Landscaping & Garden Design in Balones

Hello, I am Álvaro Ferrer, project coordinator at TuExterior. If you are looking to transform your garden or terrace into a Mediterranean sanctuary, you have come to the right place for professional landscaping in Balones. Nestled in the heart of the El Comtat comarca, this charming village is home to a small but dedicated community of approximately 131 residents who truly value the tranquility of inland Alicante. Whether your property is located near the historic El Castillo, within the quiet streets of the village center, or on the outskirts towards La Creueta and Llometa de la Creu, we understand the unique challenges of the local terrain. The inland climate here brings hot, dry summers and surprisingly crisp winters, requiring a specific selection of flora and materials that can withstand these shifts. At TuExterior, we specialise in creating outdoor spaces that respect the local environment while providing modern comfort. Regarding investment, in Balones 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 Balones

Navigating the legal landscape for outdoor renovations in the Alicante province requires a clear understanding of both regional and local mandates. In Balones, all landscaping and exterior construction projects are regulated by the LOTUP (Ley de Ordenación del Territorio, Urbanismo y Paisaje), which is the overarching Valencian Law governing land use. Furthermore, specific aesthetic and structural requirements are dictated by the local Plan General de Ordenación Urbana (PGOU) of Balones.

For most landscaping projects, the type of permit required depends on the scope of work. Small-scale interventions, such as planting, installing irrigation, or laying artificial turf, are usually classified as an "Actuación Comunicada" or "Obra Menor" (minor works), requiring a simple notification to the Ayuntamiento. However, if your project involves structural changes, such as building high perimeter walls, large swimming pools, or permanent outbuildings, a more formal "Licencia de Obra" is necessary. Additionally, for any external sun protection systems we install, we strictly adhere to the UNE-EN 13561 standard, which regulates the wind resistance and safety requirements for awnings and external blinds. We handle the technical documentation to ensure your project remains fully compliant with Balones' municipal ordinances.
