Old ground with the structure already in it

The parcels here are divided by dry stone walls that have been in place a very long time, and most have almond, carob or vine on them. That existing structure is worth building around: it gives a new garden a shape and a scale that would take twenty years to plant from scratch.

Water comes from wells, and the amount available is often what decides how large the planted area can honestly be. On a hot inland parcel it is better to garden a smaller area properly than to spread thin irrigation over the whole plot.

Summers are hot and winters have cold clear nights, so the reliable plant list is the traditional one plus Mediterranean shrubs that take both extremes.

What gardens around Sencelles usually need

  • Dry stone wall repair on parcel boundaries
  • Almond, carob and vine brought back into condition
  • Irrigation sized to the well rather than the plan
  • A defined planted area close to the house
  • Windbreak planting across open ground
  • Deep mulch against summer heat
  • Clearance on parcels left fallow
  • Firebreak margins around buildings

Drought tolerant gardens

What this ground supports without a fight.

How big should the garden part of a finca be?

As large as the water and the upkeep can honestly carry. A smaller area done well beats a large one that thins out.

Are the old walls worth rebuilding?

Usually yes. They hold soil, mark boundaries and are the strongest visual feature most of these parcels have.

Do companies travel this far inland?

Several are based in the Pla. Give the exact location in your request.
