Artificial Grass & Landscaping in Planes

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.
