Landscaping & Garden Design in Ráfol de Almunia

Hello, I am Álvaro Ferrer, project coordinator at TuExterior. If you are looking for professional landscaping in Ráfol de Almunia, my team and I are here to help you transform your outdoor space into a Mediterranean sanctuary. Located in the heart of the stunning Marina Alta comarca, Ráfol de Almunia is a charming village of approximately 732 residents where the inland climate—characterized by hot, dry summers and mild winters—demands a specific approach to garden design. Whether you own a villa in the established Almunia Hills, a property in Residencial La Almunia, or a plot in the Les Colmenes area bordering the Segaria mountain, we understand the local soil and wind patterns. We also frequently work in the sectors of Monte Pego that fall within this municipality. Regarding investment, in Ráfol de Almunia a landscaping typically runs 30-120 €/m² including local labour, depending on whether you choose xeriscaping, synthetic turf, or complex hardscaping. Our goal is to create sustainable, beautiful gardens that respect the authentic character of this quiet corner of Alicante.

Regulations and Local Permits in Ráfol de Almunia

Navigating the legal requirements for outdoor renovations in a small municipality requires local knowledge. In Ráfol de Almunia, all exterior structures like pergolas or large awnings must comply with the UNE-EN 13561 standard, which regulates the wind resistance and safety requirements for solar protection systems. Beyond technical standards, any significant landscaping work is governed by the municipal PGOU (General Plan of Urban Planning).

Currently, the Ayuntamiento is in a transitional phase; they are drafting a new PGE (General Structural Plan) and POP (Detailed Management Plan) under the framework of the LOTUP (2021), the Valencian Law on Land Management, Urbanism, and Landscape. This modernization aims to increase landscape protection and ensure that new developments in areas like Almunia Hills maintain the aesthetic harmony of the valley.

For most landscaping projects, such as installing irrigation, planting, or minor decorative tiling, you will only need to file a "Declaración Responsable" or an "Obra Menor" (Minor Works) permit at the Town Hall. However, if your project involves significant earthmoving, perimeter walls higher than the standard allowance, or permanent structures like large swimming pools or guest houses, a full "Licencia de Obra Mayor" (Major Works License) is required. We assist our clients in identifying which category their project falls into to ensure full compliance with the latest LOTUP regulations.
