Hola, I am Álvaro Ferrer, project coordinator at TuExterior. If you have recently moved to our beautiful corner of the La Costera comarca, you likely already know that the Mediterranean lifestyle is lived outdoors. My mission is to help you transform your plot into a functional sanctuary. Whether you are looking for professional landscaping in Novelé for a villa in the quiet Casas de Quilis area or need to renovate a terrace near the town center, our team understands the specific requirements of this region. With a population of around 856 residents, Novelé offers a peaceful inland atmosphere, but our climate can be demanding. We experience hot, dry summers and occasional torrential rains, which means your garden needs more than just aesthetics; it needs resilience. From the elevated views of Vistabella to the rustic plots in Vallfarta or Valles, we adapt our designs to the local soil and sun exposure. To give you a starting point, in Novelé a landscaping typically runs 30-120 €/m² including local labour, depending on whether you require hardscaping, irrigation, or pergolas.

Regulations and Permits in Novelé

Navigating the legal requirements for outdoor renovations is essential to avoid fines and ensure the longevity of your investment. In Novelé, all exterior modifications must align with the local Plan General de Ordenación Urbana (PGOU). The local urban planning department (Ayuntamiento de Novelé) handles licenses for works, activities, and opening establishments, including major and minor works. It is a strict requirement that works cannot commence before obtaining the corresponding licenses, and administrative fees apply based on the project’s budget.

For smaller projects, such as tiling a patio or installing a low garden wall, a 'Comunicación Previa' or 'Obra Menor' permit is usually sufficient. However, if your landscaping project involves structural changes, large retaining walls, or significant excavations, a 'Licencia de Obra Mayor' may be required, often needing a technical project signed by an architect. Furthermore, when we install sun protection systems like awnings or bioclimatic pergolas, we strictly adhere to the UNE-EN 13561 standard, which regulates the wind resistance and safety requirements for external blinds and awnings. We handle the technical documentation necessary to ensure your project meets both municipal bylaws and European safety standards.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does landscaping cost in Novelé?
The cost generally ranges between 30 €/m² for basic softscaping and planting up to 120 €/m² for premium projects involving stone masonry, advanced irrigation, and lighting. Factors such as the slope of your land in areas like Vistabella or the ease of access for machinery in the town center will influence the final price. We provide a fixed quote after the site visit to avoid surprises.
Do I need a licence for landscaping?
Yes, most outdoor works in Novelé require at least a minor works permit (Obra Menor) from the Town Hall. This includes laying new flooring, building pergolas, or installing permanent fences. For simple planting or portable irrigation, permits are usually not necessary, but we always recommend checking the current municipal ordinance to ensure compliance before we start digging.
How long does a typical project take?
A standard residential garden renovation usually takes between 2 to 4 weeks. Smaller interventions like installing an artificial grass area or a new awning under UNE-EN 13561 standards can be completed in a few days. Larger projects in rural areas like Vallfarta that require earthmoving or complex hardscaping may take longer depending on weather conditions and permit approvals.
Do you cover Novelé and the surrounding La Costera area?
Absolutely. We are based locally and serve the entire municipality of Novelé, including the urbanisations of Casas de Quilis, Vistabella, and the agricultural zones of Valles and Polígono 4. We also extend our services to neighboring towns like Xàtiva and Manuel, ensuring that English-speaking residents in the inland Valencia province receive high-quality, reliable landscaping services.
What warranty do you provide on your work?
We offer a comprehensive warranty that covers both materials and installation. For structural elements and hardscaping, we provide a 2-year guarantee against defects. For living elements like plants and turf, the warranty is subject to the installation of a proper automated irrigation system. All our solar protection installations comply with European safety standards, giving you peace of mind regarding durability and wind resistance.
Can you design a low-maintenance garden for the Novelé climate?
Yes, this is our specialty. Given the hot inland climate of the La Costera region, we focus on 'Xeriscaping'—using native Mediterranean plants that require minimal water once established. By combining gravel, decorative stone, and drought-resistant species with efficient drip irrigation, we can create a lush-looking garden that doesn't demand hours of weekly maintenance or high water bills.
Is it possible to install a pergola or awning on my terrace?
Certainly. We install a wide range of solar protection systems that must comply with the UNE-EN 13561 standard. Whether you have a rooftop terrace in the village or a large poolside deck in an urbanisation, we can design a solution that provides shade while respecting the local aesthetic and wind safety requirements. We handle the measurements to ensure the structure fits perfectly within your available space.
