Landscaping & Garden Design in Tous

Hello, I am Álvaro Ferrer, project coordinator at TuExterior. If you are looking to transform your garden or terrace into a Mediterranean sanctuary, our team provides specialized landscaping in Tous tailored to the unique landscape of the Ribera Alta comarca. With a population of approximately 1,357 residents, Tous offers a tranquil lifestyle, but its inland climate—characterized by hot, dry summers and occasional torrential rains—requires a specific approach to plant selection and irrigation. Whether you own a villa in the established La Parra urbanization, a plot in El Campillo, or a property near the scenic La Garrofera and El Pantano (the reservoir) area, we understand the local soil conditions and microclimates. Our goal is to create sustainable, low-maintenance outdoor spaces that respect the natural beauty of our surroundings. Regarding investment, in Tous a landscaping typically runs 30-120 €/m² including local labour, depending on the complexity of the hardscaping and the maturity of the vegetation selected. We take pride in helping our English-speaking neighbors navigate the technical and aesthetic challenges of gardening in this beautiful part of Valencia.

Regulations and Permits for Landscaping in Tous

Navigating the legal framework for outdoor renovations in Valencia is essential to avoid fines and ensure the longevity of your project. In Tous, all exterior installations must comply with the Spanish national standard UNE-EN 13561, which specifically regulates the safety and performance requirements for external blinds and awnings. Beyond national standards, every project is subject to the local Municipal Ordinance and the Plan General de Ordenación Urbana (PGOU).

For most landscaping tasks, such as planting, installing irrigation, or minor decorative changes, a "Comunicación Previa" or "Obra Menor" permit is usually sufficient. However, if your project involves structural changes, large retaining walls, or significant excavations, a more formal building license is required. It is crucial to note that building permits in Tous are strictly governed by the PGOU and the LOTUP (Ley de Ordenación del Territorio, Urbanismo y Paisaje). Because of our proximity to the reservoir, there are specific protections for the reservoir's hydrological basin and surrounding forest land. Any project near protected rustic land or the water's edge must respect environmental setbacks and drainage regulations to prevent erosion and protect the local ecosystem. At TuExterior, we handle the technical documentation to ensure your dream garden complies with every local environmental and urban regulation.
