Landscaping & Garden Design in Yecla

Hello, I am Álvaro Ferrer, project coordinator at TuExterior. If you have chosen the Altiplano region to establish your home, you already know that this corner of Murcia offers a unique, rugged beauty. However, the inland climate here is demanding, with scorching summers and surprisingly cold winters that can test any garden. My job is to ensure that your outdoor space doesn't just survive these conditions but thrives. Whether you are living in the established streets near the town centre or in one of the many quiet residential areas like Las Gamellejas, La Celadilla, or the peaceful surroundings of Raspay, our team provides expert landscaping in Yecla tailored to your specific plot.

With a local population of approximately 35,521 people, Yecla maintains a hardworking, traditional character where quality craftsmanship is highly valued. We work across the municipality, from Los Hitos to the elevated views of El Serratejo, creating gardens that respect the local environment while offering modern comfort. Regarding investment, in Yecla a landscaping typically runs 30-120 €/m² including local labour, depending on whether you opt for hardscaping, irrigation systems, or Mediterranean planting schemes. My goal is to transform your terrace or plot into a functional sanctuary that adds genuine value to your property.

Regulations and Permits for Landscaping in Yecla

Navigating the legal requirements for outdoor renovations in the Altiplano can be complex, but it is essential for the long-term security of your investment. In Yecla, all exterior works must comply with the municipal urban planning regulations. Currently, the town is governed by the PGMO (Plan General Municipal de Ordenación) of 1984, which has been undergoing a significant revision process (Aprobación Inicial 2017). Furthermore, all projects must align with the LOTUS (Ley de Ordenación Territorial y Urbanística de la Región de Murcia), which dictates how land can be used and developed across the province.

For most landscaping projects, the type of permit required depends on the scale of the intervention. Small-scale updates, such as planting, installing removable irrigation, or basic tiling, usually fall under a "Declaración Responsable" (Responsible Declaration). This is a faster process where you inform the Ayuntamiento of your intent to work. However, if your project involves structural changes, such as building high perimeter walls, large swimming pools, or permanent porches, you will likely need a "Licencia de Obra Menor" or even a "Mayor" depending on the complexity.

Additionally, for any sun protection systems or awnings we install, we strictly adhere to the UNE-EN 13561 standard. This European regulation specifies the performance requirements, including wind resistance and safety, for external blinds and awnings. By following both the local Yecla ordinances and these international safety standards, we ensure that your garden is not only beautiful but also fully compliant with Spanish law, preventing potential fines or issues when you eventually decide to sell your property.
