Landscaping & Garden Design in Fortuna

Hello, I am Álvaro Ferrer, project coordinator at TuExterior. If you have recently moved to the Oriental comarca of Murcia, you already know that the inland climate here is as beautiful as it is demanding. With around 11,437 residents and a growing international community, many homeowners in areas like Las Kalendas, El Reloj, and the serene slopes of Fortuna Hills are looking to transform their plots into functional retreats. My job is to ensure that your landscaping in Fortuna reflects the unique character of this thermal town while standing up to the intense summer sun and the specific soil conditions of the region. Whether you are based in the traditional surroundings of La Matanza or the modern developments of Las Lamparillas, we understand the logistical and environmental nuances of this area. Budgeting is always a priority for our clients; in Fortuna a landscaping typically runs 30-120 €/m² including local labour, depending on whether you are looking for simple xeriscaping or a full garden overhaul with hardscaping and irrigation. We pride ourselves on creating outdoor spaces that feel like a natural extension of your home.

Local Regulations and Permits in Fortuna

Navigating the legal landscape is a crucial part of any outdoor project. In Fortuna, all exterior modifications must align with the municipal PGOU (Plan General de Ordenación Urbana). It is important to note that the new PGMO (Plan General de Ordenación Municipal), which saw definitive approval in 2025, has significantly changed the landscape for homeowners. This updated plan has finally unblocked several urban sectors that were previously in a state of paralysis, allowing for new developments and more streamlined renovations in areas that were previously restricted.

For most landscaping projects, such as installing pergolas, paving, or low-height walls, the process is handled through a "Declaración Responsable" (Responsible Declaration) for an "Obra Menor" (Minor Work). This is a simplified procedure that allows work to begin once the notification is filed and fees are paid at the Ayuntamiento de Fortuna. However, if your project involves significant structural changes, large swimming pools, or major earthmoving, a full "Licencia de Obra Mayor" may be required. Furthermore, any solar protection installations we provide, such as awnings or bioclimatic pergolas, strictly adhere to the UNE-EN 13561 standard, ensuring wind resistance and safety. We handle the technical documentation required by the town hall to ensure your project is 100% compliant with local bylaws.
