Hello, I am Álvaro Ferrer, project coordinator at TuExterior. If you have chosen to live in the rugged beauty of the Los Serranos comarca, you already know that Alcublas is a special place. With a small, welcoming population of around 690 residents, this village offers a peaceful inland lifestyle that is increasingly popular with international residents. Whether you own a traditional townhouse near the Barranco de la Lucía or a villa in urbanisations like La Solana or Las Dueñas, professional landscaping in Alcublas is essential to making your outdoor space liveable year-round. The inland climate here is distinct from the coast; we face colder winters and intense, dry summer heat, which requires a specific choice of Mediterranean flora and durable materials. Whether your property is located in El Prao or the Llano de la Balsa area, we understand the local soil and wind conditions. Regarding investment, in Alcublas a landscaping typically runs 30-120 €/m² including local labour, depending on the complexity of the hardscaping and irrigation needs. My goal is to help you create a sustainable, beautiful garden that respects the local environment while providing the comfort you deserve.

Regulations and Permits in Alcublas

Navigating the legal requirements for outdoor renovations in Alcublas requires an understanding of both regional and local legislation. All projects in the Valencian Community are governed by the TRLOTUP 2021 (Texto Refundido de la Ley de Ordenación del Territorio, Urbanismo y Paisaje), which sets the framework for land use and environmental protection. It is important to note that Alcublas is currently in a transitional phase, as the municipality is updating its Plan General Estructural (General Structural Plan) with a specific and renewed focus on landscape protection and the preservation of the traditional rural aesthetic.

For most landscaping projects, the type of permit required depends on the scale of the work. Small-scale interventions, such as planting, installing irrigation systems, or minor decorative changes, are usually classified as an "Obra Menor" (Minor Work). This typically involves a simplified notification process (Declaración Responsable) at the Ayuntamiento de Alcublas. However, if your project involves structural changes, such as building high retaining walls, large pergolas, or permanent swimming pools, you will likely require a full Municipal Licence. Furthermore, all technical installations, such as motorised awnings or sun protection systems, must comply with the UNE-EN 13561 standard, which ensures wind resistance and safety. At TuExterior, we handle the technical documentation and guide you through the local PGOU (Plan General de Ordenación Urbana) to ensure your garden is fully compliant with local bylaws.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does landscaping cost in Alcublas?
The cost generally ranges between 30 € and 120 € per square metre. This variation depends on whether you are looking for a simple xeriscape (low-water garden) with local gravels and hardy plants, or a more complex project involving high-end paving, advanced lighting, and mature trees. The inland location of Alcublas means transport of materials is a factor, but our established local network helps keep these costs competitive.
Do I need a licence for landscaping in Alcublas?
Yes, most outdoor work requires at least a "comunicación previa" or "declaración responsable" for minor works (obra menor) at the local town hall. If your project involves structural elements like significant earth moving or building permanent structures, a more formal municipal licence is required. We assist our clients in determining exactly which permit is needed based on the current TRLOTUP 2021 regulations and local Alcublas ordinances.
How long does a typical landscaping project take?
A standard residential garden project in areas like Las Dueñas or El Prao usually takes between two to four weeks from the start of installation. This timeline can vary based on the size of the plot and the complexity of the hardscaping. We provide a clear schedule before work begins so you can plan your time in Alcublas accordingly.
Do you cover all areas of Alcublas?
Yes, we provide full landscaping services throughout the entire municipality. This includes the historic village centre, the surrounding rural plots, and all established urbanisations such as La Solana, Las Dueñas, Llano de la Balsa, and properties near the Barranco de la Lucía. No matter how remote your property might seem, our team is equipped to reach you.
What kind of warranty do you provide?
We offer a comprehensive warranty on all our installations. Typically, we provide a one-year warranty on all plants and trees, provided the recommended irrigation and maintenance schedules are followed. For structural work and hardscaping, such as stonework or decking, we offer a longer guarantee against defects in materials and workmanship, ensuring your investment is protected.
Which plants work best in the Alcublas climate?
Because Alcublas is inland and at a higher elevation than the coast, it experiences "Mediterranean-Continental" weather with frost in winter. We recommend hardy, native species like rosemary, lavender, holm oaks, and olive trees. These plants are not only beautiful but are also drought-resistant and capable of surviving the local temperature fluctuations, ensuring a low-maintenance and sustainable garden.
Can you install automatic irrigation systems?
Absolutely. Given the dry summers in the Los Serranos region, an efficient automatic irrigation system is vital. We design and install drip irrigation systems that target the root zones of your plants, minimizing water waste. This is particularly important in Alcublas, where water conservation is a priority and traditional hose-watering is often insufficient during the peak of summer.
