Landscaping & Garden Design in Denia

Hello, I am Álvaro Ferrer, project coordinator at TuExterior. With over 15 years of experience transforming outdoor spaces across the Marina Alta, I have seen first-hand how the unique Mediterranean climate of our region demands a specialized approach. When it comes to landscaping in Denia, we aren't just planting gardens; we are engineering environments that must withstand the intense salt exposure characteristic of our beautiful coastal area. Whether you reside in the prestigious villas of Las Rotas, the family-friendly apartments of Las Marinas, or the elevated slopes of El Montgó and La Sella, your garden faces specific microclimates. Denia is a vibrant city of approximately 47,166 residents, and each neighborhood—from the historic center to the quiet streets of La Pedrera—requires a different choice of materials and flora. We understand that transparency is key for our international community, so it is important to note that in Denia a landscaping typically runs 30-120 €/m² including local labour. My goal is to ensure your terrace or garden becomes a sustainable, low-maintenance sanctuary that adds genuine value to your property.

Regulations and Permits for Landscaping in Denia

Navigating the legal landscape of the Marina Alta is crucial to avoid fines and ensure the longevity of your investment. In Denia, all outdoor structures must comply with the specific guidelines set out in the municipal PGOU (Plan General de Ordenación Urbana). A significant update occurred recently with the final approval of the new Plan General Estructural (PGE) 2023. This document dictates everything from the percentage of permeable soil required on your plot to the maximum height of perimeter walls.

For installations such as awnings and solar protection, we strictly adhere to the UNE-EN 13561 standard, which ensures wind resistance and safety. Regarding administrative procedures, most landscaping projects in Denia fall under the category of 'Comunicación Previa' or 'Obra Menor' (Minor Works). However, due to the new PGE 2023, the town hall now requires strict LOTUP (Ley de Ordenación del Territorio, Urbanismo y Paisaje) compliance. For more complex projects or those involving structural changes, we often work with an ECUV (Entidad Colaboradora de la Administración Municipal en la Verificación de Actuaciones Urbanísticas). This is an external verified body that speeds up the licensing process by certifying that your project meets all technical and urbanistic requirements before the file even reaches the municipal technicians.
