A sheltered valley with cold nights
The hills take most of the salt out of the air before it reaches the town, which opens the plant list considerably compared with the coast a few kilometres away. Citrus, cypress and softer leaved shrubs are realistic here in a way they are not at the harbour mouth.
The valley floor also collects cold air, so winter nights are genuinely colder than on the coastal strip and frost is possible in the open ground. Tender subtropical planting that survives at sea level can be caught here.
Above the town the plots are terraced almond and carob ground with dry stone marges, and most garden projects there begin with deciding which terraces to bring back into use and which to leave as grove.
What gardens in Andratx usually need
- Dry stone terrace repair on sloping plots
- Almond and carob grove management
- Frost aware planting on the valley floor
- Irrigation from wells and cisterns rather than mains alone
- Clearance and firebreaks on rural plots
- Access planning on narrow lanes and steep drives
- Drainage where storm water runs off the hillside
- Shade planting for west facing terraces
Most requested here
Does it really frost in Andratx?
On the valley floor it can, on clear winter nights. It is worth mentioning in a request, because it changes which species a company will propose.
Do I need permission to rebuild a marge?
Often yes, especially on rural land or within a protected area. The company quoting should tell you what applies to your parcel.
Is water mains supplied here?
In the town usually, on rural parcels frequently not. Say what your source is, because it changes the irrigation design.
