Hello, I am Álvaro Ferrer, project coordinator at TuExterior. If you are looking to transform your terrace, garden, or commercial terrace into a Mediterranean oasis, you have come to the right place for landscaping in Los Boliches. Living in this vibrant corner of the Costa del Sol Occidental means enjoying over 300 days of sunshine, but it also presents unique challenges for outdoor spaces. With a local population of around 18,000 residents, Los Boliches is a densely packed coastal area where salt exposure from the Mediterranean Sea and the humid Levante winds can quickly wear down low-quality materials. Whether you own a frontline apartment on the Playa de los Boliches, a townhouse in the traditional San Francisco area, or a villa in nearby urbanisations like Las Chozas or the outskirts of Los Pacos, we understand the specific microclimate of Fuengirola. Our goal is to create functional, beautiful spaces that withstand the coastal elements while adding value to your property. Regarding investment, in Los Boliches a landscaping typically runs 30-120 €/m² including local labour, depending on the complexity and materials chosen.

Regulations and Permits for Landscaping in Los Boliches

Navigating the legal landscape for outdoor renovations in Fuengirola requires local expertise. Any project we undertake is governed by the Fuengirola PGOU (Plan General de Ordenación Urbana), which dictates the aesthetic and structural limits for exterior modifications. For residents in Los Boliches, it is crucial to distinguish between an "Obra Menor" (minor works) permit and a full building licence. Most landscaping projects, such as installing pergolas or replacing flooring, fall under the Obra Menor category, which involves a simpler notification process and a small municipal tax.

Furthermore, because Los Boliches is a coastal district, frontline properties are strictly subject to the Spanish Ley de Costas (Coastal Law). This law regulates any permanent structures within the protection zone of the maritime-terrestrial public domain to ensure environmental preservation and public access. We also ensure that all our solar protection installations, such as awnings and bioclimatic structures, strictly adhere to the UNE-EN 13561 standard. This European regulation ensures that the products have been tested for wind resistance and safety. If you live in a community of owners (Comunidad de Vecinos), we also verify that your project respects the community’s statutes regarding external uniformity, preventing future legal disputes with neighbours.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does landscaping cost in Los Boliches?
The cost is highly variable depending on the square footage and the quality of finishes. Generally, you can expect to invest between 30 € and 120 € per square metre. This range covers everything from basic artificial grass installation and deck tiling to more complex structures like custom pergolas or outdoor kitchens. Factors such as the ease of access to your terrace (especially in older apartments without large lifts) and the specific requirements for salt-resistant materials will influence the final budget. We provide a detailed breakdown so you know exactly where your money is going.
Do I need a licence for my landscaping project?
Yes, most exterior modifications in Fuengirola require at least a "Comunicación Previa" or an "Obra Menor" permit from the Town Hall. If the project involves structural changes or significantly alters the facade of a building in a busy area like the Paseo Marítimo, the requirements might be more stringent. We handle the technical documentation needed for these permits to ensure your project complies with the Fuengirola PGOU. It is always better to do things legally to avoid fines or being forced to dismantle the installation later.
How long does the installation take?
A standard landscaping project in Los Boliches typically takes between 3 to 10 working days once the materials have arrived. Simple projects like installing high-quality artificial turf or a basic awning can be done in 48 hours. More comprehensive renovations involving masonry, lighting, and custom-built structures may take up to two weeks. We pride ourselves on sticking to the agreed timeline, as we know how important it is for you to enjoy your outdoor space during the sunny Costa del Sol seasons.
Do you cover all areas of Los Boliches?
Absolutely. We provide services throughout the entire Los Boliches district, from the frontline apartments on the beach to the residential areas bordering Los Pacos and the quiet streets of San Francisco. We are also very active in established urbanisations like Las Chozas. Our team is mobile and fully equipped to work in both the narrow streets of the old town and the newer residential complexes, managing all necessary parking permits for our service vehicles if required by the local police.
What warranty do you provide on your work?
We offer a comprehensive warranty that covers both the materials and the installation. For structural elements like pergolas and awnings, we follow the manufacturer's warranties which usually range from 5 to 10 years against factory defects. For the labour and installation, TuExterior provides a 2-year guarantee. Given the high salinity and humidity in Los Boliches, we only use marine-grade stainless steel and treated timbers to ensure that our work lasts much longer than the legal minimums.
Can you help with wind-resistant solutions?
Yes, this is one of our specialties. Los Boliches can experience strong winds, especially during the winter or during sudden "Levante" storms. We recommend and install systems certified under the UNE-EN 13561 standard, which classifies products by their wind resistance. For high-rise terraces near the beach, we often suggest bioclimatic pergolas or reinforced awnings with automatic wind sensors that retract the fabric when gusts reach a certain speed, protecting your investment from damage.
How do you handle salt exposure on the frontline?
Salt corrosion is the biggest enemy of landscaping in Los Boliches. We mitigate this by selecting specific materials: 316-grade stainless steel (marine grade), powder-coated aluminium with Seaside quality treatment, and synthetic woods or composites that do not rot or warp. We advise against using standard iron or untreated softwoods, as they require constant maintenance and will fail within a few seasons. Our designs focus on "low maintenance" so you can spend your time enjoying the sea views rather than scrubbing rust.
