Landscaping in Campos
Campos sits on the flat southern plain, one of the driest and hottest parts of the island, and its gardens are shaped almost entirely by what comes out of the tap or the well. Describe your property and we pass the request to companies working the south.

Test the water before choosing a single plant
Groundwater across this plain carries salt, and on many parcels it is high enough to damage sensitive planting over a season or two. The symptom is leaf edges browning on plants that are being watered generously, which sends people in exactly the wrong direction.
Where the water is brackish, the answer is species that tolerate it, wider spacing and mulch rather than more irrigation. Tamarisk, oleander, rosemary, atriplex and olive all cope where citrus and lawn do not.
The rest of the picture is heat and openness. Very little natural shelter, long sun hours and low rainfall, which puts windbreak planting and shade near the top of most briefs.
What gardens in Campos usually need
- A water test before the planting plan is written
- Salt tolerant species where groundwater is brackish
- Windbreak planting on open farmland
- Shade structures rather than shade trees at first
- Deep mulch to reduce evaporation
- Irrigation designed around a well flow rate
- Es Trenc area planting that copes with sand and salt
- Seasonal management on larger rural parcels
Most requested here
Why do my plants burn despite constant watering?
On this plain that is usually salt in the irrigation water rather than drought. A water analysis settles it quickly and changes the whole planting approach.
Can I have a lawn in Campos?
It is one of the harder places on the island for it, between the heat, the low rainfall and the water quality. Ground cover and gravel usually give a better result.
Is mains water available?
On some parcels yes and on many it is well water. Say which you have, since it changes what a company will propose.
