Landscaping & Garden Design in Los Montesinos

Hello, I am Álvaro Ferrer, project coordinator at TuExterior. If you are looking to transform your outdoor space, you have come to the right place. Our team specializes in high-quality landscaping in Los Montesinos, a charming town in the heart of the Vega Baja del Segura comarca. With a population of approximately 5,682 residents, this area has seen wonderful growth in urbanisations like La Herrada, Laguna Azul, and the modern villas of Alba Salina. Living here means enjoying an inland Mediterranean climate, which is slightly drier and hotter than the immediate coast, requiring a specific approach to plant selection and irrigation. Whether you own a property in Loma de las Lagunas or near the quiet streets of La Marquesa, we understand the local soil and sun exposure. Regarding investment, in Los Montesinos a landscaping typically runs 30-120 €/m² including local labour, depending on the complexity of the design and materials chosen. My goal is to ensure your garden becomes a functional, beautiful extension of your home that thrives in our unique local environment.

Regulations and Permits for Landscaping in Los Montesinos

Navigating the legal requirements for outdoor renovations in the Vega Baja requires local expertise. In Los Montesinos, all exterior modifications must comply with the municipal urban planning regulations. Currently, the town is governed by the 1995 Normas Subsidiarias (NNSS), although it is important to note that a new Plan General de Ordenación Urbana (PGOU) is currently in the public consultation and approval phase. This transition means that certain zoning rules regarding boundary walls, heights, and land use are under review, and staying updated is crucial for any permanent structure.

For standard landscaping projects, the requirements vary based on the scope of work. Most garden renovations, such as installing artificial grass, planting, or minor decorative tiling, are classified as "Obra Menor" (Minor Works). This typically requires a simple notification or a "Comunicación Previa" at the Town Hall (Ayuntamiento), along with the payment of a small municipal tax. However, if your project involves structural elements like large retaining walls, swimming pools, or permanent pergolas, you will likely need a "Licencia de Obra Mayor," which requires a technical project signed by an architect.

Furthermore, if your landscaping includes the installation of solar protection or external structures, we adhere to the UNE-EN 13561 standard, which regulates the performance and safety requirements for external blinds and awnings. Our team handles the technical documentation and can advise you on whether your specific urbanisation, such as La Herrada or Alba Salina, has additional internal community rules (statutes) that might restrict certain aesthetic choices or colors to maintain a cohesive look across the neighborhood.
