LA MENARA

GARDEN FURNITURE

It’s a joyous reawakening, and if you’re decorating a new home or thinking of giving new life to your garden and terrace, then now is the ideal time to start thinking about some outdoor decorating.

BENEFITS OF NATURE

The Norwegians use an expression: Friluftsliv, which is an amalgamation of the words for free, air and life, but it is probably best translated as ‘outdoors lifestyle’.

TERRACES

Since we live in a part of Europe where the climate allows us to spend many months of the year outdoors, the terrace presents an exciting Marbella lifestyle opportunity.

TROPICAL GARDENS

Marbella is an upmarket resort town that stands out for its climate, setting and lifestyle, and while the properties and amenities on offer here play a central role in this, the greenery that surrounds us in this beautiful corner of Europe cannot be underestimated either. Whether it’s the natural scenery that surrounds us or the private oases we create in our own gardens, both form part of what makes Marbella so special by providing gorgeous green zones in which to enjoy peace, privacy, spectacular views and enjoy the wonderful climate while relaxing, entertaining or exercising in the pool.

NEW STUDIO

The family-run landscaping company that has a proud history of creating living works of art not just in and around Marbella, but also in other regions of Spain and abroad.

POTS

The total area of your garden might span three acres of rural Andalusian countryside, or perhaps a more simple five metre balcony above the atmospheric cobbled streets of Marbella’s old town. Notwithstanding

CONCRETE AND PAVEMENTS

Beyond the expected greenery, flora and soil, the relatively grey materials of concrete and paving can be utilised to add genuine aesthetic appeal to any garden, no matter how large or small. There are also few green areas, whether private, residential or commercial, that wouldn’t benefit from a feature using rock or stone.

GRAVELS

There are of course many to choose from, but today we’d like to make the case for using gravel—a natural material that is consistently popular—and with good reason.

METALS

Think of gardens and what comes to mind are the gentler natural materials, such as wood, stone cork and clay, but metal is another option that is currently taking the landscaping world by storm.

LANDSCAPE DESIGN FOR HOTELS

In fact, hotel landscaping is fascinating in its own right, for while it tends to involve working on a significantly larger scale than on a private garden, there is far more to it than that. It involves far more, as the look, functionality and nature of a hotel is completely different.
