Across Mallorca
Marsh flats, rocky headland and walled town
The flat land behind the bay sits beside s’Albufera, and gardens there deal with a high water table and salt in the groundwater. Drainage matters more than irrigation on those plots, and species that tolerate wet winter ground are worth choosing deliberately.
Out on the Mal Pas and Bonaire headland the picture reverses. Thin soil over rock, wind coming down off the Formentor side of the bay, and constant salt spray on the front line, which is why the pines up there grow leaning inland.
Inside the old walls it is a third garden entirely. Enclosed courtyards, deep shade against thick stone, container planting and access that runs through the house.
What gardens in Alcúdia usually need
- Drainage on the low ground behind the bay
- Salt tolerant planting on the Bonaire and Mal Pas side
- Shelter from the north wind coming across the bay
- Irrigation that copes with brackish supply where it occurs
- Courtyard and container planting inside the old town
- Maintenance timed around a long holiday letting season
- Pine management on the wooded headland plots
- Pool surround planting that survives spray and traffic
Most requested here
Why does my Alcúdia garden flood in autumn?
Ground near the bay and the wetland has a high water table, so a storm has nowhere to drain to. The fix is usually a combination of regrading and storage rather than a single pipe.
Is the water here salty?
On some plots close to the coast it can be brackish, which shows as leaf burn on sensitive species. Worth testing before choosing a planting scheme.
Can work happen during the summer season?
It can, though on a let property most owners prefer changeover windows. Say in your request when the house is empty.
