Hello, I am Álvaro Ferrer, project coordinator at TuExterior. If you have chosen to live in the beautiful town of Planes, nestled in the heart of the El Comtat comarca, you already know that this area offers some of the most stunning inland scenery in the Alicante province. However, maintaining a lush, green lawn in our specific inland climate can be a constant battle against the heat and water restrictions. Many of our clients in urbanisations like Benialfaquí, Catamarruch, and the surrounding hamlets of Margarida or La Baronia are turning to artificial grass in Planes as a sustainable and aesthetic solution. With a population of approximately 695 residents, Planes maintains a tranquil, traditional atmosphere where outdoor living is essential. Whether you have a terrace overlooking the Canyeret or a garden near the Barranc de l'Encantada, we provide high-quality synthetic turf that withstands the local temperature fluctuations. In Planes a artificial grass typically runs 12-35 €/m² including local labour, offering a long-term investment that saves you countless hours of weeding and watering while keeping your property looking pristine year-round.

Regulations and Local Permits for Outdoor Improvements

When planning an outdoor renovation in Planes, it is vital to adhere to both national standards and local municipal ordinances. At TuExterior, we ensure that all our installations meet the safety and quality requirements expected in the Spanish market. For instance, while we focus on turf, many of our clients also request shading solutions; in these cases, we strictly follow the UNE-EN 13561 standard for external blinds and awnings to ensure wind resistance and safety.

Regarding the legalities of installing artificial grass, the Planes Town Council (Ayuntamiento) generally classifies this type of garden improvement as an "Obra Menor" (minor work). Because you are not altering the structural integrity of the building or significantly changing the footprint of the property, the process is usually straightforward. However, the local PGOU (Plan General de Ordenación Urbana) may have specific stipulations regarding drainage and the percentage of permeable surface area required on your plot, especially in protected rural zones near the Almudaina mountains. We typically recommend filing a "Comunicación Previa" or a "Declaración Responsable" at the town hall to ensure everything is documented. This small administrative step prevents any future issues with municipal inspectors and ensures your home remains fully compliant with local El Comtat regulations.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does artificial grass cost in Planes?
The price for a professional installation in the Planes area generally ranges between 12 €/m² and 35 €/m². This variation depends largely on the height and density of the grass blades you choose, as well as the amount of ground preparation required. If we are installing over an existing concrete terrace in Catamarruch, the cost is lower than a full garden excavation in a rural plot where we must remove weeds, add a crushed stone base, and install a weed membrane.
Do I need a licence?
For most residential artificial grass projects in Planes, you do not need a major building permit. However, you should file a "Comunicación Previa" for minor works (obra menor) at the local Ayuntamiento. This is a simple notification process that ensures your renovation is on record. If your property is located within a protected historical area or a specific rural zone, we can help you verify if any additional environmental constraints apply.
How long does it take?
Most residential installations in the El Comtat region are completed within 2 to 4 days. A standard garden of about 50-80 square meters usually takes two days: one day for ground preparation and base levelling, and a second day for laying the turf, joining the seams, and adding the silica sand infill. Larger projects in areas like Margarida or La Baronia might take slightly longer depending on the complexity of the terrain.
Do you cover Planes?
Yes, we fully cover Planes and all its surrounding districts and urbanisations, including Benialfaquí, Catamarruch, and the outskirts near the reservoir. Being based in the province, we are very familiar with the geography of El Comtat and frequently travel to inland towns to provide on-site consultations and installations. We bring all the necessary machinery and materials directly to your doorstep.
What warranty do you provide?
We provide a dual warranty for our clients in Planes. The artificial grass product itself typically carries a manufacturer’s warranty ranging from 8 to 15 years against UV discolouration and fibre loss. Additionally, TuExterior provides a 2-year installation warranty that covers the stability of the ground base and the integrity of the seams, giving you total peace of mind that your garden will remain level and beautiful.
Is artificial grass suitable for the inland climate of Planes?
Absolutely. In fact, it is often more practical than natural grass in the El Comtat climate. Planes experiences hot summers and cold winters; our high-quality turf is designed to withstand frost without becoming brittle and features UV stabilisers to prevent the vibrant green colour from fading under the intense Mediterranean sun. It also offers excellent drainage for the heavy "Gota Fría" rains that occasionally hit the Alicante mountains.
How do I maintain artificial grass in this area?
Maintenance is minimal compared to natural lawns. Because Planes can be dusty due to the surrounding agricultural land and olive groves, we recommend a quick hose-down once every few weeks to remove dust. Brushing the fibres occasionally with a stiff power brush or a manual broom will keep the blades standing upright. You won't need to worry about mowing, fertilizing, or the high water bills associated with keeping a lawn green in inland Alicante.
