Landscaping & Garden Design in Ojós

Hello, I am Álvaro Ferrer, the project coordinator at TuExterior. As a specialist in Mediterranean outdoor design, I have spent years helping homeowners transform their plots into functional paradises. If you are looking for professional landscaping in Ojós, you have come to the right place. This beautiful corner of the Valle de Ricote is one of Murcia’s hidden gems, and designing here requires a deep understanding of our unique environment. With a small, tight-knit population of approximately 532 residents, Ojós offers a tranquil lifestyle that deserves an outdoor space to match. Whether you own a traditional house near the Segura River or a villa in areas like Caserío la Higuera, La Gachopa, El Solvente, or El Cajal, we understand the specific challenges of the inland climate. The intense summer heat and low rainfall in the valley demand drought-resistant planting and smart shading solutions. Regarding investment, in Ojós a landscaping typically runs 30-120 €/m² including local labour, depending on the complexity of the hardscaping and the choice of materials. My goal is to ensure your garden thrives in this rugged landscape while providing a cool retreat for your family.

Regulations and Permits for Landscaping in Ojós

Navigating the legal requirements for outdoor renovations in a small municipality requires local expertise. In Ojós, all exterior projects must adhere to the regional and municipal framework. The primary regulation is the Plan General de Ordenación Municipal (PGMO), which was partially approved in 2010. This document dictates the aesthetic standards, wall heights, and land use permitted within the town and its surrounding rural areas. Furthermore, all works are governed by the Ley 13/2015, de 30 de marzo, de ordenación territorial y urbanística de la Región de Murcia (LOTUS), which sets the standard for land development across the province.

For most landscaping projects, such as installing new paving, irrigation, or planting, you will typically only need to apply for a "Comunicación Previa" or "Obra Menor" (Minor Works License) at the Ojós Town Hall. This is a relatively straightforward process involving a small municipal fee. However, if your project involves structural changes, such as building a large swimming pool, significant retaining walls, or permanent outbuildings, a "Licencia de Obra Mayor" (Major Works License) backed by a technical project signed by an architect may be required. Additionally, for any installation of solar protection or motorized awnings, we ensure compliance with the UNE-EN 13561 standard, which regulates the wind resistance and safety requirements for external blinds and shutters. Our team handles the technical documentation to ensure your project is fully compliant with local law.
