Landscaping in Pollensa

Pollensa runs from a stone town at the foot of the mountains out to a north facing bay, and the two ends garden very differently. Say which you are in and we pass the request to companies working the north.

Sheltered in the town, exposed on the bay

The old town sits under the Puig with terraced olive above it, and its gardens are courtyards behind thick stone walls plus terraces cut into the slope. Shelter is generous, so the plant list is wide and citrus does well.

At the port the bay faces north and the tramuntana wind funnels straight into it. Front line gardens there deal with real exposure, and the pines along the front show which way the wind blows without anyone having to measure it.

Out towards Formentor the ground is rock with pine and scrub, dramatic and thin, where planting means built beds and species that ask for almost nothing.

What gardens in Pollensa usually need

  • Courtyard and terrace planting in the old town
  • Olive terrace care on the slopes above
  • Wind shelter on the north facing bay
  • Salt tolerant species at the port
  • Built beds on thin rocky ground towards Formentor
  • Holiday letting maintenance through the season
  • Irrigation for properties empty for weeks at a time
  • Drainage where hillside water crosses a plot

Most requested here

Holiday homes

Properties let through the northern season.

Privacy and hedging

Shelter belts against the tramuntana.

Townhouses and courtyards

Why is the port windier than the town?

The bay faces north and the mountains funnel the tramuntana into it. A few kilometres inland the same wind is largely blocked.

Can citrus grow here?

In the sheltered ground around the town it does well. At the port it needs protection from the wind more than from the cold.

When is the best time for work on a let property?

Outside the northern season, which runs later here than on the south coast. Say your letting dates in the request.
