Landscaping & Garden Design in Guadassuar

¡Hola! I'm Álvaro Ferrer, and as the project coordinator for TuExterior, I'm delighted to introduce our services for landscaping in Guadassuar. As residents of La Ribera Alta, we understand the unique charm and challenges of creating beautiful outdoor spaces here. Whether you're in one of the lovely urbanisations like La Garrofera, Font Roja, or El Pinaret, or closer to the town centre, we know the local environment intimately. Guadassuar, with its population of around 5,929, enjoys a distinct inland climate – hot, dry summers and mild winters – which significantly influences plant choices and design considerations. We specialise in crafting landscapes that not only thrive in these conditions but also enhance the beauty and functionality of your property, from a small patio in the village to a larger garden in Fentina. We believe in transparency, and to give you an idea, in Guadassuar a landscaping typically runs 30-120 €/m² including local labour, depending on complexity and materials. Let us transform your outdoor vision into a vibrant reality.

Regulations and Permits for Landscaping in Guadassuar

Navigating local regulations and obtaining the necessary permits is a crucial, yet often overlooked, part of any landscaping project. At TuExterior, we are well-versed in the specific requirements for Guadassuar, ensuring your project complies with all municipal ordinances.

For certain elements of landscaping, particularly those involving structures or significant alterations, specific regulations apply. For instance, any awnings or pergolas we might integrate into your design would adhere to the European standard UNE-EN 13561, which specifies performance requirements including resistance to wind load and safety aspects. More broadly, all our work aligns with the local ordenanza (municipal by-law) and the Plan General de Ordenación Urbana (PGOU) – the municipal general plan for urban planning – of Guadassuar.

The type of permit required depends on the scope of your landscaping project:

• Obra Menor (Minor Works Permit): Most standard landscaping projects, such as planting, installing irrigation systems, constructing low walls, laying paving, or adding decorative features, typically fall under the category of obra menor. These permits are generally easier and quicker to obtain, as they involve less significant structural changes to the property or public space. We will advise you if your project requires an obra menor permit and can assist with the application process to the Guadassuar Town Hall.

• Licencia de Obra Mayor (Major Works Licence): For more extensive landscaping projects that involve significant structural changes, large-scale earth movements, the construction of substantial retaining walls, gazebos, or other permanent structures that alter the building footprint or volume, a licencia de obra mayor may be necessary. These major building permits are rigorously regulated by Article 222 of the Municipal General Plan's Urbanistic Regulations of Guadassuar. This article, in turn, refers to and is in accordance with Article 214 of the LOTUP (Ley 5/2014, de 25 de julio, de Ordenación del Territorio, Urbanismo y Paisaje de la Comunitat Valenciana). The LOTUP is the regional law governing land use, urban planning, and landscape in the Valencian Community, ensuring that all major developments are sustainable, environmentally sound, and contribute positively to the urban and natural landscape. Obtaining a licencia de obra mayor is a more complex process, requiring detailed architectural or engineering plans and a more thorough review by the municipal technical services. If your project necessitates this type of licence, we will clearly communicate this to you and guide you through every step of the application, often coordinating with local architects or engineers if required.

Our commitment is to ensure your landscaping project in Guadassuar is not only beautiful and functional but also fully compliant with all local laws and regulations, providing you with peace of mind.
