Landscaping & Garden Design in San Javier

Hello, I am Álvaro Ferrer, project coordinator at TuExterior. If you are looking to transform your outdoor space, our team specializes in professional landscaping in San Javier, catering specifically to the international community that has made this beautiful corner of the Mar Menor their home. With a local population of approximately 35,718 residents, San Javier is a diverse municipality where we frequently work in areas ranging from the historic beachfront of Santiago de la Ribera to the unique coastal strip of La Manga del Mar Menor and the golf-centric urbanisations of Roda. We understand the specific challenges of this region, particularly the high salt exposure and intense humidity characteristic of our coastal area. Whether you have a villa in El Mirador or a garden in the rural surroundings of La Grajuela, we select materials and plants that thrive in our Mediterranean climate. Regarding investment, in San Javier a landscaping typically runs 30-120 €/m² including local labour, depending on the complexity of the design and the choice of sustainable materials suited for our saline environment.

Regulations and Permits in San Javier

Navigating the legal landscape for outdoor renovations in the Region of Murcia requires local expertise. In San Javier, all external installations must comply with the UNE-EN 13561 standard, which specifically regulates the safety and performance requirements for external blinds and awnings. This ensures that any shading structures we install can withstand the wind loads typical of the Mar Menor coast.

Beyond technical standards, your project must align with the local municipal ordinances and the PGOU (Plan General de Ordenación Urbana). It is crucial to note that the San Javier municipality is currently updating its PGMO (Plan General Municipal de Ordenación) to align with the regional LOTUS (Ley de Ordenación Territorial y Urbanística de la Región de Murcia) and stricter environmental regulations aimed at protecting the Mar Menor ecosystem.

Most landscaping projects, such as tiling, planting, or installing pergolas, are classified as "Obra Menor" (minor works). This usually requires a responsible declaration (declaración responsable) or a simple permit from the Town Hall (Ayuntamiento), involving a small municipal fee. However, if your project involves structural changes, significant earthmoving, or perimeter walls, a full "Licencia de Obra" may be required, necessitating a technical project signed by an architect. At TuExterior, we guide you through this bureaucracy to ensure your project is fully compliant with the latest San Javier urban planning updates.
