Small plots, clay ground, developer gardens
Most of the housing here came with its garden already decided: a rectangle of lawn, a boundary hedge and a drip line that was never zoned properly. Those gardens are the easiest on the island to improve, because the starting point is standardised and the changes are well understood.
The ground is the clay this area has always been known for, which is why the local pottery exists. It holds water, compacts under construction traffic and needs opening up before planting rather than simply topping with soil.
Being inland, summers run hotter than in Palma itself and winter nights are cooler, so the plant list sits closer to the interior than to the coast.
What gardens in Marratxí usually need
- Replacing developer lawn with something that copes
- Opening up compacted clay before planting
- Rezoning irrigation that was installed as one circuit
- Screening between closely spaced houses
- Shade for terraces on open plots
- Drainage where clay holds winter water
- Compact planting that suits a small garden
- Regular maintenance within reach of the city
Most requested here
Why does my garden stay wet in winter?
Clay plus compaction from the build. Opening the ground up and correcting the falls usually does more than adding a drain.
Is a small garden worth designing?
Often more than a large one, because every square metre is visible from the house.
Can I keep the lawn?
If it is used, yes. If it is only looked at, replacing it is the single biggest saving available in most gardens here.
