Landscaping & Garden Design in Las Lagunas de Mijas

Hello, I am Álvaro Ferrer, project coordinator at TuExterior. Living and working in the Costa del Sol Occidental, I have seen how the urban landscape of Mijas has evolved into a vibrant hub. With a population of around 49,000 residents, this area is the commercial heart of the municipality, blending bustling streets with tranquil residential pockets. If you are looking for professional landscaping in Las Lagunas de Mijas, my team and I specialize in transforming outdoor spaces into private sanctuaries that respect the local environment. Whether you reside in the family-friendly streets of El Albero and Doña Ermita, or the more elevated, spacious villas of La Sierrezuela and El Coto, we understand the specific challenges of this territory. Being a coastal area, your garden faces significant salt exposure and high humidity, which dictates our choice of resilient Mediterranean flora and durable materials. To help you plan your investment, in Las Lagunas de Mijas a landscaping typically runs 30-120 €/m² including local labour. From the modern developments in Las Cañadas to the traditional plots near the Fuengirola border, we ensure your exterior reflects the quality of life we enjoy here in Málaga.

Regulations and Permits for Landscaping in Mijas

Navigating the legal framework for outdoor renovations in Las Lagunas de Mijas is essential to avoid fines and ensure the longevity of your project. All our installations, particularly those involving pergolas or retractable structures, strictly adhere to the UNE-EN 13561 standard, which regulates the safety and performance requirements for external blinds and awnings. This is crucial in the Costa del Sol, where wind resistance is a primary safety concern.

Regarding local planning, all works are governed by the Mijas PGOU (Plan General de Ordenación Urbana) and the regional Andalusian law known as LISTA (Ley de Impulso para la Sostenibilidad del Territorio de Andalucía). For most landscaping projects that do not involve structural changes or major excavations—such as planting, installing artificial turf, or setting up non-permanent decorative elements—a "Comunicación Previa" or "Obra Menor" permit is usually sufficient. This is a simplified process handled through the Mijas Town Hall (Ayuntamiento).

However, if your project involves building high perimeter walls, swimming pools, or permanent solid structures in urban plots like those in El Coto or Las Cañadas, a more formal building license (Licencia de Obra) is required. Under the current LISTA framework, urban plots in Las Lagunas generally permit straightforward building licenses, provided the project respects the occupation coefficients and boundary distances set out in the municipal ordinance. At TuExterior, we guide you through this bureaucracy to ensure your garden is fully compliant with local Mijas legislation.
