How much does it cost to design a garden or terrace in Barcelona?

What determines the price of designing and building a garden or terrace in Barcelona: size, condition of the space, waterproofing, irrigation, plants and materials.

How much does it cost to design a garden or terrace in Barcelona? – Natural Gardens

In short: There is no fixed price: every garden or terrace is quoted to measure. The main factors are size, the condition of the space (waterproofing, drainage, load capacity), irrigation and lighting, the size of the plants and the materials. After a first visit we prepare a detailed quote that can be split into phases.

The factors that weigh most on the budget

  • Size and access. A balcony is not a hundred-square-metre roof, and a ground floor with direct access is not a penthouse where soil, planters and trees go up the stairs or by crane.
  • Condition of the space. On terraces and rooftops we check waterproofing, drainage and loads before planting. Any repairs come first.
  • Installations. Automatic drip irrigation, outdoor lighting and water and power points.
  • Plants. A large olive tree or a mature hedge gives an instant result; younger plants cost less and grow over the years.
  • Materials and furniture. Bespoke planters, paving, decking, pergolas and shade.

Design and build by the same team

At Natural Gardens our own team designs and builds, so the quote covers both phases and the finished garden looks like the approved design. See it in projects such as the Pedralbes rooftop terraces or the Bruc courtyard garden with pool.

How to adjust the budget without losing quality

  • Build in phases: waterproofing, irrigation and structure first; planting and furniture later.
  • Combine a few large pieces (a tree, a hedge) with younger plants around them.
  • Choose Mediterranean species that need little water and little upkeep.
