Hello, I am Álvaro Ferrer, project coordinator at TuExterior. If you are looking to transform your terrace or garden, you have come to the right place for high-quality artificial grass in Los Boliches. Living here in the Costa del Sol Occidental, we enjoy an incredible climate, but the intense sun and coastal humidity can make maintaining a natural lawn a constant battle. Los Boliches is a unique enclave within Fuengirola, with a population of approximately 18,000 residents who value their outdoor living spaces, from the traditional streets near the Playa de los Boliches to the newer developments in areas like Las Chozas and the borders of Los Pacos and San Francisco.

In this coastal area with salt exposure, natural grass often suffers from salinity and high water consumption. That is why many of your neighbours are switching to synthetic solutions that stay green year-round without the stress of irrigation. Regarding costs, in Los Boliches a artificial grass typically runs 12-35 €/m² including local labour, depending on the pile height and fibre density you choose. My role is to ensure that your project, whether it is a small penthouse balcony near the train station or a larger garden in the quiet residential pockets, is executed with technical precision and the best materials available on the Spanish market.

How we work

  1. Contact and initial consultation: Reach out to us via phone or our web form to discuss your specific needs and the type of surface you currently have in your Los Boliches property.
  2. Site visit and measuring: I will personally visit your home to take exact measurements, assess drainage requirements, and bring physical samples so you can feel the texture and see the colours in your own light.
  3. Free quote and planning: We provide a detailed, no-obligation estimate including all materials and professional labour, tailored to the specific dimensions of your terrace or garden.
  4. Professional installation: Our local team handles everything from ground preparation and weed membrane installation to the final brushing and infill, typically completing the work in just one or two days.

Regulations and Permits for Outdoor Installations

When planning an outdoor renovation in Los Boliches, it is crucial to understand that we fall under the jurisdiction of the Fuengirola Town Hall (Ayuntamiento). The local urban planning is governed by the Fuengirola PGOU (Plan General de Ordenación Urbana), which dictates what can be built or modified on private property. For the installation of artificial grass, this is generally considered an "obra menor" (minor work) if it only involves replacing a surface. However, if your project includes structural changes, such as new drainage systems or raised platforms, a formal Comunicacion Previa or a minor works licence may be required to ensure compliance with local building codes.

Furthermore, for those lucky enough to live in frontline properties near the promenade, we must respect the Ley de Costas (Coastal Law), which imposes strict regulations on modifications within the protection zone of the maritime-terrestrial public domain. While artificial grass is non-permanent and usually faces no issues, any accompanying structures like pergolas or awnings must adhere to the Spanish standard UNE-EN 13561 to ensure safety against wind loads. If you live in a community of owners (Comunidad de Vecinos) in areas like San Francisco or Las Chozas, you should also check your internal bylaws, as some buildings have specific rules regarding the aesthetic uniformity of balconies and terraces visible from the street.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does artificial grass cost in Los Boliches?
The price generally ranges between 12 €/m² and 35 €/m² for a full installation. This variation depends on the quality of the turf—such as the "memory effect" of the blades and softness—and the complexity of the surface preparation. A simple installation on a flat tiled terrace will always be more cost-effective than a project requiring significant earth removal and gravel base preparation in a garden.
Do I need a licence for artificial grass?
For a standard installation of artificial grass on an existing floor or garden, you typically do not need a major building permit. However, under the Fuengirola PGOU, if the work involves significant landscaping or changing the footprint of the property, a "Comunicación Previa" to the Town Hall is recommended. We can advise you on whether your specific project requires this simple notification based on local municipal ordinances.
How long does the installation take?
Most residential projects in Los Boliches are completed within 24 to 48 hours. A terrace of 30-40 square meters can usually be finished in a single day. Larger garden projects that require ground excavation, weed barrier placement, and the distribution of aggregate sub-bases may take two to three days depending on the accessibility of the site.
Do you cover all areas of Los Boliches?
Yes, we provide full service throughout the entire Los Boliches district and surrounding Fuengirola areas. This includes the high-density apartment blocks near the beach, the residential streets of Las Chozas, the transition zones toward Los Pacos, and the quieter villas near San Francisco. We are familiar with the logistical challenges of the narrow streets in the old town and have the equipment to handle installations in all these locations.
What warranty do you provide?
We offer a double guarantee for your peace of mind. The manufacturer’s warranty on the grass fibres typically ranges from 8 to 10 years against UV degradation and colour loss, which is essential given the high solar radiation in Málaga. Additionally, TuExterior provides a 2-year installation warranty covering the seams, drainage performance, and the stability of the base we have prepared.
Is artificial grass safe for pets and children in the Málaga heat?
Absolutely. The products we install are non-toxic and lead-free. While synthetic surfaces can get warm in the peak of the Málaga summer, a quick spray with a hose for 30 seconds significantly drops the temperature through evaporation. Our grass is also designed with high permeability, so pet waste can be easily cleaned and washed away without leaving odours or stains.
How does the coastal salt air affect the grass?
Unlike natural grass, which can turn yellow or die due to salt spray (salitre) from the Mediterranean, our high-quality synthetic fibres are chemically inert. They do not react to salt exposure, making them an ideal choice for frontline properties in Los Boliches. The only maintenance required is an occasional rinse with fresh water to remove any salt crust that might dull the shine of the blades.
