Landscaping & Garden Design in Onda

Hello, I am Álvaro Ferrer, project coordinator at TuExterior. If you are looking to transform your garden or terrace, you have come to the right place for professional landscaping in Onda. Living in the heart of La Plana Baixa, I understand that our town, with its population of approximately 26,190 residents, offers a unique blend of industrial heritage and Mediterranean beauty. Whether you reside in the peaceful streets of the Sitjar Baix urbanisation, the modern villas of Nueva Onda, or the scenic areas of Sonella, Monteblanco, and El Salvador, your outdoor space deserves to be an oasis. Our inland climate presents specific challenges, with hot summers and cooler winters compared to the coast, requiring a smart selection of plants and durable materials. At TuExterior, we specialise in creating functional, beautiful spaces that respect the local environment. Regarding investment, in Onda a landscaping typically runs 30-120 €/m² including local labour, depending on the complexity of the hardscaping and the choice of vegetation. My goal is to guide you through every step, ensuring your garden reflects the character of our wonderful town while providing a private retreat for your family.

Regulations and Permits in Onda

Navigating the legal requirements for landscaping and outdoor structures in Onda is essential to avoid fines and ensure the longevity of your investment. All installations involving solar protection, such as awnings or pergolas, must comply with the Spanish and European standard UNE-EN 13561, which dictates wind resistance and safety requirements. Beyond national standards, every project must adhere to the local municipal ordinances and the Plan General de Ordenación Urbana (PGOU).

In Onda, the current urban planning is governed by the PGOU of 1998 and the regional TRLOTUP (Texto Refundido de la Ley de Ordenación del Territorio, Urbanismo y Paisaje). For most landscaping projects, such as planting, installing irrigation, or minor decorative walls, a "Declaración Responsable" or "Obra Menor" permit is usually sufficient. This is a simplified process that allows work to begin shortly after notifying the Ayuntamiento.

However, if your property is located within the protected historic centre (declared a Bien de Interés Cultural - BIC) or near the castle, restrictions are much stricter regarding materials and aesthetics to preserve the town's heritage. Furthermore, specific environmental restrictions apply in the "Pulmón Verde" area to protect local biodiversity. If your project involves significant structural changes, large excavations, or permanent buildings, a full municipal licence (Obra Mayor) will be required, involving a technical project signed by an architect. At TuExterior, we handle the technical documentation to ensure your garden meets every local legal requirement.
