Before choosing plants or paving, picture an ordinary day in your garden: where you will eat, which paths you will use and what you can maintain throughout the year. Garden design in Madrid should start with your actual space and routine, rather than copying an entire photograph.
Survey the space
Note dimensions, orientation, sunny and shaded areas, slopes, access and water points. Look for places where water collects and identify existing features you want to keep. On a terrace, check the building’s limitations before adding large planters or structures; available floor space alone does not establish suitability.
Share this information with the professional and arrange a visit when the ground or supporting surface needs assessment. A preliminary idea based on photographs is not the same as an installation-ready plan.
Choose uses before style labels
- Relaxing and eating: decide which furniture you need and allow room to move around it.
- Planting: describe the desired effect, exposure and time available for care.
- Movement: draw the routes you will actually take.
- Storage: allow space for tools, hoses or cushions.
- Upkeep: plan for pruning, cleaning and care while you are away.
Labels such as “Mediterranean” or “contemporary” can provide inspiration, but do not by themselves determine the plants, materials or water demand of a project.
Plan watering from the outset
Canal de Isabel II recommends watering according to plants’ needs and identifies automated drip irrigation as an option for managing water use. It also advises avoiding the middle of the day in summer. Request a plan for your particular plants and installation, with instructions for adjusting the schedule.
Compare proposals that name the planting, explain how it will be watered and identify who will check the system. A commercial label or a plant growing nearby is not enough to establish that it will be low-maintenance in your garden.
Artificial grass is a specific service
IberGrass advertises artificial-grass supply and installation for gardens, terraces and other settings. This specialism does not automatically include a complete landscaping project with planting, irrigation and construction. Confirm the scope available at your address.
If you are considering it, request a sample, the exact product reference and an explanation of base preparation, drainage, joints and cleaning. Ask about its suitability for the intended position and the manufacturer’s maintenance instructions. Do not choose it on the assumption that it will never need attention.
Put the proposal in writing
Request an agreed plan or sketch, material quantities, included and excluded work, waste removal, taxes, timing and maintenance terms. Establish who will check any permissions needed before work begins.
If you want to coordinate the garden with your home, prepare an interior design brief too. Business references here come from official websites and do not constitute a quality ranking.
