Hello, I am Álvaro Ferrer, project coordinator at TuExterior. If you are looking for professional landscaping in Alfauir, you have come to the right place. Living in the beautiful comarca of La Safor, we understand that your outdoor space is more than just a garden; it is a sanctuary. Alfauir is a charming, tranquil village with a population of approximately 488 residents, nestled in a valley that offers a unique inland climate—hotter in the summer and cooler in the winter than the coastal towns. Whether your property is located within the historic centre, near the lush Partida de la Bassa, or in the expanding residential areas like Partida del Carreró or Partida de la Falconera, our team is equipped to handle the specific soil types and environmental conditions of the region. We are also very familiar with the surroundings of the Monasterio de Cotalba, ensuring our designs respect the local heritage. To give you a starting point, in Alfauir a landscaping typically runs 30-120 €/m² including local labour, depending on the complexity of the project and materials selected.

How we work

  1. Initial Contact: You reach out to us via phone or our online form to discuss your vision, preferences, and the specific needs of your Alfauir property.
  2. Site Visit & Measuring: I will personally visit your home in areas like Partida de la Falconera to take precise measurements and assess the terrain and orientation.
  3. Free Quote: We provide a detailed, transparent proposal including material costs and labor, tailored to your budget and the Safor climate.
  4. Installation: Our expert team carries out the project with minimal disruption, ensuring every plant, stone, and structure meets our high quality standards.

Regulations and Permits in Alfauir

Navigating the legal requirements for outdoor renovations in a small municipality requires local expertise. In Alfauir, all building permits are governed by the LOTUP (Ley de Ordenación del Territorio, Urbanismo y Paisaje). For simple garden refreshments or minor repairs, an "Enterado" or "Comunicación Previa" (obra menor) is usually sufficient. However, if your project involves structural changes, high perimeter walls, or permanent gazebos, you will need a formal municipal licence. It is crucial to note that Alfauir's proximity to the BIC-protected (Bien de Interés Cultural) Monastery of San Jerónimo de Cotalba means that major works often require a technical project and specific municipal approval to ensure the landscape remains harmonious with this historical landmark. Furthermore, for any installation of motorized awnings or pergolas, we strictly adhere to the UNE-EN 13561 standard to guarantee safety and wind resistance. We handle the technical documentation to ensure your project complies with the local PGOU (Plan General de Ordenación Urbana).

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does landscaping cost in Alfauir?
The cost varies significantly based on the scope of the work. For a basic garden cleanup and irrigation setup, prices might start on the lower end, but for a full redesign including hardscaping, lighting, and mature Mediterranean plants, it typically ranges between 30 €/m² and 120 €/m². This price includes high-quality materials and local labour familiar with the rocky terrain of the Safor interior.
Do I need a licence for my garden project?
Yes, most exterior works in Alfauir require at least a minor works notification (obra menor) at the Ayuntamiento. If your property is near the Monasterio de Cotalba or if you are building significant structures like a swimming pool or a large retaining wall, a major works licence and a technical project signed by an architect are mandatory. We can guide you through this administrative process.
How long does a typical landscaping project take?
Small interventions, such as installing artificial grass or a new irrigation system in Partida del Carreró, can take 3 to 5 days. Full-scale landscaping projects for larger villas usually take between 3 to 6 weeks, depending on the weather and the complexity of the hardscaping elements like stone walls or pergolas.
Do you cover all areas of Alfauir?
Absolutely. We provide services to the entire municipality, including the village core and the surrounding rural "partidas" such as Partida de la Bassa and Partida de la Falconera. Our team is accustomed to the narrow streets of the centre and the wider access roads of the outlying residential plots.
What warranty do you provide on your work?
We offer a standard 2-year warranty on all construction and hardscaping elements. For plants and trees, we provide a "settlement warranty" provided that a TuExterior-installed automated irrigation system is in place, ensuring your new Mediterranean garden survives the intense inland summer heat.
Can you design a garden that requires very little water?
Yes, this is one of our specialties. Given the inland climate of Alfauir, we highly recommend "Xeriscaping." This involves using native species like lavender, rosemary, and olive trees that thrive in La Safor with minimal water, combined with decorative gravel or volcanic rock to reduce evaporation and maintenance.
Do you install pergolas and awnings according to Spanish standards?
Yes, all our solar protection installations, such as bioclimatic pergolas or retractable awnings, comply with the UNE-EN 13561 standard. This ensures the structures are rated for specific wind speeds, which is vital in the valley areas of Alfauir where gusts can occasionally be quite strong.
