Hi, anyone recommend good gardener who can design and install low maintenance garden to our terrace area around pool, as pictures,we are in the Moraira area, or any ideas that would suit please send.
Thanks in advance

dont know any gardners but think a trip to your local garden centre to buy some large pots filled with colourful plants would look lovely ...and easy to maintain

Have a look in the Free Beer section, there is a little bit of advice on pool planting...

Your only option seems to be pots and troughs.

Just be careful of your choice of plants - if they shed their leaves and flowers you will have a real pool cleaning problem - especially if the wind picks up. We have large flower beds around our pool and after a windy day it looks like the Ganges after a funeral!

The other consideration is irrigation. Pots will need to be watered daily in July/August. If you can get a discreet irrigation system put in with drips for each pot it will save you hours of labour. If you are going to leave the place for more than a few days it is essential.
