Landscaping & Garden Design in La Alquería / Capanes del Golf

Hello, I am Álvaro Ferrer, project coordinator at TuExterior. Over the years, I have seen how the landscape of the Costa del Sol Occidental has evolved, and few places capture the essence of modern Mediterranean luxury quite like the hills of Benahavís. If you are looking for professional landscaping in La Alquería / Capanes del Golf, you are likely seeking a balance between the rugged beauty of the inland terrain and the sophisticated architecture of urbanisations like Lomas de La Alquería, La Alquería Homes, or the serene Atalaya Alta. With a local population of approximately 1,500 residents, this area offers a unique microclimate—slightly cooler and more elevated than the coastline, which requires a specific botanical approach to ensure your garden thrives year-round. Whether you own a front-line golf apartment in Capanes del Golf or a sprawling villa overlooking the Mediterranean, our goal is to create outdoor spaces that feel like a natural extension of your home. To give you a starting point for your budget, in La Alquería / Capanes del Golf a landscaping typically runs 30-120 €/m² including local labour, depending on the complexity of the hardscaping and the maturity of the plants selected.

Regulations and Permits for Landscaping in Benahavís

Navigating the legal landscape of home improvements in the Costa del Sol can be daunting, but La Alquería and Capanes del Golf fall under the jurisdiction of the Benahavís Town Hall. Currently, the municipality operates under the Benahavís PGOU (General Urban Planning Plan) and the broader regional framework of Andalusia’s LISTA (Ley de Impulso para la Sostenibilidad del Territorio de Andalucía). One significant advantage for residents here is that Benahavís is known for having a more streamlined administrative process, generally offering faster municipal license approvals than neighboring Marbella.

For standard landscaping projects, such as planting, irrigation, or minor decorative walls, the process usually requires a "Comunicación Previa" or an "Obra Menor" (minor works) permit. However, if your project involves significant structural changes, large swimming pools, or perimeter walls that alter the property's footprint, a "Licencia de Obra Mayor" may be necessary. Additionally, for any installations involving solar protection or terrace coverings, we strictly adhere to the UNE-EN 13561 standard for awnings and external blinds to ensure safety and wind resistance. We handle the technical documentation required by the Town Hall to ensure your project remains fully compliant with local ordinances, avoiding any potential fines or setbacks.
