Questions

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.

Yes. An hour in the garden with Ingrid or one of the designers, anywhere from Sagunto to Dénia. You keep the notes and the rough range, with nothing to sign.

Only if you change the plan. The quote is fixed line by line, and anything we find underground, like old foundations or rock, is priced before we touch it.

A third when the design is approved, a third when the hard landscaping is finished, and the rest at handover. Care plans are billed monthly.

Often. Courtyards and terraces under 50 m² are some of our favourite gardens. Design is priced by size, so a small garden has a small fee.

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.

A design takes three to four weeks. Building takes from two weeks for a courtyard to four months for a large villa garden, most of it on the stone work.

No. Most clients give us a key and a gate code. The site lead sends photos at the end of each day and calls if a decision is needed.

Yes. The drawings are yours once the design fee is paid, with every measurement and plant needed to price the work.

We keep what is worth keeping, usually old trees, stone and good soil. Everything else is cleared, sorted and recycled, and the site is left clean every evening.

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.

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.

Less than you think. Our gardens use mostly Mediterranean and native plants on drip lines. Once settled, many need water once a week in summer and none in winter.

Yes, though we will suggest a tougher mix or a meadow for the parts nobody walks on. Both use a fraction of the water of a classic lawn.

Almost never. Healthy planting in the right place rarely needs them. When something does, we start with the gentlest option and tell you before we use it.

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.

Every two weeks from March to October and once a month in winter, on the same day and with the same gardener wherever possible.

Pruning, weeding, feeding, checking the irrigation, seasonal planting and clearing up. Larger jobs like tree work or new beds are quoted separately.

Yes, though a garden misses its gardener more than its owner. Many clients keep the plan running and get a short note with photos after each visit.

No. Plans run month to month and can be stopped with thirty days' notice.
