Landscaping & Garden Design in Alhaurín el Grande

Hello, I am Álvaro Ferrer, the project coordinator here at TuExterior. If you are looking to transform your outdoor space, you have come to the right place for professional landscaping in Alhaurín el Grande. Living in the heart of the Valle del Guadalhorce, we understand the specific challenges and beauties of this inland Mediterranean climate. With a growing population of approximately 26,879 residents, Alhaurín el Grande has become a prime location for international residents seeking a blend of traditional Andalusian life and modern comforts. Whether you own a villa in the prestigious Alhaurín Golf area, a rustic finca near La Paca, or a family home in urbanisations like La Mota or Chira, we tailor our designs to the local terrain. The inland heat during the summer months requires smart shade solutions and resilient Mediterranean planting. Regarding investment, in Alhaurín el Grande a landscaping typically runs 30-120 €/m² including local labour, depending on the complexity of the hardscaping and the materials selected for your specific plot.

Regulations and Permits for Landscaping in Alhaurín el Grande

Navigating the legal landscape is a crucial part of any outdoor renovation in Málaga province. All our installations, particularly those involving retractable sun protection or awnings, strictly adhere to the UNE-EN 13561 standard, ensuring wind resistance and safety. Furthermore, every project must comply with the local PGOU (Plan General de Ordenación Urbana) of Alhaurín el Grande.

In this municipality, the type of permit required depends heavily on the scope of work. Most landscaping projects, such as tiling a terrace or installing a removable pergola, fall under the category of 'Obra Menor' (Minor Works), which involves a simplified notification process at the Town Hall (Ayuntamiento). However, if your project involves structural changes, large retaining walls, or permanent enclosures, a full municipal building licence may be required.

It is also vital to note that Alhaurín el Grande is subject to Andalusia's LISTA law (Ley de Impulso para la Sostenibilidad del Territorio de Andalucía). This law is particularly strict regarding building regulations on rustic land, which is common in the outskirts of the town. We manage the communication with the local planning department to ensure your project respects the protected rural landscape while maximizing your enjoyment of your property.
