Garden & Landscaping in Mallorca

Regular garden maintenance costs from around €100-300 per month depending on garden size. Hourly rates are €20-35. Garden design and installation costs €2,000-15,000+.

In summer, watering is key – ideally with drip irrigation in the early morning or evening. Mulching reduces evaporation. Do not mow the lawn too short and choose heat-resistant plants.

Olive trees, almond trees, carob trees, citrus and orange trees, fig trees, pines and palms thrive in Mallorca. All are adapted to the Mediterranean climate with hot, dry summers.

A gardener in Mallorca charges around €15-25 per hour. Monthly garden maintenance contracts for a medium-sized garden (lawn mowing, hedge trimming, irrigation) cost around €200-400. Pool care is often offered as a combined package. For a complete garden redesign, expect €3,000-15,000 depending on size and planting.

Particularly suitable for Mallorca's climate are drought-resistant plants: olive trees, bougainvillea, lavender, rosemary, oleander, fig trees, pomegranates, and palms. Native plants (plantes autòctones) need less irrigation and are less prone to disease. Watering should be done via a drip system (riego por goteo), as water scarcity is an increasing issue in Mallorca.
