Old pines, terraced plots, old irrigation
The Aleppo pines that give the area its character also dominate the gardens under them. They cast dry shade, drop needles into pools and gutters all year, and their roots are close to the surface, which limits what can be planted beneath them and how deep anyone can dig.
Most plots step down the slope in terraces, so retaining structures, steps and the drainage behind them are a recurring subject rather than an occasional one.
The other pattern here is age. Many gardens still run irrigation installed when the houses were built, and on a property where nobody has a plan of the pipework the first useful job is often simply finding out what is buried and what still works.
What gardens in Bendinat usually need
- Pine management and needle clearance
- Planting that tolerates dry shade under canopy
- Retaining wall and terrace repair on the slope
- Replacing irrigation installed decades ago
- Lighting on steps and level changes
- Screening between neighbouring plots
- Pool surrounds kept clear of falling needles
- Maintenance for properties used part of the year
Most requested here
What grows under Aleppo pines?
Less than people hope. Dry shade with surface roots suits lentisc, ruscus, acanthus and tough ground cover rather than anything that wants moisture.
Can pines near the house be reduced?
Usually they can be thinned or lifted rather than topped, and removal often needs permission. Ask the company quoting what your municipality requires.
Are there community rules on my plot?
Many of the urbanisations here have them, covering heights and boundaries. It is worth checking before commissioning a screen or a structure.
