Landscaping & Garden Design in Guardamar del Segura

Hello, I am Álvaro Ferrer, project coordinator at TuExterior. If you are looking to transform your garden or terrace into a Mediterranean oasis, you have come to the right place for landscaping in Guardamar del Segura. Managing outdoor projects in this corner of the Vega Baja del Segura requires a deep understanding of our unique environment. With a population of approximately 18,063 residents, Guardamar is a vibrant community where English-speaking expats in urbanisations like El Raso, Moncayo, and Buenavista seek to make the most of our 300 days of sunshine. However, the coastal proximity brings specific challenges, particularly the high salt exposure and humidity that can affect materials and plant life near Guardamar Playa or Las Viñas. At TuExterior, we specialise in selecting salt-tolerant species and durable materials that withstand the sea breeze. Regarding investment, in Guardamar del Segura a landscaping typically runs 30-120 €/m² including local labour, depending on whether you require hardscaping, irrigation systems, or high-end outdoor furniture. My goal is to ensure your project reflects the beauty of the Segura river mouth while remaining functional and long-lasting.

4. Installation and handover: Our expert local teams execute the project with minimal disruption, followed by a final walkthrough to ensure every detail meets our high standards.

Regulations and Permits in Guardamar del Segura

Navigating the legal landscape is essential for any outdoor renovation in the Alicante province. In Guardamar del Segura, all exterior installations must comply with the UNE-EN 13561 standard, which specifically regulates the safety and performance requirements for solar protection systems like awnings and pergolas. Beyond technical standards, we must adhere to the local PGOU (Plan General de Ordenación Urbana) and municipal ordinances.

For most landscaping projects, such as installing artificial grass, irrigation, or decorative planters, a "Comunicación Previa" or "Obra Menor" permit is usually sufficient. This is a simplified process for minor works that do not alter the structural integrity of the building. However, Guardamar has very specific restrictions that homeowners must be aware of. For instance, the Ley de Costas (Coastal Law) is strictly enforced, particularly in the sensitive frontline areas like Babilonia beach, where any modification is heavily scrutinized by the central government. Furthermore, recent updates to the PGOU have introduced restrictions on tourist licenses, often limiting them to detached villas rather than apartments, which can influence how you choose to develop your outdoor space if you intend to rent the property. We handle the paperwork to ensure your project is 100% legal.
