Landscaping & Garden Design in Alcolecha

Hello, I am Álvaro Ferrer, the project coordinator at TuExterior. If you are looking to transform your outdoor space in the heart of the Alicante mountains, you have come to the right place. We specialize in professional landscaping in Alcolecha, a hidden gem within the El Comtat comarca. With a population of approximately 186 residents, this village offers a unique tranquility, but its inland climate—characterized by hot summers and surprisingly crisp winters—requires a specific horticultural approach. Whether your property is nestled in the historic Casco Antiguo, perched on the scenic Aitana Slopes near the Barranco del Fraimó, or located towards the Tudons pass, we understand the local terrain and soil quality. Our goal is to create gardens that respect the rugged beauty of the Beniafé area while providing modern comfort. Budgeting is always a priority for homeowners, and in Alcolecha a landscaping typically runs 30-120 €/m² including local labour, depending on the complexity of the masonry and the choice of Mediterranean flora.

Regulations and Permits in Alcolecha

Navigating the legal requirements for outdoor renovations in a small mountain village requires local knowledge. In Alcolecha, urban development is primarily governed by the 1991 Delimitación de Suelo Urbano and the regional LOTUP framework (Ley de Ordenación del Territorio, Urbanismo y Paisaje). These regulations ensure that new interventions respect the traditional aesthetic and environmental integrity of the Sierra de Aitana foothills.

For most landscaping projects, such as planting, installing irrigation, or minor decorative changes, you will only need to file a "Comunicación Previa" or an "Obra Menor" permit at the Ayuntamiento. This is a relatively straightforward process for small-scale improvements. However, if your project involves structural changes, significant retaining walls due to the sloping terrain, or large-scale excavations, a more formal "Licencia de Obra" may be required. Furthermore, when installing sun protection systems like awnings or pergolas, we strictly adhere to the UNE-EN 13561 standard to guarantee safety and wind resistance. We always recommend checking the specific municipal PGOU (Plan General de Ordenación Urbana) or the current urban boundary maps to ensure your project aligns with protected zones, especially if your property borders the Barranco del Fraimó or other protected natural areas.
