Landscaping & Garden Design in Tormos

Hola, I am Álvaro Ferrer, project coordinator at TuExterior. If you are looking for professional landscaping in Tormos, you have come to the right place. Living here in the heart of the Marina Alta comarca offers a unique lifestyle, but the inland climate—with its intense summer heat and the occasional 'Gota Fría'—demands a specific approach to garden design. Tormos is a charming, tranquil village with a population of approximately 339 residents, many of whom live in the traditional Casco Urbano or the scenic surrounding urbanisations like El Recingle and La Solana. Whether you own a villa overlooking the orange groves in Les Foies or a townhouse in the village center, we understand how to balance aesthetics with the rugged Mediterranean terrain. We specialise in creating low-maintenance outdoor spaces that thrive in our local soil conditions. To give you a baseline for your project, in Tormos a landscaping typically runs 30-120 €/m² including local labour, depending on whether you choose high-end hardscaping or a more botanical-focused renovation. My goal is to ensure your terrace or garden becomes a functional extension of your home.

Regulations and Permits in Tormos

Navigating the legalities of home improvement in the Marina Alta is crucial to avoid fines and ensure the longevity of your investment. In Tormos, all exterior works are governed by the LOTUP (Ley de Ordenación del Territorio, Urbanismo y Paisaje) and the local PGOU (Plan General de Ordenación Urbana), which dates back to the 1999/2004 period. This document dictates what can be built and where, particularly regarding setbacks from neighbors and the height of perimeter walls.

For most landscaping projects, such as installing new paving, irrigation systems, or planting, you will typically only need to file a 'Declaración Responsable' (Responsible Declaration) for 'obra menor' (minor works) at the Tormos Town Hall (Ayuntamiento). This is a simplified process that allows work to begin once the fee is paid and the documents are submitted. However, if your project involves structural changes, large retaining walls, or a swimming pool, a full 'Licencia de Obra' (Building License) is required, which involves a technical project signed by an architect.

Furthermore, if your project includes the installation of pergolas or awnings, we strictly adhere to the UNE-EN 13561 standard, which regulates the wind resistance and safety requirements for solar protection systems. We handle the technical documentation required by the local ordinance to ensure your exterior space is 100% compliant with municipal regulations.
