Landscaping & Garden Design in Torrevieja

Hello, I am Álvaro Ferrer, project coordinator at TuExterior. With over a decade of experience transforming outdoor spaces across the Vega Baja del Segura, I have seen firsthand how the right garden design can turn a house into a sanctuary. When it comes to landscaping in Torrevieja, we aren't just dealing with aesthetics; we are managing a unique microclimate shaped by our famous salt lagoons and Mediterranean coastline. Whether you are living in the quiet streets of Torreta Florida, the elevated plots of Los Balcones, or the modern developments of Aguas Nuevas, your garden faces specific challenges like high salinity and intense sun exposure. Serving a diverse population of approximately 94,803 residents, we specialise in creating resilient, beautiful spaces that thrive in areas like La Mata or La Veleta. Understanding the local market is key for your investment; in Torrevieja a landscaping typically runs 30-120 €/m² including local labour. My goal is to ensure your outdoor area reflects the vibrant spirit of Alicante while remaining practical and sustainable for years to come.

Local Regulations and Technical Standards in Torrevieja

Navigating the legal landscape of home improvements in the Vega Baja requires local expertise. In Torrevieja, all outdoor installations must comply with specific technical and municipal codes to ensure safety and urban harmony. For instance, any sun protection systems or awnings we install must adhere to the UNE-EN 13561 standard, which dictates wind resistance and safety requirements for external blinds and shutters. This ensures that your installation can withstand the coastal gusts common in areas like La Veleta.

From a planning perspective, the city is governed by the 1986 Plan General de Ordenación Urbana (PGOU) and the regional LOTUP (Ley de Ordenación del Territorio, Urbanismo y Paisaje). Most landscaping projects, such as installing new paving, small pergolas, or garden walls, fall under the category of 'obra menor' (minor works). The good news for residents is that Torrevieja City Council has streamlined many of these processes. Instead of waiting months for a traditional licence, most minor interventions and changes to occupancy permits now use the 'declaración responsable' (responsible declaration) procedure. This allows work to commence much faster, provided all technical documentation is correctly submitted. We handle the technical side of these filings to ensure your project remains fully compliant with municipal ordinances.
