Landscaping & Garden Design in Reserva del Higuerón

Hello, I am Álvaro Ferrer, project coordinator at TuExterior. Over the years, I have seen how the unique topography of the Costa del Sol Occidental demands more than just basic gardening; it requires a deep understanding of the Mediterranean microclimate. If you are looking for professional landscaping in Reserva del Higuerón, you are likely navigating the challenges of steep slopes and the intense salt exposure typical of our coastal area. Whether you reside in the sleek apartments of Med One, the modern villas of Las Lomas del Higuerón, or the iconic Wave Collection, your outdoor space should be a seamless extension of the luxury found within the El Higuerón Sport Club. In Reserva del Higuerón a landscaping typically runs 30-120 €/m² including local labour, depending on the complexity of the terrain and the choice of materials. With a growing population of approximately 3,500 residents, this exclusive enclave requires specific botanical choices that can withstand the sea breeze while maintaining the lush, high-end aesthetic of the Hill Collection. My goal is to ensure your garden thrives in this specific environment, combining automated irrigation with sustainable, salt-tolerant plant species that reflect the prestige of your home.

Regulations and Permits in Reserva del Higuerón

Navigating the legal landscape of home improvements in this area requires precision, primarily because Reserva del Higuerón is uniquely divided between two different municipalities. Depending on where your plot boundary lies, you will be subject to either the Fuengirola or the Benalmádena PGOU (Plan General de Ordenación Urbana). This distinction is critical, as building licenses and municipal taxes (ICIO) vary significantly between the two town halls. For most landscaping projects that do not involve structural changes, a 'Comunicación Previa' or 'Obra Menor' permit is usually sufficient, but larger projects involving retaining walls or significant excavations require a more formal 'Licencia de Obra'.

Furthermore, all technical installations must comply with national safety standards. For instance, any outdoor shading structures or awnings we install adhere strictly to the UNE-EN 13561 standard, which regulates wind resistance and safety requirements. Additionally, the community of owners (Comunidad de Propietarios) within specific urbanisations like The Hill Collection or Med One often has internal bylaws regarding aesthetic uniformity. We take care of reviewing these local ordinances to ensure your project doesn’t just look spectacular, but is also fully compliant with both municipal law and community standards, preventing any future administrative headaches or fines.
