Firstly, the terrace slope was very steep: we removed most of the metal edges, which were ineffective and unattractive, and opted to reuse naturally-looking stones found on the property, creating a more level planting area. Secondly, the ivy that had grown for decades created a thick root mat, choking subsequent plants. Removing it was essential to make room for new planting, although additional soil was needed to compensate for soil loss, knowing that the ivy would likely regrow and ongoing maintenance would be required. The flower bed was in a shady area, where in some parts no light entered practically all day, so we used adapted plants such as <em data-start=\"1079\" data-end=\"1099\">cyrtomium falcatum<\/em>, <em data-start=\"1101\" data-end=\"1113\">ophiopogon<\/em> and <em data-start=\"1116\" data-end=\"1132\">carex morrowii<\/em>, while in the sunnier areas we incorporated santolinas, salvias, diomas, nanadinas, pittosporum, andromeda polifolia and astilbe. Finally, a generous layer of mulch was added to protect the soil and facilitate weeding.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4625dfe elementor-widget elementor-widget-vlt-spacer\" data-id=\"4625dfe\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;aos_animation_name&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"vlt-spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t<div class=\"vlt-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section data-img-position=\"\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-56e5ff5 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"56e5ff5\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;aos_animation_name&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div data-img-position=\"\" class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-69336af\" data-id=\"69336af\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;aos_animation_name&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-31d87a1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-vlt-justified-gallery\" data-id=\"31d87a1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;aos_animation_name&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"vlt-justified-gallery.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t<div class=\"vlt-justified-gallery\" data-row-height=\"250\" data-margins=\"30\" data-last-row=\"justify\">\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"vlt-simple-image\"><a class=\"vlt-simple-image__link\" data-fancybox=\"31d87a1\" href=\"https:\/\/anaolabarripaisajista.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/restauracion-bancales-durango-antes-1.jpg\"><span class=\"vlt-simple-image__overlay\"><svg class=\"\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 40 40\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M10 2.5V0H1.25C.56 0 0 .56 0 1.25V10h2.5V4.263l11.613 11.612 1.762-1.762L4.262 2.5H10ZM38.75 0H30v2.5h5.737L24.125 14.113l1.762 1.762L37.5 4.262V10H40V1.25C40 .56 39.44 0 38.75 0ZM37.5 35.737 25.887 24.125l-1.762 1.762L35.737 37.5H30V40h8.75c.69 0 1.25-.56 1.25-1.25V30h-2.5v5.737ZM14.113 24.113 2.5 35.736V30H0v8.75C0 39.44.56 40 1.25 40H10v-2.5H4.263l11.612-11.613-1.762-1.774Z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/anaolabarripaisajista.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/elementor\/thumbs\/restauracion-bancales-durango-antes-1-raynvi306vxpda7n1o026i5cm32hm7sem2460f7j80.jpg\" alt=\"restauracion bancales durango antes\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/a><\/div><div class=\"vlt-simple-image\"><a class=\"vlt-simple-image__link\" data-fancybox=\"31d87a1\" href=\"https:\/\/anaolabarripaisajista.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/restauracion-bancales-durango-despues-1.jpg\"><span class=\"vlt-simple-image__overlay\"><svg class=\"\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 40 40\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M10 2.5V0H1.25C.56 0 0 .56 0 1.25V10h2.5V4.263l11.613 11.612 1.762-1.762L4.262 2.5H10ZM38.75 0H30v2.5h5.737L24.125 14.113l1.762 1.762L37.5 4.262V10H40V1.25C40 .56 39.44 0 38.75 0ZM37.5 35.737 25.887 24.125l-1.762 1.762L35.737 37.5H30V40h8.75c.69 0 1.25-.56 1.25-1.25V30h-2.5v5.737ZM14.113 24.113 2.5 35.736V30H0v8.75C0 39.44.56 40 1.25 40H10v-2.5H4.263l11.612-11.613-1.762-1.774Z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/anaolabarripaisajista.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/elementor\/thumbs\/restauracion-bancales-durango-despues-1-rayntin9rh7wux3emt4ex06bgsuld7wt08j9je5gcw.jpg\" alt=\"restauracion bancales durango despues\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/a><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4afe642 elementor-widget elementor-widget-vlt-spacer\" data-id=\"4afe642\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;aos_animation_name&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"vlt-spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t<div class=\"vlt-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This project took place at a private residence in Durango after my second year of studies and presented several challenges.
