Hello, I am Álvaro Ferrer, project coordinator at TuExterior. If you are looking to transform your garden or terrace, you have come to the right place. My team and I specialise in high-end landscaping in San Isidro, a charming town of approximately 2,208 residents nestled in the heart of the Vega Baja del Segura. Whether you live in the historic Núcleo Urbano, the peaceful Zona del Palmeral, or own a commercial space near the Polígono Industrial La Granadina, we understand the specific environmental challenges of this area. Unlike the coastal towns, San Isidro experiences a more intense inland climate, with scorching summers and very low humidity that requires a smart, water-conscious approach to greenery. We pride ourselves on creating outdoor spaces that respect the local ecosystem while providing a private oasis for English-speaking homeowners. Regarding investment, in San Isidro a landscaping typically runs 30-120 €/m² including local labour, depending on the complexity of the hardscaping and the choice of Mediterranean flora. Our goal is to ensure your project integrates seamlessly with the unique landscape of the Alicante plains.

Regulations and Permits in San Isidro

Navigating the legal landscape is a crucial part of any outdoor renovation in the Vega Baja. In San Isidro, all exterior projects must adhere to the local Plan General Estructural (PGE), which is the primary document defining urban growth and the protection of our unique landscape, particularly the sensitive "saladares" (salt marshes) that surround our municipality. Furthermore, any structural work is subject to the LOTUP (Ley de Ordenación del Territorio, Urbanismo y Paisaje), the regional law of the Valencian Community.

For minor aesthetic changes, such as planting or installing non-permanent features, a "Declaración Responsable" (Responsible Declaration) is often sufficient. However, for "Obra Menor" (Minor Works) involving pergolas, walls, or significant paving, you must apply for a municipal license at the San Isidro Town Hall. If we are installing sun protection systems, we strictly follow the UNE-EN 13561 standard for outdoor awnings to ensure wind resistance and safety. Our team handles the technical documentation required by the PGOU (Plan General de Ordenación Urbana) to ensure your project is 100% legal and avoids future fines.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does landscaping cost in San Isidro?
The cost is influenced by the inland conditions of the Vega Baja. Generally, you can expect to invest between 30 € and 120 € per square metre. A simple xeriscaping project with gravel and native shrubs is at the lower end, while projects involving automated irrigation, outdoor lighting, and high-quality paving in areas like the Núcleo Urbano will reach the higher end of the spectrum. We always provide a fixed-price quote to avoid surprises.
Do I need a licence for landscaping in San Isidro?
Yes, most projects require at least a communication to the Ayuntamiento. For simple gardening, it is a formality. However, if your project involves structural elements, swimming pools, or large retaining walls, a formal "Obra Menor" or "Obra Mayor" licence is mandatory under the local PGE regulations. We assist our clients in preparing the necessary paperwork to ensure compliance with the LOTUP.
How long does a typical landscaping project take?
A standard residential garden in the Zona del Palmeral or the Diseminado usually takes between two to four weeks from the moment we break ground. This timeline includes site preparation, installation of irrigation systems, and final planting. Larger projects involving complex hardscaping or the construction of outdoor kitchens may take six to eight weeks, depending on weather conditions and material availability.
Do you cover all areas of San Isidro?
Absolutely. We provide full services across the entire municipality, including the Núcleo Urbano, the rural Diseminado areas, the residential clusters near the Zona de la Estación, and even commercial landscaping for businesses located in the Polígono Industrial La Granadina. No matter where your property is located within the 22-square-kilometre limits of San Isidro, our team can reach you.
What warranty do you provide on your work?
We offer a comprehensive two-year warranty on all hardscaping installations, such as paving, walling, and pergolas. For living elements, we provide a standard establishment warranty on plants and trees, provided that an automated irrigation system installed by us is in place. We stand by the quality of our craftsmanship and the durability of the materials we select for the Alicante climate.
Can you design a garden that survives the intense San Isidro heat?
Yes, this is our speciality. Because San Isidro is inland, it lacks the cooling sea breeze of the coast. We focus on "Xeriscaping," using drought-tolerant species like lavender, rosemary, and olive trees that thrive in the Vega Baja. We also integrate smart irrigation systems and strategic shading solutions that comply with UNE-EN 13561 to reduce water consumption while keeping your outdoor space lush and usable.
Is it possible to include a swimming pool in the landscaping plan?
Certainly. Many of our clients in the Diseminado areas look to add pools to combat the summer heat. We coordinate the entire process, ensuring the pool design complements the garden layout and that the "Obra Mayor" licence is correctly processed through the San Isidro municipal planning department, respecting the land-use limits set by the regional LOTUP.
