Hello, 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. Providing professional landscaping in Totana is a unique challenge that I personally oversee, ensuring that every project respects the local environment of the Bajo Guadalentín comarca. With a population of approximately 34,372 residents, Totana is a vibrant town where the inland climate—characterised by scorching summers and surprisingly crisp winters—demands a specific approach to outdoor design. Whether you reside in the prestigious La Charca urbanisation, the quiet streets of Residencial Espuña, or the sprawling plots of La Paloma and Eurosur Villas, I understand the local soil and sun exposure. My goal is to create spaces that are not only beautiful but sustainable. Regarding investment, in Totana a landscaping typically runs 30-120 €/m² including local labour, depending on the complexity of the hardscaping and the botanical choices. From the foothills of the Sierra Espuña to the historic centre near Tirol-Camilleri, I am here to help you enjoy the Murcia sun in comfort.

How we work

Initial Contact and Consultation

The journey begins when you reach out to us; I will personally discuss your vision, lifestyle needs, and the specific challenges of your Totana property to establish a clear project brief.

Site Visit and Measuring

I will visit your home in areas like La Charca or the town centre to take precise measurements, analyse soil quality, and evaluate sun patterns to ensure our design is technically sound.

Free Detailed Quote

You will receive a transparent, no-obligation quotation that breaks down costs for materials, plants, and labour, ensuring there are no hidden surprises before we commence.

Professional Installation

Our expert team carries out the work with minimal disruption, managing everything from irrigation and lighting to the final planting, all under my direct supervision for quality assurance.

Regulations and Permits in Totana

Navigating the legal landscape is a crucial part of any landscaping project in the Region of Murcia. In Totana, all outdoor structures and renovations must comply with the municipal Plan General de Ordenación Urbana (PGOU). It is important to note that the PGMO (Plan General Municipal de Ordenación) was partially approved in 2011, which created a complex regulatory framework. Many areas, particularly those in the valley or near the Rambla de la Santa, are subject to strict flood-risk constraints and sectorization agreements. Before we break ground, we must determine if your project requires a 'Comunicación Previa' for minor works (obra menor), such as simple tiling or planting, or a full 'Licencia de Obra' for structural changes like large retaining walls or permanent pergolas.

Furthermore, any solar protection systems we install, such as awnings or bioclimatic structures, strictly adhere to the UNE-EN 13561 standard, ensuring wind resistance and safety. If your property is located within a community of owners (Comunidad de Propietarios) in urbanisations like Residencial Espuña, we also ensure the design respects the internal aesthetic bylaws. My team handles the technical documentation required by the Totana Town Hall (Ayuntamiento) to ensure your renovation is 100% legal and adds long-term value to your home.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does landscaping cost in Totana?
The cost of landscaping in Totana generally ranges between 30 € and 120 € per square metre. This variation depends heavily on your choice of materials—such as natural stone versus gravel—and the complexity of the installation. For example, a low-maintenance xeriscape garden in La Charca will have a different price point than a lush Mediterranean garden with a full irrigation system and outdoor lighting. We provide a detailed breakdown so you know exactly where your investment is going.
Do I need a licence for my garden project?
Yes, most landscaping work in Totana requires at least a 'Comunicación Previa' for an 'Obra Menor' from the local Ayuntamiento. If you are planning significant structural changes, such as building a swimming pool, a large porch, or moving significant amounts of earth, a more formal building licence is required. Because Totana has specific zones with flood risks or protected rural status, I personally check the PGOU maps to ensure your project complies with all local urban planning laws.
How long does a typical landscaping project take?
A standard residential project in areas like Eurosur Villas or Tirol-Camilleri usually takes between two to four weeks from the start of the physical work. However, the design and permitting phase can add another few weeks depending on the complexity and the responsiveness of the municipal technical office. We provide a clear timeline before we start and stick to it, weather permitting.
Do you cover all areas of Totana?
Absolutely. We provide our services throughout the entire municipality of Totana. This includes the town centre, the various 'pedanías' like Paretón-Cantareros, and all the major urbanisations such as La Charca, Residencial Espuña, and La Paloma. We are also well-equipped to handle projects in the more rural areas bordering the Sierra Espuña regional park.
What warranty do you provide on your work?
We stand behind the quality of our craftsmanship. We offer a standard two-year warranty on all construction elements and hardscaping. For plants and trees, we provide a replacement guarantee during the first growing season, provided an automated irrigation system is installed and maintained. All our mechanical installations, like awnings or motorised pergolas, carry the manufacturer’s warranty in accordance with Spanish law.
Can you design a garden that survives the Totana heat?
Yes, this is our speciality. The inland climate of the Bajo Guadalentín requires "Xeriscaping" techniques. We focus on drought-tolerant Mediterranean species like lavender, rosemary, and olive trees, combined with efficient drip irrigation and smart mulching. This ensures your garden stays green and beautiful during the 40°C summer peaks without sending your water bills skyrocketing.
Do you handle the removal of old garden waste?
We certainly do. Our service is "turnkey," meaning we take care of everything from the initial clearing of the site to the final cleaning. We manage the disposal of all green waste and construction debris through authorised local waste management centres in the Murcia region, ensuring that your property is left spotless and ready for you to enjoy.
