Landscaping in Santa Maria del Camí

Santa Maria sits at the foot of the Tramuntana in the wine belt, close enough to the mountains to get their rain and close enough to Palma to be a commuter village. Describe your property and we pass the request on.

A gentler climate than the plain behind it

Sheltered by the mountains and catching more of their rainfall, this belt is one of the easier places on the island to garden. Soils are deeper than on the coast, the summer is less brutal than in the deep interior, and the range of plants that will grow is correspondingly wider.

The village itself is stone houses with walled gardens behind them, often long and narrow, with mature fruit trees and a well. Those gardens usually need editing rather than replacing.

Beyond the village the land is vineyard and almond, and most rural projects start with deciding how much of the parcel becomes garden and how much stays as working ground.

What gardens here usually need

  • Editing mature walled gardens rather than clearing them
  • Fruit tree care on old established stock
  • Deeper soil used for real planting beds
  • Shade over terraces used through summer
  • Irrigation from a well on older properties
  • Frost aware species for cold winter nights
  • A clear edge between garden and vineyard
  • Green waste removed from the property

Garden renovation

Bringing an old walled garden back.

Edible garden and orchard

Fruit, vine and a kitchen garden.

Landscape and garden design

When a long narrow plot needs a plan.

Is it really wetter here than in the Pla?

Somewhat. The mountains catch rain that never reaches the middle of the island, which shows in what grows naturally.

Are old fruit trees worth keeping?

Usually. A few seasons of careful pruning brings most of them back, and they give structure a new planting cannot buy.

Do I need permission to work near a vineyard?

Not for garden work, though anything structural on rural land generally needs checking with the town hall.
