Landscaping & Garden Design in Castell de Castells

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 Castell de Castells. Living in this beautiful corner of the Marina Alta comarca, with its small but vibrant population of approximately 443 residents, offers a unique opportunity to embrace an inland lifestyle. Whether your property is located in the historic village centre or within established areas like Pla de Petracos, Bitla, or the serene Aialt, the environment demands a specific approach. The inland climate here is more extreme than on the coast, with hotter summers and cooler winters, meaning your outdoor space must be resilient. In Castell de Castells a landscaping typically runs 30-120 €/m² including local labour, depending on the complexity of the terrain near El Castellet or the flat expanses of Pla d'Alt. My goal is to ensure your project respects the rugged beauty of the Alicante mountains while providing the comfort and functionality your home deserves.

Regulations and Permits for Landscaping in Castell de Castells

Navigating the legal requirements for outdoor renovations in the Marina Alta can be complex, but it is essential for a stress-free project. In Castell de Castells, all urban development and landscaping works are strictly regulated by the LOTUP (Ley de Ordenación del Territorio, Urbanismo y Paisaje) and the local PGOU (Plan General de Ordenación Urbana). These regulations are designed to protect the high-altitude mountain landscape and maintain the aesthetic integrity of the municipality.

For most landscaping projects, such as installing new paving, irrigation systems, or planting schemes, you will typically need to apply for an 'Obra Menor' (Minor Works) permit at the Ayuntamiento. This is a relatively straightforward process but requires specific documentation. However, if your project involves significant structural changes, large retaining walls, or permanent buildings, a full 'Licencia de Obra' (Building Licence) may be required, involving a technical project signed by an architect.

Furthermore, any technical installations must adhere to national standards. For instance, the installation of awnings or external sun protection must comply with the UNE-EN 13561 standard, which dictates wind resistance and safety requirements. We handle the technical aspects of these regulations to ensure your garden is not only beautiful but also fully compliant with local and national laws.
