Hello, I am Álvaro Ferrer, project coordinator at TuExterior. Over the years, I have seen how the unique microclimate of the Marina Alta transforms our gardens, and I am proud to lead our dedicated team providing professional landscaping in Jávea. Whether you live in the historic charm of El Tosalet, the cliffside heights of Balcón al Mar, or the exclusive enclaves of La Corona and La Lluca, your outdoor space deserves a design that respects the Mediterranean soul. With a local population of approximately 30,131 residents, Jávea is a vibrant community where the garden is often the heart of the home. However, our beautiful coastal area comes with specific challenges, particularly the high salt exposure and humidity that can weather materials quickly. We specialise in selecting salt-tolerant species and durable structures that thrive in Adsubia or the Port area. Understanding the investment is key; in Jávea a landscaping typically runs 30-120 €/m² including local labour. My goal is to ensure your garden remains a sanctuary that stands up to the Spanish sun.

How we work

  1. Initial Contact: You reach out to us via phone or web form to discuss your vision, style preferences, and the specific needs of your Jávea property.
  2. Site Visit & Measuring: I or one of my senior technicians will visit your home to take precise measurements and assess the soil, sun orientation, and coastal exposure.
  3. Free Quote: We provide a detailed, transparent breakdown of costs and materials tailored to your budget, ensuring no hidden surprises before we begin.
  4. Professional Installation: Our skilled local crew executes the project with precision, from hardscaping to planting, ensuring everything is left clean and ready for you to enjoy.

Regulations and Permits for your Project

Navigating the legal landscape in Jávea is essential for a stress-free renovation. Currently, the urban planning framework in our town is governed by the Normas Urbanísticas Transitorias (NUT), which were implemented following the partial suspension of the old 1990 PGOU while the new Plan General Estructural (PGE) is being finalised by the Ayuntamiento. This means that certain setbacks and building volumes are strictly monitored. For most landscaping projects, such as installing pergolas or new paving, you will typically need to apply for an 'Obra Menor' (Minor Works) permit. If your project involves structural changes or significant excavation, a more complex 'Licencia de Obra' may be required. Furthermore, any external installations like awnings or motorized shades must comply with the UNE-EN 13561 standard, ensuring safety against wind loads. We handle the technical documentation required by the municipal ordinance to ensure your garden is fully compliant with local law.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does landscaping cost in Jávea?
The cost of landscaping in Jávea generally ranges between 30 €/m² and 120 €/m². This variation depends heavily on whether you are looking for a simple softscaping refresh with Mediterranean plants or a full overhaul including high-end hardscaping, irrigation systems, and outdoor lighting. Factors such as the slope of your plot in areas like La Corona or the ease of access for machinery also influence the final quote.
Do I need a licence for my garden project?
Yes, most outdoor improvements in Jávea require at least a communication of works or a 'Declaración Responsable' to the Town Hall. For simple gardening and planting, you usually don't need a permit, but for walls, terraces, pergolas, or swimming pool renovations, an 'Obra Menor' permit is mandatory. We can guide you through the NUT regulations to ensure your project meets all municipal requirements.
How long does a typical landscaping project take?
A standard residential garden project in Jávea usually takes between 2 to 6 weeks. Smaller interventions, like installing an artificial lawn or a new irrigation system, can be finished in a few days. Larger projects involving stone masonry, excavation, or complex lighting in urbanisations like El Tosalet take longer due to the craftsmanship required and the drying times for construction materials.
Do you cover all areas of Jávea?
Absolutely. We provide our services across the entire municipality of Jávea and the wider Marina Alta region. This includes the busy Arenal beachfront, the quiet valleys of La Lluca, the steep hillsides of Adsubia and Balcón al Mar, and the historic centre. Our team is mobile and fully equipped to reach any property within the local coastal and inland zones.
What warranty do you provide on your work?
We offer a comprehensive warranty on all our installations. For structural work and hardscaping, we provide a standard multi-year guarantee against defects. For living elements like plants and trees, we offer a survival guarantee provided that an automated irrigation system is installed and maintained. All our mechanical installations, such as sunshades or pumps, are covered by the manufacturer's warranty plus our own installation guarantee.
Can you design a garden that survives the salt air?
Yes, this is one of our specialties. Living near the Jávea coast means plants must be resistant to salt spray and high winds. We select 'halophytic' or salt-tolerant species such as Nerium oleander, Westringia, and specific palm varieties that thrive in our local environment. We also use marine-grade stainless steel and treated timbers to prevent corrosion from the sea air.
Is it possible to have a low-maintenance garden in this climate?
Certainly. Many of our clients in Jávea are looking for 'Xeriscaping'—a style of landscaping that reduces or eliminates the need for supplemental water. By using native Mediterranean plants, gravel mulches, and efficient drip irrigation, we can create a stunning outdoor space that requires very little upkeep and remains green even during the hot Marina Alta summers.
