Landscaping in Port d’Andratx
The harbour is ringed by steep rock with villas cut into it, which makes this one of the most demanding places on the island to build or keep a garden. Describe the property and we pass the request to companies that work these slopes.

Rock, salt and a road that decides the price
Soil depth on many of these plots is measured in centimetres, and where there is more it was usually imported. Planting therefore happens in built beds and containers far more often than in open ground, and the irrigation has to be designed for that.
Exposure is severe at the harbour mouth. Salt arrives on the wind rather than only as spray, and it burns the seaward side of anything soft leaved within a season, so the outer planting has to be genuinely tough.
Then there is access. Narrow switchback roads, steep private drives and tight turning space decide whether material comes by lorry or by hand, and on some plots by crane. It is the single biggest variable in a quote here.
What gardens here usually need
- Salt tolerant planting on the seaward side
- Built beds and large containers where there is no soil
- Retaining structures on steep plots
- Wind shelter around terraces and pool areas
- Marine grade fittings for lighting and irrigation
- Automatic irrigation, since containers dry fast
- Access planning before any material is ordered
- Maintenance for properties used only part of the year
Most requested here
Why do my plants brown on one side only?
That is salt burn rather than drought, and it always appears worst on the seaward face. More water does not fix it, different species and some shelter do.
Can machinery reach my plot?
Sometimes not, and that changes the method and the price. Photographs of the drive and the turning space help enormously when companies quote.
Is there enough soil to plant into?
Often not, and importing it is normal here. A company quoting should tell you how much and where it will go.
