For villa owners on the Fethiye coast, the pool and garden are not simply amenities — they are the centrepiece of the property. The terrace, the pool water, the manicured garden beds — these are what guests photograph, what renters pay a premium for, and what makes ownership on the Turkish coast so rewarding. Keeping these spaces in excellent condition year-round requires a consistent, professional maintenance programme that understands the specific demands of the Mediterranean climate.

Why Pool Maintenance in Fethiye Is Different

The heat, the dust, the intensity of the summer sun — conditions along the Fethiye coast place extraordinary demands on pool water chemistry. In July and August, water temperatures in unshaded pools can exceed 30°C, dramatically accelerating algae growth and depleting chlorine levels. Without regular chemical monitoring and adjustment — typically twice weekly during peak summer — pool water can turn green within days. This is not a cosmetic issue. Green water indicates dangerous bacterial growth and renders the pool unsafe.

At NEW GENERATION Property Services, our pool maintenance teams visit on a structured schedule throughout the season. Each visit covers water chemistry testing, chemical dosing, filter and pump checks, basket cleaning, surface brushing and full water line cleaning. Equipment — pumps, heaters, filters, covers — is inspected at every visit so that mechanical failures are caught early, before they become expensive mid-season emergencies. At season end, we carry out full pool winterisation: adjusting chemistry, covering correctly and protecting equipment from the wet winter months.

Garden Maintenance: Seasonal Rhythms on the Turquoise Coast

The garden maintenance calendar in Fethiye is driven by the climate. From April through October, the growing season is intense — bougainvillea, oleander, lemon trees and Mediterranean planting all require regular pruning, feeding and irrigation management to thrive and to stay presentable. Lawns — where properties have them — need cutting every one to two weeks in summer, with edge trimming and feeding to combat the heat stress.

Irrigation is critical. Properties that rely on automatic irrigation systems need those systems checked at the start of each season — blocked heads, failed solenoids and misaligned sprinklers result in dead patches and wasted water. Our garden teams inspect and adjust irrigation systems as part of seasonal opening, and monitor performance throughout the summer. Where drought-tolerant planting has been established, we advise on watering schedules that balance plant health with water conservation.

Winter in Fethiye is mild but wet. October through February brings significant rainfall, and gardens that were not properly prepared — with drainage checked, dead growth removed and tender plants protected — can suffer. Our winter garden programme covers all of this: cutting back, mulching, drainage clearing and the structural work that sets up a garden for a strong spring display.

The Value of Year-Round, Professional Pool & Garden Management

Many overseas owners attempt to manage pool and garden maintenance through a patchwork of occasional local contractors — someone to cut the grass, someone else for the pool chemicals. This approach rarely produces consistent results and frequently leads to missed visits, quality shortfalls and problems that escalate undetected. A professionally managed annual programme, by contrast, provides complete continuity: the same team, on a structured schedule, with full reporting after every visit so you always know the condition of your outdoor spaces.

NEW GENERATION Property Services manages pool and garden maintenance programmes for villas and residential sites across Fethiye, Ölüdeniz, Göcek, Kaş and Kalkan. Whether your property is occupied throughout the summer or sits empty for extended periods, we ensure your outdoor spaces are maintained to a standard that protects both your enjoyment and your investment.
