Inspired by Nature.
For more than 25 years, we have designed and built gardens inspired by nature, shaped by the light, dry summers, and the way people actually live outdoors on Mallorca. Water here is scarce, so we design with that in mind: drought-tolerant and native planting, irrigation sized to what the land genuinely needs, and materials sourced locally where we can.
We work with the land's own balance, its soil, its slopes, the trees already growing there, bringing the essence of authentic Mediterranean living to every project.
The Education of a Gardener: a garden isn't decided in a single meeting, but shaped through an ongoing conversation between designer, client, and the land itself.

The Complete Garden
Our process is phased and collaborative, in the same spirit landscape design has followed for centuries.
As the poet Alexander Pope urged nearly three hundred years ago, the starting point is always to consult "the genius of the place in all": understanding what a site already offers before deciding what to add to it.
We take on every part of a project ourselves- layout, hardscape, lighting, and planting-as one continuous design, keeping you closely involved from the first conversation through the final planting.
Our team of professional landscapers lets us take on a project at any scale, from an intimate courtyard to the grounds of a large finca.

Barbecue & Terrace Design
In Mallorca, outdoor living isn't a seasonal indulgence — it's the rhythm of daily life. We design terraces and gathering spaces that flow naturally from your home, blurring the line between interior and exterior.
The barbecue is designed as its own built structure, not an accessory — stone, render, or reclaimed materials that echo the main house, with counter space, storage, and height decided around how you actually cook and gather.
Around it, the terrace is shaped for real use: shaded dining, a lounge for evening light, materials like old roof tiles and hand-thrown zellige carried through from indoors, and lighting planned for the hours after sunset. Everything is chosen to hold up to sun and salt air, so the space ages well rather than wears down.
The result: a terrace that works as hard as any room in the house.

Outdoor Furnishings
The right furnishings turn a garden from something beautiful to look at into somewhere you actually live. From choosing the right fabric and parasols to producing original cushions and built-in sofas, we shape every outdoor detail ourselves, working with a select group of providers whose craftsmanship we trust.
Every piece is chosen and tested against the design and the landscape around it, so it belongs there.
Our bespoke outdoor fabric and textile selection lives at Casa Freer, our studio in Santa María del Camí — come see the fabrics and furnishings on display in person, and get a feel for how they'd work in your own garden.
Together, these pieces turn the garden into an outdoor room: a natural extension of the home.

How we do it / The Process
If we are honest, landscape is where our heart lives. A house can be drawn and built in two or three years; a garden takes a lifetime to become itself, and we love it for that.
-
The Visit
We begin with a visit to the site and a real conversation, not a form to fill out, time spent understanding how you live, what you're hoping for, and what the garden already has to offer.
Afterwards, we send a written brief: the fee structure, how the process will run, and a summary of what we've understood about your goals for the space.

-
The Concept
Next, we survey the site properly, its levels, its utilities, the shape of the land itself,and start sketching.
Concept designs come together in 2D , alongside moodboards that capture the feeling we're aiming for. At this stage we're working out the layout, not yet the details

-
The Masterplan
Once you're happy with the concept, we develop it into a full masterplan: layouts, materials, spatial arrangement, and the general character of the planting, so you get a real sense of what the finished garden will feel like to stand in.

-
The Detail
With the masterplan approved, we move into the technical drawings, setting-out plans, lighting positions, elevations, pergolas, barbecues, levels and cross sections, and anything needed to be estimated and produced. This is where the design becomes buildable.

-
The Planting
The planting plan sets out exactly what goes where, a full schedule of species, sizes, and quantities for ordering and costing, plus a moodboard so you can see the look we're building toward. We leave you with a maintenance schedule too, so the garden keeps looking the way it was designed to be.

-
The Build
This is where we take the build on ourselves. Our own team carries the work through, from the masterplan down to the last technical detail, and we stay on site throughout, resolving anything that comes up as the garden takes shape. Once construction is finished, we set out the plants and hand over a garden that's ready to live in.

Freer Living's landscape studio is a small team of in-house designers with a genuine passion for the land. The service began as a natural companion to our architecture and build projects, and has grown from there into a practice in its own right — still rooted in the same understanding of a property as a whole, inside and out.
We specialise in large Mallorcan finca gardens for one-of-a-kind properties, and take on smaller projects when the studio's availability allows. We work with private individuals and companies alike, across both residential and commercial landscapes, always within reach of Casa Freer, our studio and showroom in Santa María del Camí.
Every garden starts with the land itself — its climate, its stone, its light — and with the people who will live in it. We design landscapes that belong to their site and to the home they surround, built to hold up in Mallorca's climate and to age well alongside the property.

Craftmanship
Paula and her design team work with craftspeople who are familiar with traditional techniques, for the construction of dry stone walls, paths, sitting areas, pergolas and gates, all those key elements that bring to a garden a further layer of interest and complexity.
From these elements to the more ephemeral additions like pots, seats, benches, vintage ornaments, every one of them is carefully considered, designed and commissioned for each one of their designs.
These last but very important details are what after all set a garden apart and what give that unique atmosphere and sense of lived in that she is known for and her clients most love.
Our Philosophy
Gardens are ongoing lifetime projects, they require nurturing, they are forever changing and they can be moulded to our dreams.
Paula creates soft, lush and dreamy gardens, with a preference to creating garden rooms that compliment the architectural buildings within the projects.
She pays great attention to detail to both planting scheme and hardscape, with a preferable use of natural materials like stone and timber.
Landscape materials are sourced and selected locally, with the highest quality and existent materials are reused or repurposed, if possible.
Every design is a one off, and she likes to experiment with a mixture of both traditional and minimal designs, herbaceous borders, fields of grasses, fields of roses and native plants.
She likes to provide year round structure and interest, with the use of trained trees, topiary and garden boxes.
“Paula has the ability to draw out the essence of a place, which give her designs a particular aura and sense of belonging”
Farm to Table
When designing and building our clients' garden projects, we prioritize implementing the farm-to-table approach, which contributes to the sustainability and environmental friendliness of our projects.
By focusing on growing our own food and cultivating high-quality soil, we actively reduce our carbon footprint. Additionally, this approach ensures that our clients have access to fresh, nutritious produce right from their garden, promoting a healthier lifestyle.
We also provide education and ongoing support to help our clients maintain and maximize the yield of their vegetable gardens, fostering a deeper connection to the food they consume.
The vegetable area can be as large or small as one can keep, taking into account the maintenance needed to keep optimum production all year round.
Our aim is not only to create a productive garden but a beautiful one as well. Either with the use of raised beds, large round pots, or recycled material, we can create visually very attractive Vegetable gardens that are a delight to look at.
For those who are new to this approach, we often recommend starting small and incrementally increasing the m2 of planters as time goes by, therefore controlling the production as one needs.
