Landscaping & Garden Design in Murla

Hola, I am Álvaro Ferrer, project coordinator at TuExterior. If you are looking to transform your outdoor space in the stunning Pop Valley, you have come to the right place. Specialising in landscaping in Murla, my team and I understand the unique charm and challenges of this corner of the Marina Alta. With a small, tight-knit population of approximately 574 residents, Murla offers a tranquil lifestyle that deserves a garden to match. Whether you own a villa in the established Puerta del Valle or Colina Oeste urbanisations, or perhaps a more rustic property in Partida Garroferal or the scenic Comeig area, we tailor our designs to the local environment. The inland climate here is distinct, with hotter summers and cooler winters than the coast, requiring a smart selection of Mediterranean flora and durable materials. Regarding investment, in Murla a landscaping typically runs 30-120 €/m² including local labour, depending on the complexity of the hardscaping and the maturity of the plants chosen. We are here to help you create a sustainable, beautiful sanctuary.

How we work

Our methodology is designed to be transparent and efficient, ensuring your Murla garden project progresses smoothly from the first sketch to the final planting.

Step 1: Initial contact

Reach out via our form or phone to discuss your vision; we will listen to your needs and provide initial guidance based on your property's location in the Marina Alta.

Step 2: Site visit and measuring

I will personally visit your home in Murla to take precise measurements, analyse soil conditions, and assess the sun exposure of your plot to ensure the design is viable.

Step 3: Free quote

You will receive a detailed, no-obligation proposal breaking down costs for materials, plants, and labour, tailored specifically to the requirements of your outdoor space.

Step 4: Professional installation

Our expert crew handles everything from irrigation and lighting to paving and planting, working cleanly and respecting your privacy until the transformation is complete.

Local regulations and permits in Murla

Navigating the legal landscape is essential for any exterior renovation in the Alicante province. In Murla, urban planning and construction are primarily regulated by the 1990 Normas Subsidiarias (Subsidiary Rules) and the regional LOTUP (Ley de Ordenación del Territorio, Urbanismo y Paisaje) framework. These documents dictate what can be built, the maximum height of perimeter walls, and the percentage of "green area" that must be maintained on your plot. For most landscaping projects, such as installing new paving, building a small retaining wall, or putting up a pergola, you will need to apply for an "Obra Menor" (Minor Works) permit at the Murla Ayuntamiento. This is a relatively straightforward process that involves paying a small municipal tax.

However, if your project involves significant structural changes, large swimming pools, or affects the footprint of the house, a more complex "Obra Mayor" licence may be required, necessitating a technical project signed by an architect. Furthermore, for any sun protection installations like awnings or bioclimatic pergolas, we strictly adhere to the UNE-EN 13561 standard, which ensures wind resistance and safety. It is also worth noting that properties located near the village centre or in protected rural zones may face stricter aesthetic guidelines to preserve the traditional white-washed character of the Marina Alta. At TuExterior, we handle the technical documentation to ensure your project complies with all local PGOU requirements.
