Landscaping & Garden Design on Cozumel: native plants, irrigation and garden lighting
We design and build gardens on Cozumel with native and adapted plants, real topsoil over the limestone, irrigation and lighting, then maintain them if you are away. The island takes salt and wind from every side and has been hit by strong hurricanes, so metal, windows, paint and garden structures need marine-grade materials and hurricane fixing.
Our Landscaping Services
Irrigation Systems
Drip lines and sprinklers on timers, with filters for hard water and connection to cisterns or treated greywater.
Hardscape
Paths, stepping stones, retaining walls, planters, fire pits and pool decks in stone, concrete or wood.
Garden Maintenance
Pruning, fertilising, pest control and hurricane preparation for villas, condos and hotels.
Plants that suit the climate on Cozumel
Water on the island is hard and supply can be irregular, so cisterns, softeners and filters are standard and fittings must tolerate scale. The plant palette, windbreaks and soil depth are chosen for this exposure, not copied from a catalogue.
Irrigation and water on Cozumel
Works are licensed by Cozumel municipality; the coast is under ZOFEMAT and parts of the island are protected, and condo buildings have their own administration rules. Drip lines, timers and storage are sized to this supply so the garden survives the dry season.
Homes and owners on Cozumel
Cozumel has family homes in San Miguel, waterfront condos and villas along the west coast and many dive-tourism rentals, with steady demand for bathrooms, floors, paint and storm repairs.
Materials, crews and access on Cozumel
Crews and materials cross on the car ferry from Playa del Carmen; we load full trucks, plan stays of several days and keep the most-used materials in stock on site.
Rentals and scheduling on Cozumel
Dive and cruise tourism keeps rentals busy all year, so we usually renovate one unit or room at a time.
