Landscaping & Garden Design in Jalón

Hello, I am Álvaro Ferrer, project coordinator at TuExterior. If you are looking to transform your garden or terrace, our team specializes in professional landscaping in Jalón, helping English-speaking residents make the most of their outdoor living spaces in this beautiful corner of the Marina Alta. With a population of approximately 3,122 people, Jalón offers a unique inland climate that is perfect for Mediterranean flora but requires expert knowledge to manage the summer heat and occasional heavy rains. Whether you are located in the heart of the village or in one of the surrounding urbanisations like Valle de Paraíso, La Solana, or Bellavista, we understand the specific soil conditions and wind patterns of the Jalon Valley. From xeriscaping to full garden renovations, our goal is to create sustainable, low-maintenance retreats. Regarding budgeting, in Jalón a landscaping typically runs 30-120 €/m² including local labour, depending on the complexity of the design and the materials selected for your specific plot.

The landscape of Jalón is defined by its vineyards and almond trees, and we strive to integrate your private garden into this stunning natural backdrop. Many of our clients in areas like La Almazara or Bon Sol are looking for a balance between modern aesthetics and traditional Mediterranean charm. I personally oversee every project to ensure that the transition from your interior living space to your exterior haven is seamless. We focus on high-quality materials that withstand the intense Spanish sun, ensuring your investment adds lasting value to your property. By choosing a local specialist, you benefit from our established network of nurseries and stone masons within the Marina Alta, ensuring that every plant and paving stone is perfectly suited to our local environment.

Regulations and Permits for Landscaping in Jalón

Navigating the legal requirements for outdoor renovations in the Valencian Community requires a clear understanding of both regional and local frameworks. In Jalón, all urban and rural development is governed by the LOTUP (Ley de Ordenación del Territorio, Urbanismo y Paisaje), which aims to protect the landscape of the Marina Alta. Furthermore, specific guidelines are set out in the Jalón PGOU (Plan General de Ordenación Urbana), which dictates what can be built and where, particularly regarding the minimization of environmental impact on rural land.

For most landscaping projects, the type of permit required depends on the scale of the work. Small-scale interventions such as planting, installing irrigation systems, or minor decorative changes usually fall under a "Comunicación Previa" or "Obra Menor" (minor works license). This is a simplified process handled at the Jalón Ayuntamiento (Town Hall). However, if your project involves structural elements like retaining walls over a certain height, large swimming pools, or significant excavations, a "Licencia de Obra Mayor" (major works license) will be necessary, requiring a project signed by a qualified architect or technician.

Additionally, for any installations involving sun protection, we strictly adhere to the UNE-EN 13561 standard, which regulates the performance and safety requirements for external blinds and awnings. This ensures that any pergolas or toldos we install are wind-resistant and safe for the local climate. When working in protected areas or near the riverbed, additional permissions from the Confederación Hidrográfica del Júcar may be required. At TuExterior, we assist our clients in identifying which permits are needed and can help manage the technical documentation required by the municipal authorities to ensure your project is fully compliant with local law.
