Artificial Grass in Los Boliches

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.
