Landscaping & Garden Design in Puerto Morelos: native plants, irrigation and garden lighting
We design and build gardens in Puerto Morelos with native and adapted plants, real topsoil over the limestone, irrigation and lighting, then maintain them if you are away. Houses by the sea get salt and wind, while the jungle side is humid and shaded, so the same house type needs different paint, metal and garden specifications depending on the side of the highway.
Our Landscaping Services
Native & Tropical Planting
Palms, chit and kuka palms, ziricote, bougainvillea, ferns and grasses chosen for sun, shade and salt exposure.
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.
Plants that suit the climate in Puerto Morelos
Town water reaches most of the coast, but jungle lots often depend on wells and cisterns, so filtration and storage are part of most bathroom and garden projects. The plant palette, windbreaks and soil depth are chosen for this exposure, not copied from a catalogue.
Irrigation and water in Puerto Morelos
Puerto Morelos has been its own municipality since 2016 and issues its own licences; the beach strip is under ZOFEMAT and the reef national park, and gated communities add HOA rules. Drip lines, timers and storage are sized to this supply so the garden survives the dry season.
Rentals and scheduling in Puerto Morelos
Rental demand is growing but calmer than in Cancún or Tulum, which makes it easier to schedule work in occupied homes.
Materials, crews and access in Puerto Morelos
Puerto Morelos is about 30 minutes from our workshops and close to Cancún suppliers, so materials arrive quickly and crews can return daily.
Homes and owners in Puerto Morelos
Puerto Morelos mixes the quiet fishing town by the beach, new gated communities and condos on both sides of the highway and jungle lots along the Ruta de los Cenotes, with many owners renovating older beach houses.
