Hello, I am Álvaro Ferrer, project coordinator at TuExterior. If you are looking for professional landscaping in Benimeli to transform your garden into a Mediterranean sanctuary, you have come to the right place. Nestled in the heart of the Marina Alta comarca, Benimeli is a charming village of approximately 453 residents that offers a unique inland climate—hotter in the summer and slightly cooler in the winter than the coastal strips. Whether you own a villa in the established Benimeli Club Residencial, a traditional house in Partida Huertas, or a property in the Penete area, we understand the specific soil conditions and wind patterns of the Segària mountain foothills. We specialise in creating sustainable outdoor spaces that respect the local environment while providing the luxury and comfort you expect. To give you an initial idea of investment, in Benimeli a landscaping typically runs 30-120 €/m² including local labour, depending on whether you require simple xeriscaping or complex hardscaping with pergolas and lighting.

How we work

  1. Initial Contact: Reach out via our web form or phone to discuss your vision for your Benimeli property and schedule a consultation.
  2. Site Visit & Measuring: I will personally visit your home in areas like Monte Pego or the village centre to take precise measurements and assess soil quality.
  3. Free Quote: Within a few days, you will receive a detailed, transparent proposal tailored to your specific budget and the local inland climate requirements.
  4. Professional Installation: Our expert team carries out the work, managing everything from plant selection to structural elements, ensuring a clean and efficient handover.

Regulations and Permits for Landscaping in Benimeli

Navigating the legal landscape in the Marina Alta can be complex for international residents. In Benimeli, urban planning is currently governed by the Normas Subsidiarias (NNSS), although a new Plan General de Ordenación Urbana (PGOU) is currently in processing under the regional LOTUP (Ley de Ordenación del Territorio, Urbanismo y Paisaje) framework. This means that any significant structural change to your exterior must align with specific density and aesthetic guidelines.

For most landscaping projects involving minor earthworks, irrigation, or planting, a "Comunicación Previa" or "Obra Menor" permit from the Ayuntamiento de Benimeli is usually sufficient. However, if your project includes large retaining walls, swimming pools, or permanent structures, a more formal municipal licence is required. Furthermore, for any solar protection installations such as awnings or motorized shades, we strictly adhere to the UNE-EN 13561 standard, which ensures wind resistance and safety. We handle the technical documentation required by the local technicians to ensure your garden is 100% legal and compliant with the latest Valencian community regulations.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does landscaping cost in Benimeli?
The cost of landscaping in this part of the Marina Alta generally falls between 30 €/m² for basic garden refreshes and 120 €/m² for high-end designs involving hardscaping, lighting, and premium materials. Factors such as the slope of your plot near the Segària mountain and the ease of access for machinery can influence the final price. We provide a detailed breakdown in our quotes so there are no surprises during the project.
Do I need a licence for my garden project?
Yes, most exterior works in Benimeli require at least a minor works notification (Obra Menor) to the Town Hall. Small planting tasks do not usually require paperwork, but anything involving construction, significant excavation, or changes to the perimeter walls must be registered. As part of our service, we advise you on which specific permit your project falls under according to the current Normas Subsidiarias.
How long does a typical landscaping project take?
A standard residential project in areas like Benimeli Club Residencial typically takes between 2 to 5 weeks from the start of the physical work. Smaller interventions might be finished in a few days, while comprehensive transformations involving masonry and complex irrigation systems can take longer. We always provide a projected timeline before we break ground.
Do you cover all areas of Benimeli?
Absolutely. We provide full landscaping services across the entire municipality, including the village core, the surrounding Diseminados, Partida Huertas, Penete, and the sections of Monte Pego that fall within the Benimeli boundaries. No matter how remote your finca might be, our team is equipped to reach your location with all necessary materials.
What warranty do you provide on your work?
We offer a comprehensive warranty that covers both the structural elements and the health of the plants we install. Hardscaping elements like stone walls or paving are covered against construction defects, while our irrigation systems and plants come with a specific establishment warranty, provided the recommended maintenance schedule is followed. We pride ourselves on long-term relationships with our clients.
Can you design a garden that thrives in the inland heat?
Yes, this is our speciality. Benimeli experiences higher temperatures than Dénia or Jávea because it lacks the immediate sea breeze. We focus on "Xeriscaping" techniques, using native species like lavender, rosemary, and olive trees that are adapted to the Marina Alta's dry summers. This ensures your garden remains beautiful while significantly reducing your water bills.
Do you install artificial grass in Benimeli?
We do install high-quality artificial turf, which is a popular choice for residents in the Diseminados area who want a green look without the high water consumption of natural grass. We use UV-resistant products specifically designed for the intense Spanish sun to ensure the lawn doesn't overheat or fade over time, always ensuring proper drainage layers are installed underneath.
