Landscaping & Garden Design in Alcoy

Hello, I am Álvaro Ferrer, project coordinator at TuExterior. If you are looking to transform your garden or terrace into a Mediterranean sanctuary, you have come to the right place for professional landscaping in Alcoy. Living in the capital of the L'Alcoià comarca offers a unique lifestyle, but our inland climate—with its scorching summers and surprisingly crisp winters—requires a specific approach to outdoor design that differs from the coastal towns. Whether you reside in the historic urban centre among its 60,372 neighbours or in one of the beautiful residential urbanisations like Montesol, El Baradelló, or El Estepar, your outdoor space should be an extension of your home. I personally oversee projects across the city, from the heights of El Tossal to the quiet lanes of Sargento, ensuring we select plants and materials that thrive in our specific microclimate. Regarding investment, in Alcoy a landscaping typically runs 30-120 €/m² including local labour, depending on whether you require simple xeriscaping or complex structural work like pergolas and stone walling. My goal is to blend your personal vision with the rugged beauty of our mountainous surroundings.

Regulations and Permits for Landscaping in Alcoy

Navigating the legal landscape is essential for any outdoor renovation in our city. At TuExterior, we ensure all our installations, particularly solar protection systems like awnings and bioclimatic pergolas, strictly adhere to the UNE-EN 13561 standard. This European regulation ensures the wind resistance and safety of the structures we install. Furthermore, all landscaping and exterior work must comply with the local municipal ordinances and the General Urban Development Plan (PGOU).

In Alcoy, the regulatory framework is primarily governed by the 1989 PGOU (Plan General de Ordenación Urbana) and the regional LOTUP (Ley de Ordenación del Territorio, Urbanismo y Paisaje). Because Alcoy is famous for its industrial heritage and its proximity to the Serra de Mariola and Font Roja Natural Parks, certain restrictions apply. For simple gardening or minor aesthetic changes, an "Enterado" or "Comunicación Previa" (prior communication) is usually sufficient. However, for structural changes, significant earthmoving, or building perimeter walls, a "Licencia de Obra Menor" (Minor Works Licence) is required from the Ayuntamiento. If your property is located within a protected heritage zone or the buffer zone of a natural park, we may need to navigate additional environmental impact assessments to ensure the project respects the local ecosystem and historical aesthetic.
