Hola, I am Álvaro Ferrer, project coordinator at TuExterior. Living and working in the Costa del Sol Occidental has taught me that every hillside in Benahavís presents a unique microclimate. If you are looking for professional landscaping in Los Arqueros, you understand that these properties—whether in the established Los Pinos and Las Jacarandas sectors or the modern apartments of Los Robles—require a specific touch. With a population of roughly 1,200 residents, Los Arqueros Golf & Country Club is a community that demands excellence to match its stunning mountain and sea views. Our inland climate here is slightly more extreme than the shoreline, with hot summers and cooler winter nights, meaning plant selection and irrigation are critical. We specialise in transforming terraces in La Torre and expansive villa gardens into Mediterranean sanctuaries. Regarding investment, in Los Arqueros a landscaping typically runs 30-120 €/m² including local labour, depending on whether we are installing high-end artificial grass, complex wooden decking, or advanced bioclimatic pergolas to combat the Andalusian sun.

Understanding Local Regulations and Permits

Navigating the legal framework for outdoor renovations in Benahavís is essential to avoid fines or forced removals. All installations involving solar protection, such as awnings or pergolas, must strictly adhere to the UNE-EN 13561 standard, which governs wind resistance and safety requirements. Beyond technical standards, landscaping in Los Arqueros is governed by the Benahavís PGOU (Plan General de Ordenación Urbana) and the regional LISTA regulations (Ley de Impulso para la Sostenibilidad del Territorio de Andalucía).

For most garden refurbishments or "obra menor" (minor works), such as changing flooring or installing irrigation, a "Comunicación Previa" to the Benahavís Town Hall is usually sufficient. However, if your project involves structural changes, significant earthmoving on the sloping terrain typical of the area, or permanent enclosures, a "Licencia de Obra" is required. Furthermore, Los Arqueros is known for its strict aesthetic controls maintained by the various Community of Owners. Whether you are in Las Jacarandas or Los Robles, we must ensure that the colours, materials, and heights of any structures—like pergolas or fences—comply with the community’s specific statutes to maintain the architectural harmony of the resort.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does landscaping cost in Los Arqueros?
The cost varies significantly based on the scope of the project and the materials chosen. On average, you can expect to invest between 30 € and 120 € per square meter. A simple refresh with new Mediterranean planting and gravel will sit at the lower end, while high-end projects involving porcelain tiling, custom lighting, and automated irrigation systems will reach the higher bracket. We always provide a fixed quote to ensure there are no surprises during the execution.
Do I need a licence for my garden project?
Yes, most outdoor projects in Benahavís require at least a "Comunicación Previa" at the Town Hall. For minor landscaping like planting or laying artificial grass, the process is simple. However, for structural elements like retaining walls or large pergolas, a formal permit is necessary. Additionally, because Los Arqueros is a private development, we must also check your specific community's bylaws to ensure compliance with communal aesthetic standards.
How long does it take to complete a project?
A standard terrace renovation or a small garden in areas like La Torre usually takes between 5 to 10 working days. Larger villa projects involving hardscaping, lighting, and extensive planting can take 3 to 6 weeks. We provide a clear schedule before starting, though we always advise clients that the administrative phase (obtaining permits) can add a few weeks to the total timeline depending on the Benahavís Town Hall's workload.
Do you cover all areas within Los Arqueros?
Absolutely. We provide full landscaping and outdoor design services across the entire Los Arqueros Golf & Country Club development. This includes the older, more established villas, as well as all the sub-communities such as Los Pinos, Las Jacarandas, Los Robles, La Torre, El Alto, and Los Almendros. We are very familiar with the specific terrain and access requirements of each sector within the resort.
What warranty do you provide on your work?
We offer a comprehensive warranty on all our installations. For structural elements like pergolas, decking, and paving, we typically provide a 2-year guarantee against defects in workmanship. Specific materials, such as artificial grass or motorization for awnings, often come with longer manufacturer warranties ranging from 5 to 10 years. We also offer a "settling-in" period for new plants to ensure the irrigation system is functioning perfectly.
Can you help with water-saving gardens (Xeriscaping)?
Given the climate in the Costa del Sol Occidental and frequent water restrictions in the Benahavís area, xeriscaping is one of our most requested services. We design beautiful, lush-looking gardens using drought-resistant native species, efficient drip irrigation, and decorative aggregates. This approach significantly reduces your water bill and maintenance needs while ensuring your garden remains vibrant even during the hot summer months in Los Arqueros.
Do you handle the community of owners' approvals?
While the homeowner is officially responsible for requesting permission from their community, we provide all the necessary technical drawings, material samples, and descriptions required for the application. We are experienced in dealing with the aesthetic requirements of Los Arqueros communities, which helps streamline the approval process and ensures your project meets the "look and feel" of your specific urbanisation.
