FAQ

For a low-maintenance garden beneath mature trees, aim for a space of at least 100 square meters. This allows sufficient room for heat-tolerant plants while ensuring they receive adequate light and moisture without overcrowding.

A Mediterranean garden emphasizes natural beauty with drought-resistant plants, earthy materials, and a serene layout. Incorporate native flora and simple pathways to enhance the tranquil atmosphere while respecting the existing tree canopy.

Choose plants that thrive in partial shade and require minimal watering. Use mulch or gravel for ground cover to suppress weeds and simplify leaf cleanup during the fall, ensuring the garden remains tidy and manageable.

Begin by selecting appropriate plants that can withstand heat and drought. Plan the layout to complement existing trees, ensuring easy access for maintenance. Regularly assess plant health and adjust care as needed to maintain the garden's integrity.
