Two climates within a couple of kilometres
Down by the bay the ground is sandy, the plots are close together and salt reaches the seaward boundaries. Up in Nova Santa Ponsa the plots are larger and set among pine woodland, sheltered enough that the plant list opens up considerably.
Water is the shared question. This is one of the more heavily built parts of the coast, gardens here were mostly laid out with lawn and hedging, and dry summers put pressure on exactly that combination.
Pine woodland brings the usual pair of issues with it, dry shade underneath and needles in every pool and gutter, and near the woodland edge a cleared margin is worth keeping.
What gardens in Santa Ponsa usually need
- Replacing lawn and hedging with lower water planting
- Salt tolerant species on seaward boundaries
- Dry shade planting under mature pines
- Pool surrounds kept clear of pine litter
- Irrigation rezoned rather than simply repaired
- Screening between closely spaced plots
- Cleared margins along the woodland edge
- Maintenance for part year occupancy
Most requested here
Is the hill really different from the bay?
Yes. More shelter, more shade and less salt, which widens what you can plant.
What can I do about pine needles in the pool?
Planting choices help a little, but the practical answer is a maintenance rhythm that keeps up with them.
Will replacing the lawn look bare?
Not if it is replaced with planting rather than left as gravel. Ground cover and low shrubs read as fuller than grass does.
