Landscaping & Garden Design in Alfafar

Hello, I am Álvaro Ferrer, project coordinator at TuExterior. With a population of approximately 22,270 residents, Alfafar is a vibrant hub in the Horta Sud comarca that demands a specific approach to outdoor design. Whether you live in the established streets of Barri Orba (Parque Alcosa), the expanding residential zones of El Rajolar, or the traditional surroundings of Els Alfalars and Sant Jordi, I understand that your garden is more than just a plot of land—it is an extension of your home. Specialising in landscaping in Alfafar, my team and I navigate the unique inland climate of the Valencian plains, where scorching summers and humid winters dictate which species and materials will truly thrive. We also frequently work in the scenic El Tremolar area, balancing aesthetic beauty with functional durability. If you are considering a renovation, it is helpful to know that in Alfafar a landscaping typically runs 30-120 €/m² including local labour, depending on the complexity of the hardscaping and plant selection. My goal is to transform your terrace or plot into a sustainable sanctuary that reflects the character of this historic town.

Regulations and Permits for Landscaping in Alfafar

Navigating the legal landscape is a crucial part of any outdoor project. In Alfafar, all exterior installations must comply with the Plan General de Ordenación Urbana (PGOU), which dictates land use, setbacks from neighbouring properties, and aesthetic harmony within the municipality. For instance, if your project involves the installation of solar protection or awnings, we strictly adhere to the UNE-EN 13561 standard, ensuring wind resistance and safety for all mechanical components.

When it comes to paperwork, most landscaping tasks such as planting, installing irrigation systems, or minor decorative tiling fall under the category of "Comunicación Previa" or "Obra Menor" (minor works). This is a simplified process at the Alfafar Town Hall that allows work to begin once the notification is filed and fees are paid. However, if your project involves structural changes, significant perimeter walls, or large swimming pools, a "Licencia de Obra Mayor" (major works license) is required, involving a technical project signed by an architect.

It is also important to consider the town's evolving urban fabric. The Alfafar Town Hall approved a project in 2021 to construct 36 residential towers, totaling nearly a thousand homes, in one of its remaining agricultural areas, despite previous urban planning failures in nearby areas. This highlights the shift from traditional orchard land to high-density residential zones, meaning new homeowners must be particularly diligent about drainage and communal space regulations. At TuExterior, we handle the technical documentation to ensure your garden is 100% legal and compliant with current Horta Sud environmental directives.
