The 5 best landscaping services in Malta that enhance residential spaces
There’s truly something beautiful about a Maltese garden. While it’s a popular activity for both locals and expats, it can be difficult to start—especially when working with one that’s currently in disarray.
Landscaping services are great for situations like this. They are the best at overhauling decrepit backyards and transforming them into functional gardens that you can take care of.
But choosing a service is hard, so I have done the work for you. Here are Malta’s best landscaping services that truly help their clients fall in love with these small spaces of nature.
How much does landscaping cost in Malta?
Landscaping in Malta typically costs around €1,000 to €20,000. This will entirely depend on the size of the space, the type of landscaping, and any additional services that need to be applied.

Additionally, they can create civil works for clients, such as making pools or ponds.
However, they don’t offer free deliveries for plants, so be sure to add that to your calculations.

Contact Details: +356 2158 3755
Operating Hours:
- Monday to Sunday: 7:30 AM to 6:00 PM
Piscopo Gardens was the lovechild of Vinnie and Emanuel Piscopo and was fully manifest in 1994. The gardens have a vast range of trees, shrubs, and herbs, allowing clients to pick and choose which ones they’d want for their own.
Their services are great for new gardeners, as they help clients from start to finish. I have had them design a garden for me from scratch, and it included creative, innovative ideas that truly made the garden shine.
Some of their notable services include installing real or artificial turf, relocating trees, and controlling pests or diseases. They can also supply clients with soil and have a useful garden shop where clients can order their plants.
There’s also their dedicated flower and pet shop for all your floral and pet needs, perfect for garden owners who want to add a bit more life to their spaces. However, their plants tend to be more expensive than their competitors’.
This garden centre is a real gem
“This garden centre is a real gem. They have a wide variety of healthy plants, flowers, and trees, all beautifully maintained. The staff are knowledgeable, friendly, and always ready to give helpful advice on plant care. I also love their selection of pots, tools, and accessories—it’s a one-stop shop for anyone who enjoys gardening. Everything I’ve bought here has thrived, and the quality is consistently excellent.”

Very satisfied with both the office and the gardeners
“I got the best service and price from these people. Within a few hours they transformed my outdoor space from a jungle to a relaxing space. Very professional indeed. Already booked for next one. They even cleaned after they finished. It was like watching a fast forward clip on you tube of garden make over. Well done. Very satisfied with both the office and the gardeners job and support. Thank you.”

3. Callus Garden Centre
Address: SGW2600, Triq l-Imqabba, Siġġiewi
Contact Details: +356 2146 2229
Operating Hours:
- Monday to Sunday: 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM
Established in 2006, Callus Garden Centre partners with several local and international brands, including Halmann Vella and Lidl, to create the best gardens possible. They specialise in Vertical Gardens, which save space and are beautiful to look at.
These Vertical Gardens are great because they can be built on partition walls and help reduce flooding through irrigation techniques.
Callus Garden Centre even offers a variety of garden designs and maintenance services, as well as dedicated landscaping services. Their landscaping can easily transform a barren lot into a lush garden through their custom landscaping solutions and techniques.
It’s the unique Ecco products that truly make them shine. These are unique innovations that can improve soil water retention and increase plants’ ability to thrive. They can also create tree guards that will help prevent rodents from destroying them.
However, most of their plants are overpriced and are often only available as saplings.
Such a cute and quaint garden centre
“Such a cute and quaint garden center. May not be as big as others, but there are so many options. In fact, some of the plants I did not come across anywhere else. Especially loved the greenhouse area. Amazingly well kept, and looking forward to visit again in the future.”
– Steph Gingell, Google Review
Very good place to go for any indoor or outdoor plants
“Extremely good and friendly service. Very good place to go for any indoor or outdoor plants. They have herbs, vegetable seedlings, plants, trees, pots etc.”

4. The Garden Studio
Address: 82 Palm Street, Victoria VCT1304
Contact Details: +356 7967 6869
Operating Hours:
- Monday to Thursday: 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM
- Friday: 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM
- Saturday: 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM
The Garden Studio infuses natural elements into its landscaping, creating a unique atmosphere and design tailored to each client. Their services enhance exteriors and are exceptional because they are led by a dedicated landscape architect.
Suzie Samut Tagliaferro, the owner, has unmatched knowledge of plants and design, integrating local stones to create ornate pieces. They turn these hard materials into elaborate shapes, forms, and textures that truly make them shine.
Some of their notable projects include the sunken Gozo Garden, a true blend of hard materials and lush plants. These are achieved through on-site construction and dedicated landscaping and hardscaping techniques.
Additionally, they procure furniture and accessories that match the space, resulting in a beautiful blend that truly complements each other. However, they mainly work with residential projects, so commercial clients would need to look elsewhere.
The Garden Studio are excellent in everything that they do
“When I wanted to develop a roof garden, I knew that I could not do it on my own. I asked Suzie from The Garden Studio to help with the design and the eventual contracting of people to develop her design. The result is amazing. Suzie is very professional, creative and she listened to what we wanted. She eventually came up with a design that transformed our roof into a tranquil outdoor space. We now sit there and have breakfast, and in summer entertain family and friends. The Garden Studio are excellent in everything that they do.”

5. Ġungla | Plants Malta
Address: Naxxar, Naxxar
Contact Details: +356 9986 6049
Operating Hours:
- Monday to Saturday: 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM
Gungla is your dedicated shop for plants and landscaping. I like that they offer free deliveries for plants and that getting in touch with them is as easy as sending an email.
Since their establishment in 2021, they have been transforming terraces, balconies, and outdoor areas using local plants delivered straight to your doorstep.
What’s great about Gungla is that they handle everything and create dedicated plans at €50, fully deductible from the final project price. Additionally, they use local plants, which are perfect for the Maltese environment.
Their plant shop is great and offers free shipping for orders above €60. Aside from that, they are connected with irrigation specialists who can help revitalise gardens.
However, I found their services to be slower than others, and each project takes longer, but it is overall worth the final product.
Super happy with how my courtyard came
“Super happy with how my courtyard came! They understood exactly what I wanted. The team is very efficient and cleaned up after the work too.”
