Landscaping & Garden Design in Los Naranjos de Marbella

Hello, I am Álvaro Ferrer, project coordinator at TuExterior. If you are looking to elevate your outdoor living space, our team specializes in bespoke landscaping in Los Naranjos de Marbella, a prestigious enclave within the Costa del Sol Occidental. This area, home to approximately 2,500 residents, demands a specific approach to garden design due to its unique microclimate. Whether you reside in the traditional Andalusian charm of Los Naranjos de Marbella Phase 1, the elevated plots of Albatross Hill, or the luxury villas of La Cerquilla, your garden faces the constant challenge of coastal salt exposure and intense Mediterranean sun. We understand the soil composition and drainage needs of local urbanisations like Los Naranjos Country Club and the lush surroundings near Las Brisas golf course. Our goal is to create sustainable, beautiful retreats that respect the local environment while maximizing your property value. In Los Naranjos de Marbella a landscaping typically runs 30-120 €/m² including local labour, depending on the complexity of the hardscaping and the maturity of the botanical selections required for your specific plot.

Regulations and Permits for Landscaping in Marbella

Navigating the legal framework for outdoor renovations in Los Naranjos de Marbella is essential to avoid fines and ensure the longevity of your investment. All external modifications in this area are subject to the Marbella PGOU (Plan General de Ordenación Urbana) and the regional Andalusian law known as LISTA (Ley de Impulso para la Sostenibilidad del Territorio de Andalucía). These regulations dictate what can be built, the percentage of green space required on a plot, and the types of structures permitted.

For most landscaping projects, such as installing irrigation, new planting schemes, or decorative paving, a "Declaración Responsable" or an "Obra Menor" (minor works license) is typically required from the Marbella Town Hall (Ayuntamiento). This process confirms that the work complies with local aesthetic and technical standards. If your project involves structural changes, such as retaining walls over a certain height or large permanent pergolas, a more complex "Obra Mayor" license might be necessary, requiring a project signed by a registered architect.

Furthermore, for any solar protection or textile installations like awnings, we strictly adhere to the UNE-EN 13561 standard, which regulates performance and safety requirements. It is also important to note that many urbanisations in Los Naranjos de Marbella have their own Internal Community Rules. These often mandate specific colors for awnings or types of fencing to maintain a cohesive look across the phase. We handle the technical documentation and can assist in liaising with your community president or administrator to ensure every detail of your landscaping project is fully compliant with both municipal law and neighborhood statutes.
