Landscaping & Garden Design in Tales

Hello, I am Álvaro Ferrer, project coordinator at TuExterior. Over the years, I have seen how the unique landscape of the Sierra Espadán foothills shapes the way we approach outdoor living. If you are looking for professional landscaping in Tales, you have come to the right place. This charming village in the La Plana Baixa comarca, with its population of approximately 834 residents, offers a peaceful inland climate that is perfect for Mediterranean gardens, though it requires specific knowledge of local soil and weather patterns. Whether you own a traditional house in the historic centre or a modern villa in urbanisations like Entre-rius, Carbonària, or El Clot, our team understands the local topography. We also frequently work in areas such as Tejerías and Xautena, ensuring every project respects the natural beauty of the Castellón interior. To give you a starting point for your budget, in Tales a landscaping typically runs 30-120 €/m² including local labour. My goal is to help you create a functional, sustainable space that withstands the hot summers and crisp winters of our region.

Regulations and permits for landscaping in Tales

Navigating the legal requirements for outdoor renovations in Castellón can be complex, but it is essential for a stress-free project. In Tales, all construction and landscaping activities are governed by the LOTUP (Ley de Ordenación del Territorio, Urbanismo y Paisaje) and the municipal subsidiary norms (Normas Subsidiarias). Depending on the scale of your project, you will likely need to apply for an 'Obra Menor' (Minor Works) permit at the Ayuntamiento de Tales. This is typically required for perimeter walls, paving, or installing permanent structures like pergolas.

If your property is located within the historic core of the village, the PGOU (Plan General de Ordenación Urbana) imposes stricter aesthetic integration rules. This means materials, colours, and heights must harmonise with the traditional stone and plaster finishes of the village to preserve its cultural heritage. Furthermore, for any sun protection installations, we strictly adhere to the UNE-EN 13561 standard, which regulates the wind resistance and safety requirements for awnings and external blinds. For larger projects that involve significant earthmoving or structural changes, a full building licence (Licencia de Obra Mayor) may be required, involving a technical project signed by an architect. We handle the technical documentation needed to ensure your garden meets every local and regional regulation.
