Landscaping & Garden Design in La Romana

Hello, I am Álvaro Ferrer, project coordinator at TuExterior. If you have chosen the Vinalopó Mitjà for your home, you already know that the inland charm of this region is unmatched, but its climate requires a specific approach to outdoor living. Whether you live in the quiet streets of the village or in one of the popular urbanisations like La Alcaná, Batistes, or El Reclot, creating a functional garden is essential. Our team specialises in landscaping in La Romana, a town of approximately 2,632 residents where the hot, dry summers and cool winters dictate which materials and plants will actually thrive. We understand the local terrain, from the foothills of the Sierra del Reclot to the residential plots in Boquera and Juan Blanco. My goal is to ensure your terrace or garden becomes a seamless extension of your home. To give you a starting point, in La Romana a landscaping typically runs 30-120 €/m² including local labour, depending on whether you are looking for simple xeriscaping or a full structural renovation.

How we work

1. Initial Contact: Reach out via our form or phone to discuss your vision for your La Romana property and schedule a consultation.
2. Site Visit & Measuring: I will personally visit your home in areas like La Alcaná or the town centre to take precise measurements and assess the soil and sun exposure.
3. Free Quote: We provide a detailed, transparent proposal tailored to the specific microclimate of the Vinalopó Mitjà with no hidden costs.
4. Professional Installation: Our local crews execute the project, managing everything from earthmoving to the final installation of pergolas or artificial grass.

Local Regulations and Planning Permits

Navigating the legal requirements for outdoor renovations in La Romana is crucial to avoid fines and ensure your investment is protected. All our installations, particularly sun protection systems, strictly adhere to the UNE-EN 13561 standard, which regulates the wind resistance and safety requirements for awnings and external blinds. This is particularly important in the inland areas of Alicante where gusty winds can occur.

Regarding construction and modifications, the town operates under the PGOU (Plan General de Ordenación Urbana) of 2005. It is important to note that the Ayuntamiento de La Romana is currently working on a 2024 structural modification of this plan to ensure full compliance with the LOTUP (Ley de Ordenación del Territorio, Urbanismo y Paisaje). For most landscaping projects, such as installing a fence, tiling a patio, or building a small pergola, you will typically need to apply for an "Obra Menor" (Minor Works) permit. This is a relatively straightforward process involving a small fee and a description of the work. However, for larger structures or significant changes to the footprint of the property, a full "Licencia de Obra" may be required. We assist our clients in identifying which permit is necessary based on the current municipal ordinances to ensure every project is 100% legal.
