Landscaping in Génova
Génova climbs the flank of Na Burguesa above Palma, which gives it the view and takes away the easy access. Describe the property and we pass the request to companies that work these lanes.

Steep, dry and hard to reach
The lanes are narrow and steep, parking is scarce and many houses are entered up a flight of steps, so on a good number of plots everything arrives by hand. That is the first thing worth telling a company, because it changes the method rather than only the price.
The hillside itself is dry limestone with pine and garrigue above the houses, so the natural conditions favour Mediterranean planting and punish anything thirsty. Gardens are usually terraced and small, with the view doing most of the work.
Fire is a genuine consideration on the wooded upper edge, and cleared margins around buildings are part of ordinary maintenance rather than an extra.
What gardens in Génova usually need
- Access planning before any material is ordered
- Terraced beds and retaining on the slope
- Dry Mediterranean planting on thin limestone
- Cleared margins where the plot meets pine woodland
- Compact planting that does not block the view
- Container schemes for terraces with no soil
- Automatic irrigation for pots and built beds
- Evening lighting for terraces facing the bay
Most requested here
Can a van reach my house?
On some lanes yes and on others not at all. A photograph of the approach saves a great deal of back and forth when companies quote.
Is fire clearance needed here?
On plots that back onto the pine woodland it is worth doing regardless of what is strictly required, and many owners include it in their maintenance.
What grows on this hillside without much water?
The garrigue palette. Lentisc, rosemary, cistus, wild olive and dwarf palm all manage on very little once established.
