Landscaping & Garden Design in Salem

Hola, I am Álvaro Ferrer, project coordinator at TuExterior. If you are looking to transform your garden or terrace into a Mediterranean sanctuary, our team provides specialized landscaping in Salem tailored specifically for the unique environment of the La Vall d'Albaida comarca. With a small, dedicated population of approximately 394 residents, Salem offers a tranquil lifestyle that deserves outdoor spaces of equal serenity. Whether your property is located near the historic Partida Fronto, the scenic El Paraje, or the rustic surroundings of Les Coves and La Barchilla, we understand the local terrain. The inland climate here is characterized by hot summers and cooler winters compared to the coast, requiring a smart selection of drought-resistant flora and durable materials. My role is to ensure your vision aligns with the local soil conditions and architecture. Budgeting is always a priority for our clients; in Salem a landscaping typically runs 30-120 €/m² including local labour, depending on the complexity of the design and the materials chosen. We pride ourselves on creating functional, beautiful gardens that respect the authentic rural character of this beautiful Valencian village.

Regulations and Permits for Landscaping in Salem

Navigating the legal requirements for outdoor renovations in the Valencian Community is essential to avoid fines and ensure the longevity of your investment. In Salem, all exterior structures, such as pergolas or permanent awnings, must comply with the UNE-EN 13561 standard, which dictates the wind resistance and safety requirements for solar protection systems. Furthermore, any significant modification to your property’s exterior is governed by the local PGOU (Plan General de Ordenación Urbana) and the municipal ordinances of the Salem Town Hall.

Building permits in this region are strictly governed by the LOTUP (Ley de Ordenación del Territorio, Urbanismo y Paisaje). Because Salem is a village that values its traditional aesthetic, the local urban planning prioritizes the preservation of the traditional nucleus and the surrounding rural landscape. For simple gardening or minor repairs, a "comunicación previa" (prior notification) usually suffices. however, for structural changes like building swimming pools, high perimeter walls, or large porches, you must apply for an "obra menor" or "obra mayor" license. At TuExterior, we assist you in preparing the necessary documentation to ensure your project respects both the regional LOTUP regulations and Salem’s specific architectural heritage.
