Landscaping & Garden Design in Salinas

Hello, I am Álvaro Ferrer, project coordinator at TuExterior. Over the years, I have helped many international residents transform their outdoor spaces into Mediterranean havens. If you are looking for professional landscaping in Salinas, you have come to the right place. Nestled in the Alt Vinalopó comarca, Salinas is a hidden gem with a population of approximately 1,733 people, offering a peaceful lifestyle surrounded by the Sierra de Salinas. Whether you live in established urbanisations like La Molineta, El Puntal, or the charming Colonia del Alto Ideal, or perhaps near the serene area of Els Platans, your garden needs to withstand the specific inland climate of the Alicante province. Here, we experience scorching summers and surprisingly crisp winters, which requires a deep understanding of local soil and flora. Regarding investment, in Salinas a landscaping typically runs 30-120 €/m² including local labour, depending on the complexity and materials chosen. My goal is to ensure your garden is not only beautiful but sustainable and compliant with local standards.

Regulations and Permits for Landscaping in Salinas

Navigating the legal landscape in the Valencian Community is essential for any home improvement. In Salinas, all outdoor structures must adhere to the municipal PGOU (Plan General de Ordenación Urbana). It is important to note that the Salinas Town Hall is currently drafting a new Plan General Estructural (PGE) to adapt its local urban planning to the Valencian LOTUP (Ley de Ordenación del Territorio, Urbanismo y Paisaje) framework. This means that requirements for setbacks and land use are becoming more strictly aligned with regional environmental standards.

For most landscaping projects, such as installing pergolas or new flooring, you will need to apply for an "Obra Menor" (Minor Works) permit at the Ayuntamiento. However, if your project involves significant structural changes, large retaining walls, or major excavations, a more complex "Licencia de Obra Mayor" may be required. Additionally, for any sun protection installations like awnings, we strictly follow the UNE-EN 13561 standard, which regulates the wind resistance and safety requirements for external blinds and shutters. Ensuring your project follows these codes prevents future fines and ensures the structural integrity of your home.
