Landscaping & Garden Design in Torre-Pacheco

Hola, I am Álvaro Ferrer, project coordinator at TuExterior. If you are looking to transform your garden or terrace into a Mediterranean sanctuary, you have come to the right place. Specialising in landscaping in Torre-Pacheco, my team and I understand the unique challenges and opportunities presented by the Campo de Cartagena region. With a growing population of approximately 40,074 residents, this area is a vibrant hub for international homeowners, particularly within prestigious urbanisations like Mar Menor Golf Resort, Saurines de la Torre, and La Torre Golf. Whether you live in the heart of the town or in charming districts like Roldán or Balsicas, we adapt our designs to the specific inland climate of the area, which sees intense summer heat and scarce rainfall. We focus on xeriscaping and sustainable solutions that thrive in these conditions. To give you an idea of investment, in Torre-Pacheco a landscaping typically runs 30-120 €/m² including local labour, depending on the complexity of the materials and the structural elements involved. My goal is to ensure your outdoor space becomes a functional extension of your home.

Regulations and Permits in Torre-Pacheco

Navigating the legal requirements for outdoor renovations in the Region of Murcia is essential to avoid fines and ensure the longevity of your investment. In Torre-Pacheco, all landscaping and exterior structural work is governed by the Plan General Municipal de Ordenación (PGMO) dating back to 1988, along with the regional LOTUS (Ley de Ordenación Territorial y Urbanística de la Región de Murcia). For installations such as pergolas or retractable solar protection, we strictly adhere to the UNE-EN 13561 standard, which regulates the safety and performance requirements for external blinds and awnings.

When it comes to permits, the process depends on the scale of the project. For most "Obra Menor" (minor works) such as paving, installing artificial grass, or minor decorative walls, the municipality allows for a "Declaración Responsable" (Responsible Declaration). This system, reinforced by the Ley 13/2015, simplifies the process, allowing work to commence once the documentation is filed and the relevant taxes are paid. However, if your project involves significant structural changes, large swimming pools, or affects the building's footprint, a full "Licencia de Obra" (Building Licence) is required. At TuExterior, we guide you through this bureaucracy to ensure your project complies with the local PGMO and regional urban laws.
