Landscaping & Garden Design in Chetumal: native plants, irrigation and garden lighting
We design and build gardens in Chetumal with native and adapted plants, real topsoil over the limestone, irrigation and lighting, then maintain them if you are away. Chetumal sits on a bay, so salt is milder than on the open coast, but heat and humidity are high and the city has been hit by hurricanes.
Our Landscaping Services
Landscape Design
Plans and 3D views with plant palette, paths, lighting and irrigation zones before anything is planted.
Native & Tropical Planting
Palms, chit and kuka palms, ziricote, bougainvillea, ferns and grasses chosen for sun, shade and salt exposure.
Garden Lighting
Low-voltage LED uplights, path lights and palm lighting, with waterproof connections that survive the rainy season.
Plants that suit the climate in Chetumal
The municipal network covers most of the city, with hard water that makes filters and softeners useful in bathrooms and kitchens. The plant palette, windbreaks and soil depth are chosen for this exposure, not copied from a catalogue.
Irrigation and water in Chetumal
Licences come from Othón P. Blanco municipality with established procedures; condominium and commercial buildings add their own administration rules. Drip lines, timers and storage are sized to this supply so the garden survives the dry season.
Materials, crews and access in Chetumal
Chetumal is about four hours from our workshops but has good local suppliers, so materials are bought locally and labour costs are lower than in the north.
Rentals and scheduling in Chetumal
Most properties are owner-occupied or long-term rentals, so works are scheduled with occupants.
Homes and owners in Chetumal
