Landscaping & Garden Design in Benicasim

Hello, I am Álvaro Ferrer, project coordinator at TuExterior. With years of experience transforming outdoor spaces across the La Plana Alta region, I understand that landscaping in Benicasim requires a specialized approach that balances Mediterranean aesthetics with the practical demands of our unique coastal environment. Whether you reside in the prestigious hills of Montornés and Las Palmas, the quiet streets of La Parreta and El Refugio, or one of the iconic beachfront properties in Las Villas, your garden faces specific challenges. Benicasim, with its permanent population of approximately 20,322 residents, enjoys a microclimate that is wonderful for outdoor living but harsh on materials due to high salt exposure and humidity from the Mediterranean Sea. My role is to ensure your terrace or garden thrives despite these conditions. We focus on xeriscaping and salt-tolerant species that honor the local landscape. Regarding investment, in Benicasim a landscaping typically runs 30-120 €/m² including local labour, depending on whether you require hardscaping, irrigation systems, or high-end vertical gardens.

Regulations and Permits for Landscaping in Benicasim

Navigating the legal framework is essential for any outdoor renovation in the Valencian Community. All our installations, particularly those involving sun protection like awnings or pergolas, adhere strictly to the UNE-EN 13561 standard, ensuring wind resistance and safety. Furthermore, every project must comply with the Benicasim PGOU (Plan General de Ordenación Urbana) and the regional LOTUP (Ley de Ordenación del Territorio, Urbanismo y Paisaje).

In Benicasim, the type of permit required depends on the complexity of the work. For most standard landscaping projects, such as planting, installing irrigation, or minor decorative walls, a "Declaración Responsable" (Responsible Declaration) filed with the Town Hall is sufficient to begin work immediately. however, if your property is located within the protected heritage zones of the historic "Villas," or if you are planning significant structural changes like large retaining walls or swimming pools, a "Licencia de Obra Mayor" (Major Works License) is mandatory. This requires a technical project signed by an architect. At TuExterior, we guide you through these administrative steps to ensure your garden is fully compliant with local municipal ordinances.
