Hello, I am Álvaro Ferrer, project coordinator at TuExterior. If you have chosen to live in the heart of La Plana Alta, you already know that this region offers a unique blend of Mediterranean light and rugged inland character. With a population of approximately 3,103 residents, this town is a hidden gem where outdoor living isn't just a luxury—it’s a way of life. Whether you own a villa in the quiet streets of La Barona, a farmhouse in Montalba, or a modern property in Mas de Roures, we are here to help. Our team specializes in professional landscaping in Vall d'Alba, adapting every project to the specific inland climate of Castellón, which sees hot summers and surprisingly crisp winters. We understand the local terrain, from the red earth of La Pelechaneta to the open vistas of Mas de la Matisa. In Vall d'Alba a landscaping typically runs 30-120 €/m² including local labour, depending on the complexity of the masonry and the choice of native vegetation. My goal is to ensure your garden or terrace becomes a functional extension of your home, respecting the authentic rural charm of our municipality while providing modern comfort.

Regulations and Permits for Landscaping in Vall d'Alba

Navigating the legal requirements for outdoor renovations in the province of Castellón is essential to avoid fines or future legal issues. Any permanent structure or significant modification to your exterior space is subject to the TRLOTUP (Texto Refundido de la Ley de Ordenación del Territorio, Urbanismo y Paisaje de la Comunitat Valenciana). This regional law dictates how land can be used and what can be built, ensuring that the rural and urban harmony of our landscape is preserved.

For smaller projects, such as installing a pergola or replacing a terrace floor, you generally only need to file an "omunicación previa" or "obra menor" (minor works permit) at the Vall d'Alba Town Hall. This is a relatively quick process that allows you to start work almost immediately after paying the municipal fee. However, for more substantial structures, such as large swimming pools or perimeter walls, a full "licencia de obra" (building license) signed by a technical professional may be required.

It is particularly important to note that Vall d'Alba has specific industrial and logistics growth areas. For instance, projects located in developed industrial sectors like Caseta Blanca require direct licensing and must strictly adhere to the municipal PGOU (Plan General de Ordenación Urbana). Furthermore, all our installations involving solar protection follow the UNE-EN 13561 standard, which regulates the safety and performance requirements for external blinds and awnings. At TuExterior, we handle the technical documentation to ensure your project complies with every local ordinance.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does landscaping cost in Vall d'Alba?
The cost generally ranges between 30 € and 120 € per square meter. This variation depends on whether you are looking for simple Mediterranean planting and gravel or more complex structural work like stone walls, high-end artificial grass, or advanced irrigation systems. We provide a detailed breakdown so you know exactly where your investment is going, considering the specific logistics of delivering materials to inland Castellón.
Do I need a licence for my garden project?
Yes, most projects require at least a minor works permit (obra menor) from the Vall d'Alba Town Hall. Simple gardening usually doesn't need paperwork, but as soon as you add paving, fences, or permanent pergolas, the local PGOU and the TRLOTUP regulations apply. We can guide you through the application process to ensure your renovation is 100% legal.
How long does it take to complete a landscaping project?
A standard residential garden in areas like Mas de la Matisa or Montalba typically takes between 2 to 4 weeks once the materials arrive. Smaller terrace renovations can be finished in a few days, while large-scale transformations involving excavation or masonry may take longer. We always provide a clear timeline before we start so you can plan your schedule accordingly.
Do you cover Vall d'Alba and the surrounding hamlets?
Absolutely. We provide full services across the entire municipality, including the town centre and all outlying "pedanías" such as La Barona, La Pelechaneta, and Mas de Roures. We are very familiar with the local geography of La Plana Alta and have no issues transporting equipment or materials to more remote rural properties or inland villas.
What warranty do you provide on your work?
We offer a comprehensive warranty on both materials and workmanship. Our structural installations come with a standard 2-year guarantee, while specific products like high-quality artificial turf or awnings (compliant with UNE-EN 13561) often carry manufacturer warranties of up to 5 or 10 years. We pride ourselves on using durable materials that can withstand the temperature swings of the Castellón interior.
Can you design a low-maintenance garden for my second home?
This is one of our most requested services in Vall d'Alba. Since many residents use their properties as weekend retreats, we specialize in xeriscaping—using native plants that require very little water and automated irrigation systems. By combining decorative stone, high-quality paving, and hardy local flora, we create beautiful spaces that look great even if you aren't there every day to tend to them.
Is the inland climate of Vall d'Alba a problem for certain plants?
The climate here is more extreme than on the coast, with colder winters and very dry summers. We select species that are "climatized" to La Plana Alta. We avoid tropical plants that might freeze in January and instead focus on olive trees, lavender, rosemary, and cypress, which thrive in our local soil and weather conditions, ensuring your garden stays green year-round.
