Garden Renovation in Mallorca

Renovation is the awkward middle ground between tidying a garden and rebuilding it. Tell us what is there now and what you want instead, and we pass the request to companies on Mallorca that take on this kind of work.

What is worth keeping and what is not

A garden left alone for a few seasons is rarely a blank site. Mature olives, carobs and pines are usually worth building the new layout around, since replacing that much shade costs far more than working with it. Old irrigation is usually worth taking out, because a patched system with an unknown history fails at the worst possible moment.

Hard surfaces divide the same way. A sound dry stone wall can be repointed and reused. Cracked concrete edging laid over a root plate is cheaper to remove than to disguise.

A renovation quote worth comparing says clearly which of these it assumes. Two prices for the same garden can differ by a third simply because one includes taking the old surfaces away and the other leaves them for you. Most of these jobs are on private villas, where the garden was planted once and then left to a maintenance contract for twenty years.

What a renovation request usually covers

  • A survey of what is growing and what condition it is in
  • Clearance of dead, overgrown or invasive planting
  • Tree and palm work, including removals
  • An assessment of the existing irrigation
  • Repair or removal of old walls, steps and paving
  • New planting matched to the water available
  • Soil improvement and mulching
  • Disposal of green and building waste

Garden renovation checklist

What to work out before you ask anyone to price it.

Is renovation cheaper than starting again?

Usually, though not always. Once most of the hard surfaces and the irrigation have to go, the saving narrows to the mature planting you keep. Ask each company to price both if you are unsure.

What time of year should a renovation happen?

Autumn and winter suit planting here, because roots establish before the heat arrives. Hard landscaping can run all year, though summer work on an occupied holiday property is worth avoiding.

Can I renovate in stages?

Yes, and it is common. The order matters: anything involving digging should come before new surfaces and planting, or the new work gets lifted again.
