Hi all,
Can anyone recommend a good nursery for the following.
I am trying to establish some layout of garden, driveways etc to be getting established whilst constructing a house.
I need 20 palm trees of varying types and enough coverage plants ie bougainvillea type to grow into and cover 250 Mtr of fencing.
I also need advice from anyone who has seeded lawns on the Costa, what is the best grass seed to use.
Any advice is appreciated.

Please, please, don’t waste money and copious amounts of scarce water attempting to grow an English lawn here! It’s not grass country, far better to take advice on appropriate plants for the climate, which will cope with scorching summer temperatures and very cold winters.
In our area, watering systems, which you will find necessary for grass, are actually forbidden by the Ajuntamiento, so plants have to live or die by their own resources. Or save as much water as possible and trudge round with a watering can!

And don’t get me started on the ridiculous waste of water used by the permanent fountains drenching several enormous golf courses in a local town.

Good advice thank you.
We are building next to a fruit farm and have an agreed free water supply for irrigation.
Whilst free, I obviously still want to use sparingly and not like golf courses.
Hopefully I can get something established.
Think you will find golf courses use recycled water in Spain. I could be wrong but sure I read it somewhere before we came to live here.

Possibly, I don’t know. However, that’s still a hell of a lot of water!
