What I do

Sports turf and pitches

Surfaces that hold up all season

Natural grass pitch maintenance on a yearly programme: mowing, aeration, scarifying, topdressing, irrigation and rest periods.

Gardens

Landscaping grounded in the site

Gardens in Asunción designed around the conditions: species matched to sun and shade, deep and infrequent watering, living soil and timely pruning.

Urban trees and green spaces

The right tree in the right place

Rooting soil volume reserved at the design stage and structural pruning instead of topping, so trees last for decades.

Plant health and pest control

Identify before you spray

Integrated pest management: first find out what it is and how it gets in; targeted treatment only when it is needed, followed by monitoring.

How I think

Before touching anything, I look at four things. A bare patch, a tree that won't grow or a pest that keeps coming back almost always has its cause in one of them, not in the symptom.

Soilcompaction, drainage, pH
Waterhow much arrives and where it stays
Shadeactual hours of sun
Plantspecies, condition, physiology

So the order is always diagnosis first, intervention second. That approach comes from my training: forest engineering and plant physiology at the National University of Asunción, and sports turf management at the University of Buenos Aires.

What I aim for

My goal is to become Paraguay's Mr. Green: managing green areas of every kind, from high-performance pitches to nature reserves and parks, and being the person you call when a green space truly has to perform.

Green spaces in Paraguay managed on technical grounds: as infrastructure that is planned and maintained, not as decoration that gets fixed once it already looks bad.
