Landscaping & Garden Design in Biar

Hello, I am Álvaro Ferrer, project coordinator at TuExterior. If you have recently moved to our beautiful town or are looking to renovate your garden, you have come to the right place for professional landscaping in Biar. Nestled in the Alt Vinalopó comarca, Biar is a unique enclave where our population of approximately 3,664 residents enjoys a privileged inland climate. However, this climate brings specific challenges: hot, dry summers and surprisingly cold winters compared to the coast. Whether you are living in the historic centre near the Plaza de la Constitución or in the peaceful outskirts like Fontalbres, El Lorito, or the Camino de Toll, your outdoor space needs a design that respects the local environment. At TuExterior, we specialise in creating gardens that thrive in the Secanet landscape, balancing aesthetics with water efficiency. Regarding investment, in Biar a landscaping typically runs 30-120 €/m² including local labour, depending on the complexity of the hardscaping and the choice of Mediterranean flora. My goal is to ensure your terrace or garden becomes a true extension of your home.

Regulations and Permits in Biar

Navigating the legal requirements for landscaping and outdoor structures in the Valencian Community can be complex. In Biar, all exterior renovations must adhere to the local urban planning regulations, specifically the Plan General de Ordenación Urbana (PGOU) of 1994. It is important to note that this plan is subject to ongoing updates to adapt to modern environmental standards, such as the recent Modification #16 planned for 2025. Furthermore, any significant structural work is governed by the LOTUP (Ley de Ordenación del Territorio, Urbanismo y Paisaje), which is the overarching regional law in the Valencian Community.

For most landscaping projects, such as installing new irrigation, planting, or minor decorative walls, you will only need to file a "Declaración Responsable" or a "Licencia de Obra Menor" (Minor Works Licence) at the Biar Town Hall (Ayuntamiento). This is a relatively straightforward process that involves paying a small municipal tax based on the budget of the works. However, if your project involves significant earthmoving, large retaining walls, or permanent structures like large pergolas or guest houses, a "Licencia de Obra Mayor" (Major Works Licence) may be required, necessitating a technical project signed by an architect.

Additionally, if your project includes the installation of solar protection or awnings, we ensure all materials and installations comply with the UNE-EN 13561 standard. This European regulation specifies the performance requirements, including wind resistance and safety, for external blinds and awnings. Being located in an area that can experience strong gusts from the Sierra Mariola, ensuring your installations meet these safety standards is not just a legal requirement but a practical necessity for the longevity of your investment. We handle the technical documentation required by the Biar municipal technicians to ensure your project is fully compliant.
