Pool and Garden Care for Phuket Villas

A pool and garden are the first things a visitor sees and the first things to suffer when a property is left alone. Phuket’s heat and rainfall grow a garden quickly and turn a neglected pool green in days. At Anan Property Group, we arrange regular pool and garden care so that your villa looks cared for whether you arrived yesterday or have not visited since March.

Keeping a Pool in Condition

Pool care here is a weekly discipline rather than an occasional task. Each visit covers skimming and brushing, vacuuming the floor, emptying skimmer and pump baskets, backwashing or cleaning the filter as required, and testing and correcting the water chemistry — chlorine or salt levels, pH and alkalinity — which move rapidly in this climate and take a pool out of balance within a week if left.

The plant needs attention as much as the water. Pumps, filters, chlorinators, heaters and automatic cleaners are checked on every visit, and small faults are reported before they become expensive. During the monsoon, run times and dosing are adjusted for heavy rain and leaf fall; through the dry season, evaporation and heavier use change the balance again. A pool maintained to a schedule that ignores the season is a pool that is always slightly wrong.

Visit frequency is set to how the property is used. A villa occupied year-round or let to guests generally warrants two or three visits a week; a home used seasonally can be maintained weekly and brought up to full condition ahead of each arrival. Owners receive a record of each visit, with readings, work carried out and anything that needs a decision.

Gardens That Look Intentional

Tropical planting grows fast, and the difference between a beautiful garden and an overgrown one is a matter of weeks. Regular care covers mowing and edging, pruning and shaping, weeding, feeding, pest and disease treatment, irrigation checks, and clearing the fallen leaves and palm fronds that block drains and stain terraces. Before the monsoon, we arrange the cutting back of overhanging limbs that would otherwise come down in a storm.

Sightlines are managed deliberately. A great deal of a Phuket property’s value sits in its view, and mature planting will close that view quietly over a couple of seasons unless somebody is watching for it. We keep the outlook you bought the house for, and we keep terraces, paths and pool surrounds clear and safe rather than slippery with algae.

These services are arranged and facilitated by Anan Property Group and provided by our trusted network of pool and garden associates. We select the teams, agree the schedule and specification, supervise the standard of work and handle the reporting — so that you deal with one office rather than a succession of individual contractors.

Consistent care costs far less than restoration. Anan Property Group will put a reliable pool and garden routine in place for your Phuket property and make sure it is actually followed while you are away.
