Landscaping in Costa d’en Blanes
A hillside of terraced villa plots dropping to the sea between Portals Nous and Palmanova, with sea views bought at the price of exposure and slope. Tell us how the plot steps down to the sea and we pass the request to companies that take on slope work.

Every level is a retaining decision
The gradient means a garden is a stack of built platforms rather than a continuous surface. Retaining walls, steps and the drainage behind them are structural rather than decorative, and they are usually where the budget goes.
Exposure varies sharply within a few hundred metres. A plot open to the southwest takes salt and wind directly, while one tucked behind the ridge behaves almost like an inland garden, so a plant list that works for a neighbour may not work for you.
Mature pine covers much of the slope. It gives welcome shade and drops needles into every pool and gutter on the hillside, which is a permanent maintenance line rather than an occasional job.
What gardens here usually need
- Retaining structures and terrace repair
- Drainage designed for storm water on a slope
- Salt tolerant planting on the exposed faces
- Dry shade planting under existing pines
- Step and path lighting on multi level plots
- Pool surrounds kept clear of pine litter
- Access planning on steep private drives
- Screening between closely spaced villas
Most requested here
Why is work more expensive on a steep plot?
Because material has to be moved by hand or by machine that can work on the gradient, and every level needs a structure to hold it. Access is usually the single largest variable.
Can I plant under the pines?
Some things, with realistic expectations. Dry shade and surface roots suit lentisc, ruscus and tough ground cover rather than anything demanding.
Does the whole area get the same wind?
No. Exposure changes markedly with the shape of the slope, which is why a plant that thrives two doors away may burn on your terrace.
