Artificial Grass in Reserva del Higuerón

Hola, I am Álvaro Ferrer, project coordinator at TuExterior. Over the years, I have seen how the landscape of the Costa del Sol Occidental has transformed, and nowhere is this more evident than in the exclusive enclave of Reserva del Higuerón. Managing outdoor projects for a population of approximately 3,500 residents across both Fuengirola and Benalmádena, I understand the unique challenges of this hillside terrain. Whether you own a luxury apartment in the Med One or The Wave Collection, or a spacious villa in Las Lomas del Higuerón, installing artificial grass in Reserva del Higuerón is the most effective way to maintain a lush, green aesthetic year-round. This area is beautiful but demanding; the constant salt exposure from the Mediterranean and the intense southern sun can wreak havoc on natural lawns. My team specializes in high-density, UV-resistant turf that stays cool and vibrant even in the height of August. Regarding costs, in Reserva del Higuerón a artificial grass typically runs 12-35 €/m² including local labour, depending on the pile height and density required for your specific terrace or garden at the Hill Collection or near the Sport Club.

Regulations, Permits, and Local Compliance

Navigating the legalities of home improvements in Reserva del Higuerón requires a nuanced understanding of local bureaucracy, as the urbanization is uniquely split between two different municipalities. Depending on where your plot boundary lies, you fall under either the Fuengirola PGOU (Plan General de Ordenación Urbana) or the Benalmádena PGOU. This distinction is critical because building licenses (Licencia de Obra) and municipal taxes (ICIO) vary between the two town halls.

For most artificial grass installations, the work is classified as an "Obra Menor" (Minor Work) or a "Comunicación Previa." However, if your project involves significant earthmoving or structural changes to perimeter walls, a more formal permit is required. Furthermore, while we strictly adhere to the UNE-EN 13561 standard for related outdoor installations like awnings and pergolas to ensure safety and wind resistance, the grass itself must meet drainage standards to prevent runoff issues into neighboring plots. We handle the technical documentation required by the community of owners and the respective town halls to ensure your project is 100% compliant with local urbanistic laws.
