Landscaping & Garden Design in Bahía de Marbella

Hello, I am Álvaro Ferrer, project coordinator at TuExterior. Living and working in the Costa del Sol Occidental has taught me that creating a garden here is about more than just aesthetics; it is about resilience against the Mediterranean elements. If you are looking for professional landscaping in Bahía de Marbella, you have come to the right place. This exclusive enclave, home to a population of approximately 1,200 residents, demands a specific expertise due to its immediate proximity to the sea. Whether your property is nestled near the dunes of Alicate Playa or within the prestigious borders of Los Monteros Playa, your outdoor space faces constant salt exposure and intense saline winds. We specialise in selecting species and materials that thrive in these coastal conditions, ensuring your terrace or garden remains a lush sanctuary. From the quiet streets of Real de Zaragoza to the luxury villas of Las Monteros, we provide tailored solutions. Please note that in Bahía de Marbella a landscaping typically runs 30-120 €/m² including local labour, depending on the complexity of the design and the choice of materials.

Regulations and Permits in Bahía de Marbella

Navigating the legal landscape for outdoor renovations in Marbella requires a thorough understanding of both local and regional frameworks. All our installations, particularly retractable structures and sun protection, strictly adhere to the UNE-EN 13561 standard, which regulates the safety and performance requirements for external blinds and awnings. Furthermore, any project in Bahía de Marbella must comply with the Marbella PGOU (Plan General de Ordenación Urbana), which dictates the aesthetic harmony and structural limits of the municipality.

Under the current Andalucian legislative framework known as LISTA (Ley de Impulso para la Sostenibilidad del Territorio de Andalucía), the process for obtaining permits has been somewhat streamlined, but strict coastal protection setbacks remain a priority. For minor aesthetic changes or simple landscaping, a "Declaración Responsable" (Responsible Declaration) for an "Obra Menor" is usually sufficient, allowing work to begin once the fee is paid. However, for larger structural changes, such as permanent pergolas or significant earthmoving, a full municipal licence is required. We handle the technical documentation to ensure your project respects the local ordinances regarding boundary distances and height restrictions common in this coastal zone.
