What matters

Garden at a glance.

A good Mallorca garden lives from soil, wind, and irrigation – we help you assess what care will actually be involved.

01

Understanding a Mediterranean garden

Olive trees, almond trees, pines, bougainvillea, oleander, lavender, rosemary – the Mallorcan flora is robust and low-maintenance. Classic lawns need a lot of water and become critical in summer. Mediterranean planting with drip irrigation is the most sustainable choice.

02

Garden and water

If you want to keep a garden on Mallorca, you should think about a well , an aljibe (cistern), or drip irrigation from city water. We show you what's already in place at the property and what's worth adding – considered irrigation cuts care in half and doubles the joy.

03

Care – yourself, with help, or fully delegated

A small patio garden is easy to maintain yourself. A 1,000 m² plot with olive grove, pool, and lawn is full-time work. We know reliable landscaping businesses on the island and can tell you realistically what service and care cost – monthly, seasonally, or as a full contract.

Frequently asked

What buyers ask about Garden.

How big should a Mediterranean garden be?

From about 300 m² it becomes its own living space. Classic finca plots run 1,000–10,000 m². Size isn't everything – cut, orientation, and existing planting matter just as much.

Which plants work well?

Classic Mediterranean: olive trees, almond trees, bougainvillea, oleander, cypress, rosemary, lavender. Water-saving and island-typical. English lawn barely works here – rock gardens and gravel look better and save water.

How important is irrigation?

Very. Mallorca has long dry spells – a well-planned drip system with a timer is mandatory for any maintained garden. We check the irrigation during the property review.

What does garden care cost?

For a mid-sized plot with lawn and pool, around €200–€400 per month for a gardener. Larger fincas with olive groves accordingly more. We know reliable garden teams in southeastern Mallorca.
