Hello, I am Álvaro Ferrer, project coordinator at TuExterior. Living and working across the Costa del Sol Occidental, I have seen firsthand how the intense Mediterranean sun and the salty sea breeze can turn a natural lawn into a constant struggle. If you are looking for high-quality artificial grass in Riviera del Sol, you have come to the right place. This beautiful residential area, home to approximately 6,500 residents, is one of the most diverse pockets of Mijas. Whether you own a penthouse in Lomas de Riviera with a terrace overlooking the sea, or a villa in Riviera del Sol Alta near the golf course, we understand the specific challenges of this terrain. From the windy heights of Altos de Riviera to the family communities in Riviera Park and the established gardens of Miraflores, we provide solutions that stay green year-round despite the salt exposure. In Riviera del Sol 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.

How we work

Step 1: Initial Contact

Reach out via our website or phone to discuss your vision; we will ask a few questions about your surface type and the size of the area in Riviera del Sol.

Step 2: Site Visit & Measuring

I will personally visit your property in Lomas de Riviera or Miraflores to take precise measurements, assess the drainage requirements, and show you physical samples of our turf.

Step 3: Free Detailed Quote

Within 24-48 hours, you will receive a transparent, no-obligation quote that includes all materials, ground preparation, and expert labour costs.

Step 4: Professional Installation

Our local crew handles everything from excavating the old soil to the final silica sand infill, ensuring a seamless finish that withstands the Mijas sun.

Regulations and Permits for Outdoor Improvements

When upgrading your property in Riviera del Sol, it is essential to understand the local legal framework. As part of the Mijas municipality, all exterior works are governed by the Mijas PGOU (Plan General de Ordenación Urbana) and the regional LISTA regulations (Ley de Impulso para la Sostenibilidad del Territorio de Andalucía). For a standard installation of artificial grass on private garden soil, the process is generally straightforward. However, if your project involves structural changes, such as building perimeter walls or leveling sloped plots—which are very common in the hilly terrain of Riviera del Sol Alta—you must adhere to strict building height limits.

For simple landscaping, you usually only need to file a "Comunicación Previa" or an "Obra Menor" permit at the Mijas Town Hall. This ensures your project is registered and compliant with local aesthetic standards. Furthermore, if your project includes complementary features like retractable awnings or pergolas, we ensure compliance with the UNE-EN 13561 standard, which regulates the wind resistance and safety of solar protection systems. We always recommend checking with your Community of Owners (Comunidad de Propietarios), especially in dense urbanisations like Riviera Park, to ensure the shade of green and the installation style match the community's bylaws.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does artificial grass cost in Riviera del Sol?
The investment generally ranges between 12 €/m² and 35 €/m² including professional installation. The final price depends on the quality of the grass—measured by "Dtex" and stitch rate—and the complexity of the ground preparation. For example, a flat terrace in Miraflores is cheaper to prepare than a sloped, rocky garden in the upper parts of Riviera.
Do I need a licence for artificial grass in Mijas?
For replacing a natural lawn with artificial turf on a private plot, a full building licence is rarely required, but a "Comunicación Previa" (prior notification) to the Mijas Ayuntamiento is the correct legal path for an "obra menor". This protects you from potential fines and ensures your home insurance remains valid for the exterior areas.
How long does the installation take?
Most residential projects in Riviera del Sol are completed within 2 to 4 days. A standard 50-square-meter garden usually takes two days: one day for ground preparation (removing old grass, adding aggregate, and compacting) and one day for laying the turf, joining the seams, and brushing in the infill.
Do you cover all areas of Riviera del Sol?
Yes, we provide full coverage across the entire area, from the coastal strip near the Max Beach area up to the highest points of Lomas de Riviera and Altos de Riviera. We also frequently work in the neighbouring areas of Calahonda and La Cala de Mijas.
What warranty do you provide?
We offer a dual warranty. The artificial grass itself comes with a manufacturer's warranty ranging from 8 to 15 years against UV fading and fibre degradation. Additionally, TuExterior provides a 2-year installation warranty covering the seams, drainage performance, and base stability.
Is artificial grass suitable for homes with pets in Riviera?
Absolutely. Many residents in Riviera Park and Miraflores choose our turf specifically because it is pet-friendly. It features a perforated backing for superior drainage, making it easy to clean with a hose. It is much more hygienic than natural grass, which often becomes muddy or patchy in the high-traffic areas where dogs play.
How does the grass handle the salt and heat of the Costa del Sol?
Our products are specifically designed for the Mediterranean climate. They are treated with high-grade UV stabilisers to prevent the "bleaching" effect of the Mijas sun. Regarding the salt exposure common in coastal areas like Riviera del Sol, the synthetic fibres are inert and will not corrode or change colour like natural vegetation might when exposed to sea spray.
