Landscaping & Garden Design in Alboraya

Hello, I am Álvaro Ferrer, project coordinator at TuExterior. If you are looking to transform your garden or terrace, our team provides expert landscaping in Alboraya tailored specifically for the unique conditions of the Horta Nord comarca. With a population of approximately 24,946 residents, Alboraya is a vibrant community where outdoor living is a way of life, from the iconic colourful canals of Port Saplaya to the modern beachfront apartments of La Patacona and the traditional villa areas like El Calvet or the town centre near Desamparados. However, being a coastal area means your garden faces specific challenges, particularly high salt exposure and humidity that can corrode standard materials and wither non-native plants. We specialise in selecting salt-tolerant species and marine-grade structures that thrive in this Mediterranean microclimate. Whether you have a small balcony overlooking the Mar or a large plot in the huerta, we ensure your space is both beautiful and durable. Regarding investment, in Alboraya a landscaping typically runs 30-120 €/m² including local labour, depending on the complexity of the design and the materials selected.

Regulations and Permits for Landscaping in Alboraya

Navigating the legal requirements for outdoor renovations in Alboraya is essential to avoid fines and ensure the longevity of your project. The granting of building permits (licencias de obra) in Alboraya is subject to the municipal urban planning regulations, which were re-established in 2021 following a review of the General Plan (PGOU) of 1991. This updated framework governs what can be built, especially in protected areas of the "huerta" or near the coastline.

For most landscaping projects, such as installing irrigation, planting, or laying new turf, the requirements are minimal. However, if your project involves structural changes, such as building high perimeter walls, installing large pergolas, or creating permanent outdoor kitchens, you will likely need to apply for an 'Obra Menor' (Minor Works) permit at the Alboraya Town Hall (Ayuntamiento). This is a relatively straightforward process that involves submitting a description of the work and a budget.

Furthermore, if your project includes the installation of solar protection like awnings or vertical screens, we strictly adhere to the UNE-EN 13561 standard, which regulates the wind resistance and safety requirements for external blinds and awnings. In coastal areas like La Patacona, where wind gusts can be significant, following these technical standards is not just a legal requirement but a safety necessity. We handle the technical documentation required by the PGOU to ensure your renovation is fully compliant with local Alboraya statutes.
