Landscaping & Garden Design in Santa Clara Golf

Hello, I am Álvaro Ferrer, project coordinator at TuExterior. Over the years, I have seen how the unique microclimate of the Costa del Sol Occidental shapes the way we enjoy our homes. If you are looking for professional landscaping in Santa Clara Golf, you understand that this exclusive enclave requires a specific touch. Nestled between the prestigious Los Monteros and the hills of Altos de los Monteros, Santa Clara Golf is home to a community of approximately 1,200 residents who value privacy and Mediterranean elegance. Whether your property is in the heart of the golf course or closer to the coastal breeze of Alicate Playa and Bahía de Marbella, we specialise in creating outdoor spaces that withstand the local elements.

The proximity to the Mediterranean means we must account for high salt exposure and intense UV radiation, which can be unforgiving on inferior materials. My role is to ensure your garden or terrace remains a sanctuary, blending native flora with high-quality structural elements. Regarding investment, in Santa Clara Golf a landscaping typically runs 30-120 €/m² including local labour, depending on the complexity of the irrigation, hardscaping, and plant selection. We pride ourselves on delivering results that respect the sophisticated aesthetic of this Marbella district while ensuring long-term durability.

Regulations and Permits in Santa Clara Golf

Navigating the legal landscape for landscaping and outdoor structures in Marbella requires local expertise. All projects in Santa Clara Golf must adhere to the Marbella PGOU (Plan General de Ordenación Urbana). Currently, due to the complex legal history of the municipality, developments must comply with the PGOU 1986 standards under the broader framework of the Andalusian LISTA (Ley de Impulso para la Sostenibilidad del Territorio de Andalucía). This ensures that any modification to your plot respects the buildable limits and aesthetic harmony of the urbanization.

For structural additions like pergolas or permanent awnings, we strictly follow the UNE-EN 13561 standard, which governs the safety and performance requirements for external blinds and awnings. Regarding permits, most landscaping work—such as planting, irrigation, or minor decorative walls—is classified as an "Obra Menor" (minor work). This requires a simplified notification to the Marbella Town Hall (Ayuntamiento) and the payment of a small municipal tax. However, if your project involves significant structural changes, large swimming pools, or affects the perimeter of the plot, a full "Licencia de Obra" may be necessary. At TuExterior, we handle the technical documentation required to ensure your project is fully compliant with both the municipal ordinances and the specific internal rules of the Santa Clara Golf community of owners.
