Landscaping
Terraces, paths, dry stone walls, pergolas and decking, built by our own crews.
- Duration
- Four to ten weeks
- Areas
- Sagunto to Dénia
Joan Ribera learned to build dry stone walls with his father in Sagunto, and the build crews still work the same way: local stone, laid by hand, made to outlast the house.
Paths, terraces and walls go in first, so the planting can start in the cool months on ground that is ready for it.
What is included
- Site clearing and levels
- Dry stone walls and retaining walls
- Paths, steps and terraces in natural stone
- Pergolas, decking and screens
- Drainage and soil preparation for planting
- Ten year guarantee on stone work

About landscaping
All questionsWhat people ask on the first visit.
Where does the stone come from?
From quarries within 100 km, and reclaimed stone whenever we can find it, so new walls sit with the old terraces around them.
Do you need a permit for walls?
Walls over a metre and pergolas often need a notice to the town hall. We prepare and file it as part of the quote.
Can you build without the design?
Yes, from your own plans or an architect's. We check them on site first and point out anything that would not last.
