Landscaping & Garden Design in Calles

Hello, I am Álvaro Ferrer, the project coordinator at TuExterior. If you have chosen to live in the beautiful town of Calles, located in the heart of the Los Serranos comarca, you already know that this is a unique corner of the Valencian inland. With a small, welcoming population of around 375 residents, Calles offers a peaceful lifestyle surrounded by rugged nature. However, the inland climate here is demanding; we face hot, dry summers and significantly colder winters than the coast. Whether you have a property in the historic town centre or a plot in urbanisations and areas like Alcotas, La Cerrada, or near the scenic Barranco del Hocino, Barranco Zurdo, and Barranco del Tío Roque, your outdoor space needs a professional touch to thrive. My goal is to provide expert landscaping in Calles that respects the local ecosystem while creating a functional retreat for you. We understand the specific soil conditions of the Serranía. Regarding investment, in Calles a landscaping typically runs 30-120 €/m² including local labour, depending on the complexity of the masonry and the botanical choices selected for your garden.

Regulations and Permits for Landscaping in Calles

Navigating the legal requirements for outdoor renovations in a small municipality like Calles is essential to avoid fines or delays. All our installations involving solar protection, such as awnings or pergolas, strictly adhere to the UNE-EN 13561 standard, which regulates the performance and safety requirements for external blinds and shutters. This ensures that your structures can withstand the wind loads common in the Los Serranos region.

Regarding local planning, projects are governed by the PGOU (Plan General de Ordenación Urbana) of Calles and the general regulations of the Comunidad Valenciana. For most landscaping tasks, such as planting, installing irrigation, or minor decorative tiling, a "Declaración Responsable" or an "Obra Menor" permit is sufficient. This is a simplified process for small works that do not affect the structural integrity of the building. However, if your project involves significant earthmoving, high retaining walls, or large permanent structures near protected areas like the Barranco del Hocino, a full "Licencia de Obra" might be required. We assist our clients in identifying which permit is necessary and can help prepare the documentation for the Ayuntamiento de Calles to ensure your project is fully compliant with Valencian land laws (LOTUP).
