A low-maintenance Mediterranean garden is not a garden without care; it is a garden designed intelligently. Orientation, soil, drainage and everyday use should be assessed before plants or paving are chosen.
Keep the structure simple
Divide the exterior into a few clear areas for relaxing, circulation, planting and, where needed, a pool. Comfortable routes and a balanced proportion of hard landscaping and vegetation reduce future work.
Use climate-adapted plants
Lavender, rosemary, santolina, mastic, olive trees and ornamental grasses tolerate sun and provide year-round structure. Grouping plants with similar irrigation needs makes the system much more efficient.
Manage water and soil
Zoned drip irrigation delivers water directly to roots. Mineral or organic mulch retains moisture and suppresses weeds. Before planting, compacted soil should be corrected and reliable drainage must be ensured.
Choose durable materials
Natural stone, treated timber and non-slip paving age well when selected for their intended use. The result is a coherent garden that works in every season with predictable maintenance.
