Hello, I am Álvaro Ferrer, project coordinator at TuExterior. If you are looking to transform your outdoor space, our team specializes in professional landscaping in El Campello, helping English-speaking residents across the L'Alacantí comarca turn their gardens into Mediterranean havens. With a population of approximately 30,600 inhabitants, this beautiful coastal town presents unique challenges for gardeners and builders alike. Whether you live in the frontline apartments of Playa Muchavista, the cliffside villas of Coveta Fumà, or the quiet residential streets of L'Amerador, Alkabir, and El Fabraquer, we understand the local conditions perfectly. Our coastal area suffers from high salt exposure and intense humidity, which dictates the choice of materials and plant species. We pride ourselves on creating durable, beautiful spaces that withstand the sea breeze. Regarding investment, in El Campello a landscaping typically runs 30-120 €/m² including local labour, depending on the complexity of the hardscaping and the specific irrigation systems required for our semi-arid climate. My goal is to ensure your project reflects the Mediterranean lifestyle while remaining practical and sustainable for years to come.

Regulations and Permits in El Campello

Navigating the legal landscape for outdoor renovations in El Campello requires an understanding of both national standards and local municipal ordinances. At TuExterior, we ensure all our installations, such as pergolas and awnings, comply with the UNE-EN 13561 standard, which dictates the wind resistance and safety requirements for solar protection systems. This is particularly crucial in our coastal environment where gusts can be significant.

Regarding local planning, El Campello currently operates under the 1986 PGOU (Plan General de Ordenación Urbana) after the 2011 plan was unfortunately annulled by the courts. This means we must be very precise with current zoning laws. For most landscaping projects, such as installing new flooring, irrigation, or low-height walls, we process an "Enterado" or "Comunicación Previa" (minor works notification). However, for larger structures or significant topographical changes, a "Licencia de Obra Menor" is required from the Ayuntamiento. We also strictly follow the TRLOTUP (Texto Refundido de la Ley de Ordenación del Territorio, Urbanismo y Paisaje) for any specific modifications or land use changes that fall outside the old 1986 framework. Our team handles the technical documentation to ensure your garden is 100% legal, avoiding potential fines or issues when you eventually decide to sell your property.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does landscaping cost in El Campello?
The cost varies significantly based on the materials chosen and the state of the terrain. On average, you can expect to invest between 30 €/m² for basic softscaping and planting up to 120 €/m² for high-end hardscaping involving porcelain tiling, custom lighting, and automated irrigation. We always provide a fixed quote after the site visit to give you price certainty.
Do I need a licence for my garden project?
In El Campello, most aesthetic garden improvements only require a "comunicación previa" to the town hall. However, if you are building a swimming pool, a large retaining wall, or a permanent roofed structure, a formal "Obra Menor" or "Obra Mayor" licence is mandatory. We manage the application process and provide the necessary technical drawings to ensure compliance with the 1986 PGOU.
How long does it take to complete the work?
A standard residential garden renovation in areas like El Fabraquer or Alkabir typically takes between 2 to 4 weeks. Smaller projects, such as installing artificial grass or a new irrigation system, can be finished in a few days. We provide a clear schedule before starting so you can plan your time accordingly.
Do you cover all areas of El Campello?
Yes, we provide full landscaping services across the entire municipality. This includes the urban centre, the extensive Muchavista beach area, and all northern urbanisations such as Coveta Fumà, Venta Lanuza, Cala d'Or, and L'Amerador. We are very familiar with the specific microclimates and soil types found in each of these distinct zones.
What warranty do you provide on your landscaping?
We offer a 2-year warranty on all our installations and hardscaping work. For living elements like plants and trees, the warranty depends on the installation of an automated irrigation system, as the heat in L'Alacantí can be unforgiving. All our mechanical components, such as irrigation timers or motorized awnings, carry their respective manufacturer warranties.
Can you design a garden that requires very little water?
Absolutely. Given the water restrictions and climate in the Alicante province, we specialize in "xeriscaping." This involves using native Mediterranean plants, decorative gravel, and efficient drip irrigation. This approach not only saves you money on water bills but also ensures your garden thrives during the hot summer months with minimal maintenance.
How do you handle the salt air issues near Muchavista?
Salt spray is a major factor for properties within 500 meters of the coast. We exclusively use marine-grade stainless steel (A4/316), salt-tolerant plants like Nerium oleander or Paspalum turf, and treated timbers or composite materials that do not corrode or rot when exposed to the humid, salty atmosphere of El Campello.
