Hello, I am Álvaro Ferrer, project coordinator at TuExterior. If you have recently moved to our charming town in the Horta Sud comarca, you likely appreciate the unique balance of residential comfort and agricultural heritage that defines this area. My mission is to help you transform your outdoor space through professional landscaping in Picaña, ensuring your garden thrives in our specific inland Mediterranean climate. With a population of approximately 11,876 residents, Picaña maintains a peaceful atmosphere in sought-after areas like the Vistabella urbanisation or the residential pockets near Partida de Faitanar and Partida de la Basseta. Whether you own a modern villa near the Polígono de Raga or a traditional property towards Partida del Realón, we understand the local soil and sun exposure. Investing in your garden not only improves your quality of life but also adds significant value to your property; in Picaña a landscaping typically runs 30-120 €/m² including local labour. We are here to bring your vision to life with expert local knowledge.

How we work

Step 1: Initial Contact

Reach out via our website or phone to discuss your vision; we will listen to your ideas and identify the specific needs of your Picaña property.

Step 2: Site Visit & Measuring

I will personally visit your home in Vistabella or the town centre to take precise measurements, analyse soil quality, and assess sun patterns for optimal plant placement.

Step 3: Free Detailed Quote

We provide a comprehensive, transparent proposal including material costs, plant selections suited for the Horta Sud, and a clear timeline for the project.

Step 4: Professional Installation

Our skilled team executes the design with precision, managing everything from irrigation systems to final planting, ensuring a clean and efficient transformation of your outdoor space.

Local Regulations and Permits in Picaña

Navigating the legal requirements for outdoor renovations in the Valencia region requires local expertise. In Picaña, all landscaping and exterior modifications must strictly adhere to the Plan General de Ordenación Urbana (PGOU) and the Ley de Ordenación del Territorio, Urbanismo y Paisaje (LOTUP). Because Picaña is deeply committed to its "Green Belt" identity, urban growth is tightly controlled to preserve the surrounding 'huerta' greenbelt that defines our landscape.

For most standard landscaping projects, such as planting, installing irrigation, or minor aesthetic changes, you will likely only need to file a 'Comunicación Previa' for an 'obra menor' (minor work) at the Ayuntamiento de Picaña. However, if your project involves structural changes, significant earthmoving, or permanent perimeter walls, a formal municipal licence is required. Furthermore, any installation of solar protection or pergolas must comply with the Spanish and European safety standard UNE-EN 13561. We handle the technical documentation required by the local council to ensure your project remains fully compliant with municipal ordinances, avoiding any potential fines and ensuring your investment is legally protected.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does landscaping cost in Picaña?
The cost of landscaping in Picaña generally ranges from 30 €/m² for basic garden refreshes and softscaping to 120 €/m² or more for complex projects involving hardscaping, high-end materials, and advanced irrigation. Factors such as the current state of the terrain in areas like Partida del Realón and the choice of Mediterranean versus exotic species will influence the final quote. We provide a detailed breakdown so you can see exactly where your budget is being allocated.
Do I need a licence for my garden project?
For simple gardening tasks and maintenance, no licence is required. However, for 'obra menor' projects—which include installing new flooring, building small retaining walls, or significant structural changes—you must notify the Picaña Town Hall. If the project is substantial, a municipal building permit is mandatory. We guide our clients through the PGOU requirements to ensure every stone laid is in accordance with local Picaña law.
How long does it take to complete a landscaping project?
A standard residential garden transformation in an area like Vistabella typically takes between two to four weeks, depending on the complexity and the weather. Smaller interventions might be finished in a few days, while large-scale estates requiring extensive excavation or custom masonry can take longer. We always provide a projected timeline during the quoting phase and pride ourselves on meeting our deadlines.
Do you cover all areas of Picaña?
Yes, TuExterior operates throughout the entire municipality of Picaña. We frequently work in the established urbanisations like Vistabella, the residential zones near the Polígono de Raga, and the more rural properties located in Partida de Faitanar, Partida de la Basseta, and Partida del Realón. Being based locally allows us to respond quickly to site visits and maintain close supervision over all our projects in the Horta Sud.
What warranty do you provide on your work?
We offer a comprehensive warranty on both the materials used and the labour performed. Hardscaping elements and installations such as irrigation systems come with a standard two-year guarantee. For living elements, we provide a "plant establishment" warranty, provided that the recommended maintenance and irrigation schedules are followed. Our goal is to ensure your garden in Picaña remains beautiful and healthy for years to come.
Can you design a garden that survives the Picaña summer with low water use?
Absolutely. Given the inland Mediterranean climate of Picaña, which can be quite dry and hot in the summer, we specialise in xeriscaping and Mediterranean-native gardens. By using local species that are adapted to the Horta Sud environment and installing smart drip irrigation systems, we can create a lush, beautiful space that requires significantly less water and maintenance than a traditional English lawn.
Do you handle the removal of old garden waste and debris?
Yes, our service is "turnkey," meaning we take care of everything from start to finish. This includes the clearing of the site, the removal of old vegetation or rubble, and its proper disposal at authorised waste treatment centres in accordance with Valencian environmental regulations. We leave your property clean and ready for you to enjoy your new outdoor living space immediately.
