Fourteen gardeners, two designers and a nursery of our own. We plant rosemary, olive, lavender and wild grasses that belong on this coast, and we stay on long after the build to look after them.

All projectsPhotographed the summer after planting, when the garden has had a year to settle in.
Planted for the sun. Made to need less water.
Native and Mediterranean species, deep mulch and drip lines on a timer. Our gardens use about 60% less water than a lawn, and every plant has a two-year guarantee.

In their words
All reviews4.9 on average from 212 reviews, most of them from gardens we still look after.
“Our terrace was a slab of hot concrete. Now we eat out there from March to November, under the olive they planted.”
Lucía Ferrer
“We used to water the lawn every evening in July. The new garden gets a drip twice a week and has never looked better.”
Pau Vidal
“The quote was exact to the euro. Same crew from the first stone to the last plant, and they still come every two weeks.”
Giulia Romano

Lighting a garden at night
Fewer lights, lower down, warmer in colour. How we light a garden so it can be used after dark without lighting up the neighbours.
A lawn that survives August
Meadow mixes of native grasses and wild flowers, mown four times a year and watered almost never.
Drip lines, explained
How we size an irrigation system, where the water goes, and the controller settings for each season.
Questions, answered
All questionsThe ones that come up on every first visit.
How much does a new garden cost?
It depends on the size, the stone work and the irrigation. The first visit is free and ends with a rough range; a fixed quote follows the design, line by line.
Do I need a permit?
Planting never does. Walls over a metre, pergolas and pools often need a notice to the town hall. We prepare and file the paperwork as part of the quote.
When is the best time to plant?
Autumn, from October to December, when the soil is still warm and the rains arrive. Spring works too. We build the hard landscaping in summer so planting can start on time.
What does the plant guarantee cover?
Every plant we put in is replaced free if it fails within two years, as long as the irrigation we installed stays on. On a care plan, the guarantee never ends.
Can you take over a garden someone else built?
Yes. We start with a visit and a tidy-up quote, then move it onto a care plan. Many of our care clients came to us this way.
