Landscaping & Garden Design in Mazarrón

Hello, I am Álvaro Ferrer, project coordinator at TuExterior. If you are looking to transform your garden or terrace into a Mediterranean sanctuary, you have come to the right place. Our team specializes in high-quality landscaping in Mazarrón, a beautiful coastal area within the Bajo Guadalentín comarca that presents unique challenges for outdoor design. With a population of approximately 35,449 residents, many of whom are international homeowners in urbanisations like Camposol, Mazarrón Country Club, or the stunning coastal villas of Bolnuevo, El Alamillo, and Mar de Plata, we understand the local nuances perfectly.

The coastal environment here means your outdoor structures and plants must withstand significant salt exposure and the intense Murcian sun. My role is to ensure that your project not only looks spectacular but is built to last using materials resistant to the maritime climate. Whether you want a low-maintenance xeriscape for a holiday home or a lush vertical garden for a permanent residence, we tailor every detail to the local soil and microclimate. Regarding investment, in Mazarrón a landscaping typically runs 30-120 €/m² including local labour, depending on the complexity of the hardscaping and the choice of botanical species. We take pride in delivering functional, beautiful spaces that respect the local ecosystem while enhancing your property's value.

Regulations and Permits for Landscaping in Mazarrón

Navigating the legal landscape in the Region of Murcia is essential for any outdoor renovation. In Mazarrón, all urban planning and construction activities are primarily governed by the Plan General Municipal de Ordenación (PGMO), which dates back to 1994. Although this plan is older, it has undergone numerous modifications to adapt to modern needs. Furthermore, for any new developments or significant changes in land use, the Ley de Ordenación Territorial y Urbanística de la Región de Murcia (LOTUS) applies, ensuring that projects align with regional environmental and density standards.

When it comes to the practical side of your project, the type of permit required depends on the scope of work. Most landscaping projects, such as installing irrigation systems, planting, or minor decorative walls, fall under 'obra menor' (minor works). In Mazarrón, the standard procedure for these tasks is the 'declaración responsable' (responsible declaration). This is an agile administrative tool that allows you to start your project almost immediately after notifying the Town Hall (Ayuntamiento de Mazarrón), provided you comply with the local ordinances.

For structural additions like large pergolas or significant earthmoving, a more formal municipal license may be required. Additionally, if your project involves installing awnings or external sun protection, we strictly adhere to the UNE-EN 13561 standard, which regulates the performance and safety requirements for external blinds and shutters. At TuExterior, we handle the technical documentation required by the PGMO to ensure your garden is not only beautiful but fully compliant with local law, avoiding any potential fines or issues during future property valuations.
