Landscaping & Garden Design in Ares del Maestre

Hello, I am Álvaro Ferrer, project coordinator at TuExterior. If you are looking to transform your outdoor space into a Mediterranean sanctuary, you have come to the right place for landscaping in Ares del Maestre. This stunning village, perched high in the L’Alt Maestrat comarca, presents a unique set of challenges and opportunities for garden design. With a small, tight-knit population of approximately 177 residents, life here is defined by the rugged beauty of the inland climate—think hot summers and surprisingly crisp, windy winters. Whether your property is located within the historic village core, near the scenic Masía Roca d'Avall, or in surrounding areas like La Montalbana, Santa Elena, or Torre Beltrans, we understand the local soil and weather patterns. Our goal is to create sustainable, beautiful gardens that respect the limestone landscape of the Maestrat. Regarding investment, in Ares del Maestre a landscaping typically runs 30-120 €/m² including local labour, depending on whether you require simple xeriscaping or complex stone masonry and irrigation systems.

Regulations and Permits in Ares del Maestre

Navigating the legal requirements for landscaping and outdoor construction in Ares del Maestre requires a specialized approach. Because the village is designated as a Bien de Interés Cultural (BIC), the historic center is subject to very strict heritage protection. Any modification to the exterior appearance of a property must respect the traditional aesthetic of the Maestrat.

For most landscaping projects, such as planting or installing removable elements, a Comunicacion Previa (minor works notification) to the Ayuntamiento is usually sufficient. However, for structural changes, retaining walls, or large pergolas, a formal Obra Menor license is required. If your property is located outside the urban nucleus in rural areas like Torre Beltrans, we must strictly adhere to the LOTUP (Ley de Ordenación del Territorio, Urbanismo y Paisaje), which highly restricts construction on non-urbanizable land to protect the natural landscape. Furthermore, for any solar protection installations like awnings, we ensure all materials and mechanisms comply with the UNE-EN 13561 standard for safety and wind resistance, which is vital given the gusty conditions common at this altitude.
