have a white hue and give off a scent. Importantly,

its fruit is a bitter and toxic black berry.

Evonym

It is an evergreen shrub that can reach 3 or 4 meters in

height. Its new branches are green and angular; Its leaves are

opposite, bright green with yellow or white striae or

markings, leathery, gently toothed and wider at the apex.

The fruits are bright red and ripen towards the end of autumn

or beginning of winter.

Bird from paradise

17
It is a plant characterized by its intense orange inflorescence. These flowers open in the shape of

a fan and usually take a shape similar to that of an exotic or tropical bird. Because of this unique

shape of the flowers it has the name bird of paradise.
