Hello, I am Álvaro Ferrer, project coordinator at TuExterior. If you are looking for professional landscaping in Castellnovo, you have come to the right place. Living here in the Alto Palancia comarca offers a unique connection to nature, but the inland climate—with its hot summers and surprisingly brisk winters—requires a specific approach to garden design. Whether your property is located near the historic El Calvario, the scenic Mal Paso area, or within the established residential pockets of San Cristóbal and La Mina, we understand the local terrain. With a population of approximately 884 residents, Castellnovo maintains a peaceful, rural charm that we strive to enhance through sustainable outdoor spaces. Our goal is to create gardens that respect the local ecosystem while providing you with a functional retreat. To give you a starting point for your budget, in Castellnovo a landscaping typically runs 30-120 €/m² including local labour, depending on the complexity of the hardscaping and the botanical choices selected for our specific Mediterranean-continental transition zone.

How we work

Our process begins the moment you reach out to us; we discuss your initial ideas, functional needs, and the specific aesthetic you want to achieve for your Castellnovo home. Once we have a clear brief, I personally coordinate a site visit to your property to take precise measurements, analyze soil quality, and evaluate sun exposure. Following the site assessment, we provide a detailed free quote that breaks down materials, plant species, and labour costs with full transparency and no hidden fees. After approval, our skilled team begins the installation, managing everything from irrigation and lighting to the final planting, ensuring a clean and professional finish.

Regulations and permits for outdoor projects

Navigating the legal requirements for landscaping and exterior renovations in Castellnovo is essential to avoid fines and ensure the longevity of your investment. All our installations, particularly solar protection systems like awnings and pergolas, strictly adhere to the UNE-EN 13561 standard, ensuring wind resistance and safety. Furthermore, all exterior works are governed by the local PGOU (Plan General de Ordenación Urbana) and the municipal ordinances of the Castellnovo Town Hall.

Most landscaping projects fall under the category of 'obra menor' (minor works), which requires a simple communication or a small permit from the town hall. However, because Castellnovo is governed by the TRLOTUP (Texto Refundido de la Ley de Ordenación del Territorio, Urbanismo y Paisaje) of the Valencian Community, certain restrictions apply regarding wall heights and land use. Crucially, if your property is located within the protection perimeter of the Castle of Beatriz de Borja—which is classified as a BIC (Bien de Interés Cultural)—any significant modification to the exterior will require a mandatory heritage report from the Conselleria de Cultura before work can commence. We handle the technical documentation to ensure your project respects these heritage protections.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does landscaping cost in Castellnovo?
The cost of landscaping in Castellnovo generally ranges between 30 € and 120 € per square meter. This variation depends heavily on whether you are looking for a simple softscaping project (planting and turf) or a complex hardscaping renovation involving stone walls, paving, and advanced irrigation systems. Projects in areas like La Mina might face different logistical considerations than those in the town centre, which can slightly influence the final quote. We provide a tailored estimate after evaluating your specific plot.
Do I need a licence for my garden project?
Yes, most outdoor modifications in Castellnovo require at least a 'declaración responsable' or a minor works permit (licencia de obra menor) from the Ayuntamiento. If your project involves structural changes, large retaining walls, or is located near the historic castle (BIC zone), the requirements are more stringent and involve regional oversight. We assist our clients in identifying which permits are necessary and can help prepare the technical descriptions required by the municipal technicians.
How long does it take to complete a landscaping project?
A standard residential garden in Castellnovo typically takes between two to four weeks to complete once the site preparation begins. Smaller interventions, such as installing a new irrigation system or a specific patio area, can be finished in a few days. However, the timeline can be extended if we are waiting for specific permits from the Conselleria regarding heritage zones or if the project involves complex custom-built structures. We always provide a projected timeline before we break ground.
Do you cover Castellnovo and the surrounding Alto Palancia area?
Absolutely. We are fully active in Castellnovo and serve all surrounding areas including Segorbe, Geldo, and Almedíjar. Our team is familiar with the local microclimate of the Alto Palancia, which is vital for selecting plants that can survive both the summer heat and the winter frosts common in this part of Castellón. We have the local logistics in place to transport materials and machinery to any part of the municipality, from the town core to the more remote rural villas.
What warranty do you provide on your work?
We stand behind the quality of our craftsmanship and the materials we source. Our hardscaping and structural installations come with a standard multi-year warranty against construction defects. For living elements, we provide a replacement guarantee on plants and trees provided that a professional irrigation system is installed and maintained according to our guidelines. We also ensure that all mechanical elements, like automated pergolas, carry their respective manufacturer warranties in compliance with Spanish consumer laws.
Can you design a low-maintenance garden for the Castellnovo climate?
Yes, this is one of our specialties. Given the inland climate of Castellnovo, we often recommend 'xeroscaping' techniques. This involves using native Mediterranean species, decorative gravel, and efficient drip irrigation to minimize water consumption and weeding. By choosing plants that are naturally adapted to the Alto Palancia environment, we can create a beautiful outdoor space that requires very little intervention from the homeowner while staying lush throughout the year.
How do you handle irrigation in areas with poor water pressure?
In certain parts of Castellnovo, especially in elevated areas or older urbanisations, water pressure can be inconsistent. We address this by installing pressure regulators and, if necessary, small buffer tanks with pumps to ensure your irrigation system functions perfectly. We prioritize drip irrigation over sprinklers to maximize water efficiency, ensuring that every drop reaches the roots of your plants without waste, which is both environmentally friendly and cost-effective.
