Our Services

Design & consultation

Every garden tells a story. Whether you’re starting from a blank canvas or reimagining an existing space, we design with your lifestyle, taste, and Mallorca’s natural rhythms in mind. From historical landscape influences to the latest planting techniques, our designs bring year-round beauty, comfort, and sustainability.

Garden maintenance

A thriving garden is never static—it evolves. We combine traditional craftsmanship with modern regenerative methods, tailoring care to each plant’s unique needs. The result is lush, healthy gardens that look their best in every season.

Forestry & land stewardship

From restoring native ecosystems to rejuvenating orchards, we create bespoke land management plans rooted in history, ecology, and long-term sustainability. Services include soil regeneration, terrace restoration, native replanting, and forest care.

Irrigation solutions

Water is the lifeblood of the Mediterranean garden, a vital resource that must be cherished and used with care. A good system means that plants can thrive through the harshest conditions, every drop being put to best use. From small battery-operated valves to commercial level multi-zone intelligent systems, we work with the best quality manufacturers and follow up with the necessary maintenance to ensure ongoing peace of mind.

About us

Zissou Gardens was founded by Jess and Jack who have turned their lifelong love of nature and the outdoors into a thriving, professional garden design studio, landscaping and maintenance company.

A husband-and-wife team, who left their home island of Guernsey to arrive in Mallorca in 2019. The appreciation of the unique style of island life was already deep in their psyche and the outdoors lifestyle, slower pace, living in tune with the seasons and appreciation of natural beauty that they found in Mallorca made settling in effortless.

“Jack and Jess designed and created the most beautiful garden around our house which has become our paradise. We started with a totally desolate piece of scrubland which nothing would grow on. They dug out areas, moved huge rocks, brought in healthy soil , gravel, planted trees and a multitude of wonderful plants. They understood our vision completely and executed it perfectly. They were a joy to work with and their garden has become our happy place.”
