Hello, I am Álvaro Ferrer, project coordinator at TuExterior. If you are looking to transform your garden or terrace, you have come to the right place for premium artificial grass in La Cala de Mijas. Living here in the Costa del Sol Occidental comarca offers an enviable lifestyle, but maintaining a natural lawn amidst the salt exposure of our coastal area can be a constant struggle against the elements. Whether you own a villa in the heights of La Cala Hills, a modern apartment in Jardinana, or a frontline property in Torrenueva, our team understands the specific microclimate of Mijas. With a local population of approximately 44,000 residents, the demand for sustainable, low-maintenance landscaping has never been higher. We frequently work in prestigious areas like Calanova Golf and near the historic Butibamba, ensuring every installation withstands the intense Mediterranean sun. To give you a starting point, in La Cala de Mijas a artificial grass typically runs 12-35 €/m² including local labour, depending on the pile height and density you choose for your specific outdoor space.

Regulations and Permits in Mijas

When planning an outdoor renovation in La Cala de Mijas, it is essential to navigate the local legal framework to avoid fines. While installing artificial grass is generally considered a cosmetic improvement, any accompanying structures like pergolas or significant landscaping changes are governed by the UNE-EN 13561 standard for outdoor technical systems and the Mijas PGOU (Plan General de Ordenación Urbana).

In our municipality, most residential landscaping falls under the "Comunicación Previa" or "Obra Menor" (minor works) category. However, because La Cala is a coastal town, we must adhere strictly to the Ley de Costas and the regional LISTA (Ley de Impulso para la Sostenibilidad del Territorio de Andalucía). This means that properties located near the shoreline are subject to specific coastal protection setbacks where certain types of permanent installations are restricted. We always advise checking with the Mijas Town Hall technical department if your project involves changing the soil permeability or adding permanent structures, as the PGOU is quite specific about the percentage of green space required on private plots to manage rainwater runoff effectively.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does artificial grass cost in La Cala de Mijas?
The total investment typically ranges between 12 and 35 euros per square metre when including professional labour. This price variation accounts for the quality of the synthetic turf—measured by stitch rate and Dtex—and the complexity of the ground preparation required, which is often higher in the rocky or sloped terrains found around Calanova Golf.
Do I need a licence for artificial grass in Mijas?
For a simple replacement of natural grass with artificial turf on a private plot, a full building licence is rarely required. However, under the Mijas PGOU, if the work involves significant excavation or changes to the drainage system of the plot, you should file a "Comunicación Previa" at the Ayuntamiento to ensure you are compliant with local urbanisation rules.
How long does the installation take?
Most residential projects in areas like La Cala Hills or Torrenueva are completed within 2 to 4 days. The first day is usually dedicated to removing the old sod and preparing the crushed stone base, while the subsequent days focus on the precision laying, joining, and brushing of the grass.
Do you cover all areas of La Cala de Mijas?
Yes, TuExterior operates throughout the entire La Cala district and surrounding Mijas Costa areas. We have active projects ranging from the beachfront apartments near the Torre de La Peña to the expansive villa estates in the upper reaches of the valley and the various golf valley communities.
What warranty do you provide?
We offer a dual warranty system for our clients in La Cala de Mijas. The product itself carries a manufacturer’s warranty against UV fading and fibre loss for 8 to 10 years, while TuExterior provides a specific installation warranty to ensure the seams and drainage work perfectly under local weather conditions.
Is artificial grass safe for pets in the Costa del Sol heat?
Absolutely. We install high-permeability turf that allows pet waste to be hosed away easily. To combat the high temperatures of the Costa del Sol Occidental, we recommend a light sprinkling of water during peak summer hours or the use of specific infills that help retain moisture and keep the surface cool for paws.
How does the sea air affect the grass?
Unlike natural grass, which often suffers from salt burn in frontline coastal areas like Butibamba, our high-quality synthetic fibres are chemically inert. They do not react to the salt spray from the Mediterranean, meaning your lawn will remain vibrant and green without the yellow patches common in seaside natural gardens.
