Artificial Grass in Cerrado de Calderón

Hello, I am Álvaro Ferrer, project coordinator at TuExterior. If you are looking to transform your garden or terrace, installing artificial grass in Cerrado de Calderón is one of the most practical investments you can make for your home in this exclusive part of Malaga capital. Living in this comarca, specifically in the eastern district, means enjoying some of the best views of the Mediterranean, but it also presents unique challenges for landscaping. Whether your property is located near the lush pines of El Morlaco, the elevated plots of Hacienda Paredes, or the quiet streets of El Polvorín and Parque Clavero, the local environment is demanding. With a population of approximately 15,000 residents, this area is known for its steep terrain and proximity to the sea. The coastal salt exposure and the intense Andalusian sun quickly wither natural lawns, leading to high water bills and constant maintenance. In Cerrado de Calderón a artificial grass typically runs 12-35 €/m² including local labour, providing a lush, green sanctuary that stays perfect year-round without the struggle of traditional gardening in our specific microclimate.

Regulations and Permits for Exterior Projects

When undertaking home improvements in Cerrado de Calderón, it is essential to comply with local urban planning regulations to avoid fines or legal complications. All exterior installations in Malaga capital are governed by the Plan General de Ordenación Urbana (PGOU) and the emerging Plan General de Ordenación Municipal (PGOM). These regulations are particularly strict in the eastern district due to the steep slopes and the need to preserve the visual landscape of the coastline.

For the installation of artificial grass on private land, the process is generally straightforward. If the work is limited to replacing a natural lawn or covering a terrace, it is usually classified as an 'Actuación Comunicada' or a 'Comunicación Previa' for 'obra menor' (minor works). However, if your project involves significant structural changes, such as building high retaining walls or altering the plot's drainage system, you may require a more formal 'Licencia de Obra'. It is important to remember that Cerrado de Calderón is subject to strict building height limits and aesthetic guidelines to maintain the low-density character of the urbanisation. Additionally, while artificial grass itself is not a structural element, any accompanying sun shades or awnings we install must comply with the UNE-EN 13561 standard for wind resistance and safety. At TuExterior, we guide our clients through these local municipal ordinances to ensure every project is fully compliant with Malaga's planning laws.
