Hola, I am Álvaro Ferrer, project coordinator at TuExterior. With a population of nearly 49,000 residents, the vibrant hub of Las Lagunas de Mijas is one of the most dynamic areas within the Costa del Sol Occidental. Whether you are living in the established streets of El Albero and Doña Ermita, or enjoying the more spacious plots in Las Cañadas and La Sierrezuela, maintaining a lush green garden can be a challenge. The intense Mediterranean sun and the proximity to the sea mean that coastal areas with salt exposure often struggle with natural lawn maintenance. This is why installing high-quality artificial grass in Las Lagunas de Mijas has become the preferred choice for many international residents looking for a year-round green oasis without the high water bills. At TuExterior, we specialise in transforming terraces in El Coto and patios across the municipality into durable, beautiful spaces. Regarding costs, you should know that in Las Lagunas 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 project.

Regulations and Permits for Exterior Improvements

When planning an exterior renovation in Las Lagunas de Mijas, it is essential to understand the local regulatory framework to avoid future complications. While laying artificial grass is generally considered a cosmetic improvement, any structural additions like pergolas or significant landscaping changes are subject to the Mijas PGOU (Plan General de Ordenación Urbana) and Andalusia's regional law, known as LISTA (Ley de Impulso para la Sostenibilidad del Territorio de Andalucía).

For most residential projects in urban plots, the process is relatively straightforward. A "Comunicación Previa" or an "Obra Menor" (minor works) license is typically required if you are modifying the hardscaping or drainage of the plot. If your project includes awnings or solar protection, we ensure compliance with the UNE-EN 13561 standard, which regulates the safety and performance requirements for external blinds and shutters. Because Las Lagunas is a densely populated urban area, the municipal ordinance is quite specific about water runoff and ensuring that your garden improvements do not negatively impact the public drainage system. At TuExterior, we guide our clients through these administrative steps to ensure every installation is fully legal and compliant with Mijas Town Hall standards.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does artificial grass cost in Las Lagunas de Mijas?
The total investment for a professional installation generally ranges between 12 €/m² and 35 €/m². This price includes the premium turf material, the necessary ground preparation (such as removing existing vegetation and adding a crushed stone base), and the skilled labour required for a seamless finish. The final price depends largely on the "Dtex" (density) of the grass and the complexity of the area's perimeter.
Do I need a licence for artificial grass?
For a simple replacement of natural grass with artificial turf on a private plot, a formal building permit is often not required, but it is always advisable to file a 'Comunicación Previa' at the Mijas Town Hall. However, if your project involves significant earthmoving, changing floor levels, or installing permanent structures like pergolas, an 'Obra Menor' license is mandatory under the Mijas PGOU. We can help you determine exactly what your specific project needs.
How long does the installation take?
Most residential gardens in areas like La Sierrezuela or El Coto are completed within 24 to 48 hours. The first day is usually dedicated to site preparation, which is the most critical phase to ensure proper drainage. The second day involves laying the turf, securing the joins, and adding the silica sand infill. Larger community projects or complex commercial spaces may take longer, but we always provide a clear timeline before starting.
Do you cover Las Lagunas de Mijas?
Yes, we provide full coverage across the entire Las Lagunas district and the wider Mijas Costa area. We frequently work in neighbourhoods such as Doña Ermita, El Albero, and Las Cañadas. Being local to the Costa del Sol Occidental allows us to respond quickly to site visits and provide ongoing support to our clients in the Mijas municipality.
What warranty do you provide?
We offer a dual warranty for peace of mind. Our high-grade artificial grass comes with a manufacturer’s warranty ranging from 8 to 15 years against UV discoloration and fibre degradation. Additionally, TuExterior provides a 2-year installation warranty covering the workmanship, ensuring that your seams remain tight and your drainage functions perfectly even after the heavy autumn rains we sometimes see in Málaga.
Is artificial grass safe for pets and children in the heat?
Absolutely. Our products are non-toxic, lead-free, and designed to be "pet-friendly," meaning they don't trap odours if rinsed occasionally. Regarding the heat, while artificial grass can get warm under the direct Mijas sun, we recommend a quick 2-minute spray with a hose to significantly drop the temperature. Our high-quality fibres are designed with "cool-shape" technology to dissipate heat more effectively than budget alternatives.
How does the grass handle the salty air in Mijas Costa?
One of the biggest advantages of artificial grass in coastal regions like ours is its resilience. Unlike natural grass, which can suffer from salt burn and yellowing near the sea, our synthetic fibres are chemically inert. They are not affected by the salt spray or the high humidity characteristic of the Costa del Sol. A simple occasional rinse with fresh water is all that is needed to keep the surface looking vibrant and clean.
