Landscaping & Garden Design in Churriana

Hola, I am Álvaro Ferrer, project coordinator at TuExterior. If you are looking to transform your outdoor space, our team specializes in professional landscaping in Churriana, a unique district of Malaga capital that blends traditional charm with modern residential comfort. With a population of around 20,000 residents, this area demands a specific approach to garden design due to its inland climate, which sees higher temperatures and lower humidity than the immediate coastline. Whether you own a villa in the exclusive El Olivar, a family home in Cortijo de Mazas, or a property in established areas like Monsálvez, San Jerónimo, or Finca Monsalvez, we understand the local soil and environmental conditions perfectly. We focus on creating sustainable, beautiful retreats that respect the local ecosystem while providing the luxury you deserve. Regarding investment, in Churriana a landscaping typically runs 30-120 €/m² including local labour, depending on the complexity of the hardscaping and the maturity of the botanical selections. My goal is to ensure your garden becomes a seamless extension of your home.

Regulations and Permits for Landscaping in Churriana

Navigating the legal landscape is a crucial part of any outdoor renovation in Malaga. In Churriana, all landscaping and exterior construction projects must adhere to the Malaga PGOU (Plan General de Ordenación Urbana). This municipal ordinance dictates what can be built, the height of perimeter walls, and the percentage of "green space" that must be maintained on your plot. For most standard landscaping projects, such as planting, installing irrigation, or laying turf, you may only need to file a "Comunicación Previa" or "Obra Menor" permit at the local Junta de Distrito. However, more significant structures like large pergolas, retaining walls, or swimming pools require a formal building license (Licencia de Obra).

Furthermore, because Churriana is located in the immediate vicinity of the Malaga-Costa del Sol Airport, certain properties are subject to AENA airport noise zone building restrictions. These regulations can affect the types of materials used for outdoor enclosures or the height of certain structures to ensure safety and acoustic compliance. Additionally, for any installation involving solar protection or awnings, we strictly follow the UNE-EN 13561 standard, which ensures the wind resistance and safety of the systems installed. At TuExterior, we handle the technical documentation required by the Malaga Town Hall to ensure your project is 100% legal and compliant.
