Landscaping for Developers and Architects in Mallorca
On a development or an architect led project the landscape package has to fit a programme, a drawing set and a budget that was fixed some time ago. Send the brief and we pass it to contractors used to working that way.

Landscape is the last trade on site
By the time the external works start, the programme has usually absorbed every delay upstream, the ground has been compacted by everything that drove over it, and the levels no longer match the drawing. A contractor who has done this before prices for that reality rather than for the drawing.
The services question is the other recurring one. Ducting for irrigation and lighting has to be coordinated with the building services, and on Mallorcan plots the difference between laying it before or after the terrace is a large number.
Getting a landscape contractor involved while the drawings are still being changed usually costs nothing and saves a redesign. It is also the point at which planting can still be reserved for the season it needs.
What developers and architects most often ask for
- Pricing against a drawing set and a specification
- Buildability comments before the drawings are fixed
- Coordination of ducting with the building services
- Ground remediation after construction traffic
- Planting reserved and grown on for the handover date
- Phased handover across plots or units
- Hard landscaping to the architect material palette
- Maintenance through the defects period

Good places to start
Can contractors price from drawings alone?
Usually yes for a budget figure, though most will want a site visit before a firm price, because access and existing levels change the method.
Can one contractor cover several plots?
Some can. Say the number of units and the programme in your request so it reaches companies with the capacity.
How far ahead should planting be reserved?
For mature specimens, months rather than weeks, and the planting season here runs autumn to early spring. Raise it early if the handover date is fixed.
