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.

How we work

  1. Initial Contact: Reach out via our web form or WhatsApp to discuss your vision, and we will schedule a preliminary consultation to understand your specific needs in Denia.
  2. Site Visit & Measuring: I will personally visit your property in areas like Las Rotas or La Sella to take precise measurements and assess soil quality and sun exposure.
  3. Free Quote: Within a few days, you will receive a detailed, transparent proposal broken down by phases, including material specifications and estimated timelines for your project.
  4. Professional Installation: Our specialized local teams execute the project under my direct supervision, ensuring every plant, irrigation line, or pergola meets our rigorous quality standards.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does landscaping cost in Denia?
The cost varies significantly based on the complexity and materials chosen, but as a general rule, landscaping in Denia typically runs between 30 € and 120 € per square meter. This range includes local labour, high-quality Mediterranean plants, irrigation systems, and professional design. Projects in areas with difficult access, such as the steep terrain of El Montgó, may lean toward the higher end of the scale due to the logistical challenges of moving materials.
Do I need a licence for my garden project?
Yes, almost every modification to your exterior space in Denia requires some form of notification to the Town Hall (Ayuntamiento). For simple gardening and planting, a basic 'Comunicación Previa' is usually enough. However, if you are building pergolas, outdoor kitchens, or changing floor levels, you will need a Minor Works Licence (Licencia de Obra Menor). Under the new 2023 Structural General Plan, it is vital to ensure your project does not exceed the allowed buildable area of your plot.
How long does a typical landscaping project take?
A standard residential project in areas like Las Marinas or La Pedrera usually takes between two to four weeks from the moment the materials arrive on-site. Smaller interventions, such as installing a new artificial turf area or an automated irrigation system, can be completed in just a few days. Larger estates in La Sella involving hardscaping, lighting, and extensive planting may take up to two months. We always provide a clear timeline before starting.
Do you cover all areas of Denia?
Yes, we provide full landscaping services across the entire municipality of Denia and the wider Marina Alta. This includes the coastal stretches of Las Marinas and Las Rotas, the residential hubs of La Pedrera and El Montgó, and the gated communities of La Sella. We are also happy to travel to nearby towns like Jávea, Ondara, and Els Poblets to assist English-speaking residents with their outdoor projects.
What warranty do you provide on your work?
We offer a comprehensive two-year warranty on all structural installations, such as pergolas, decking, and stone work. For living elements, we provide a standard establishment warranty on plants and trees, provided that a professional irrigation system is installed and maintained. Our goal is to build long-term relationships with our clients in Denia, so we are always available for follow-up support and advice.
How do you handle the high salt levels in Denia's coastal areas?
Salt exposure is a major factor in Denia, especially for properties within 500 meters of the sea in Las Marinas or Las Rotas. We handle this by selecting 'halophytic' or salt-tolerant plant species like Nerium oleander, Westringia, or certain palms. Furthermore, we use marine-grade stainless steel (AISI 316) for all hardware and specialized coatings for any wooden or metallic structures to prevent corrosion and ensure your garden stays beautiful for years.
Can you help with water-saving gardens (Xeriscaping)?
Absolutely. Given the Mediterranean climate and occasional water restrictions in the Marina Alta, we specialize in xeriscaping. This involves using native plants that require minimal water, efficient drip irrigation systems with rain sensors, and decorative gravels or volcanic rock to retain soil moisture. This approach not only respects the local environment of Denia but also significantly reduces your monthly utility bills and maintenance time.
