Terraced orange trees and olives on dry stone marges at Bunyola, under the limestone wall of the Tramuntana

Landscaping in Bunyola

Bunyola sits where the plain runs into the Tramuntana, which gives it more rain, more shelter and steeper ground than anywhere further south. Tell us about the property and we pass the request to companies working the foothills.

More rain than inland, more slope than the coast

The mountains catch rain that never reaches the interior, so gardens here can support planting that would struggle twenty kilometres east. Olive terraces, orange trees and holm oak all do well, and the growing season starts earlier in the sheltered valleys.

The slope is the constraint. Almost everything is terraced, so retaining walls, steps and where storm water goes are permanent subjects, and a wet winter finds every weak point in the drainage.

Access is the other one. Narrow lanes, private tracks and tight turns mean the method of getting material onto a plot is often decided before the design is.

What gardens in Bunyola usually need

  • Dry stone terrace repair and rebuilding
  • Storm water routed off the hillside safely
  • Olive and citrus care on terraced ground
  • Shade planting under existing canopy
  • Access planning on narrow tracks
  • Clearance and firebreaks around rural buildings
  • Irrigation fed from springs, wells or cisterns
  • Planting that copes with a wetter winter

Most requested here

Dry stone and retaining walls

The structure a terraced plot depends on.

Drainage

Where hillside water goes in an autumn storm.

Rustic finca garden

The style most of these properties suit.

Does the extra rainfall change what I can plant?

It widens the list, particularly for anything that dislikes a very dry summer. It also means drainage matters more, since these slopes shed a lot of water quickly.

Are there restrictions on building in the Tramuntana?

Yes, and they are stricter than on the plain. Anything structural should be checked with the town hall before it is booked.

Can a lorry reach my plot?

Frequently not the whole way. Photographs of the access help companies quote accurately.
