Best Landscaping & Garden Companies in Mallorca: Design, Maintenance and Irrigation (2026)
A garden on Mallorca is not a lawn you mow on Sundays. It is olive and citrus trees, dry stone terraces, gravel and cactus, and an irrigation system that keeps all of it alive through a summer that can go months without rain. The right company decides whether it thrives or turns into a brown slope by July.
Plenty of people will cut a hedge. Fewer can design a garden that suits the climate, plant it so it survives, and keep it looking cared for afterwards. This guide covers the established names and how to pick between them.
In a hurry? Mallorca Landscapers runs a vetted network of Mallorca garden and landscaping companies. Describe your project once and several vetted local specialists send you free, no obligation quotes.
📌 Best garden company by what you need
- New garden from scratch: a design-led studio, or compare quotes to find the right fit

- Holiday rental or second home: a regular maintenance contract so it looks cared for year round

✅ How to choose a garden company in Mallorca
- Water comes first. Mallorca has real water restrictions. The companies worth hiring lean on Mediterranean, drought-tolerant planting and design efficient drip irrigation. Ask how they would keep your garden alive in August.
- Local plant knowledge is essential. Thin soil over limestone, salt air near the coast and fierce sun kill plants that thrive in a catalogue. An established local company already knows what survives.
- Permits can apply. Planting is usually fine, but terraces, dry stone walls, wells and work on rustic land can need permission. A serious company tells you before, not after.
Before you sign, check that:
- the quote covers design, ground prep, planting, irrigation and aftercare, not just plants
- the company can show established gardens in your part of the island
- the irrigation is built for efficiency, with drip lines, zoning and timers
- there is a maintenance or aftercare plan so the garden actually establishes

💶 What garden work costs in Mallorca
Garden budgets vary more than almost any job on a property, so the sensible move is to gather more than one quote. Here is what the main services usually cover and how they are priced:
| Service | What it includes | Usually priced |
|---|---|---|
| Garden design | concept, planting plan, layout | one-off project fee |
| Planting & ground prep | soil prep, plants, mulch, gravel | per project |
| Irrigation | drip lines, zoning, timers, controller | per project |
| Maintenance | pruning, weeding, watering checks, feeding | monthly contract |
| Tree & palm pruning | seasonal cuts, height reduction, palm cleaning | per visit |
| Dry stone walls & terraces | retaining walls, marès stonework, paths | per project |
What pushes the price up or down:
- size and slope of the plot
- how much hard landscaping (walls, terraces, paths) is involved
- mature specimen trees versus young plants that fill in over time
- irrigation complexity and the water source
- access for machinery and materials

Tip: plant in autumn or winter. Roots establish before the summer heat, which means far less water stress and a much higher survival rate.
❓ FAQ
Do I need a licence for garden or landscaping work in Mallorca?
For straightforward planting, usually not. But hard landscaping such as new terraces, dry stone walls, wells or cisterns, felling protected trees, and work on rustic land can require permission from your town hall. A reputable company will tell you when a permit is needed and often manage the application.
When is the best time of year to plant a garden in Mallorca?
Autumn. Planting in the cooler, wetter months gives roots time to establish before the summer heat, which means far less water stress and a much higher survival rate.
Can I have a beautiful garden with Mallorca’s water restrictions?
Yes, and the best gardens on the island are built around them. Mediterranean, drought-tolerant planting with efficient drip irrigation delivers a lush, established look on a fraction of the water a traditional lawn would need.
Is garden maintenance worth outsourcing for a holiday rental?
Usually, yes. Guests judge a property partly on its outdoor space, and a tidy garden carries the listing photos. Regular maintenance costs far less than a tired garden costs you in bookings.
