Drought-tolerant and Mediterranean landscaping is increasingly mandatory as water restrictions tighten under the Júcar River Basin Authority. Garden irrigation system efficiency is a major focus. Coastal urbanizaciones need salt-tolerant planting schemes, and palm tree maintenance (including processionary caterpillar treatment) is a distinct service category.
