Escollera walls in Mijas: natural rock retaining walls for hillside villas and plots, from Mijas Pueblo down to La Cala and Calahonda.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
Mijas stretches from the coast up to the Sierra de Mijas, at over 1,100 m, and many of its villas and urbanisations are built on hillsides. Levelling a plot, creating a pool terrace or holding back a bank above the road are everyday jobs here. We build escollera walls in Mijas<\/strong> from blocks of natural stone, with proper foundations and drainage, and a finish that suits the Mediterranean architecture of the area.<\/p>\n We work in the area with a trusted local team and run every project from MURES, with a fixed written quote. To see how the system works, take a look at our escollera rock retaining walls<\/a> page.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t We work in all three parts of Mijas and in the urbanisations along the coast and up in the hills:<\/p>\n In Mijas it is very common for a plot to drop several metres between the road and the house, or between the house and the garden. To make the most of the land you need terraces, and escollera is the most natural way to build them: exposed stone, no visible concrete and built-in drainage.<\/p>\n The town hall uses the same solution: in 2021 it built a rock wall of around 100 m along the La Lucera stream in La Cala to hold back the soil and let the water run freely. On private plots, a well-designed escollera wall copes with the pressure of the ground and the heavy rain we get on the coast.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t An illustrative example of a typical job in the area (not a specific real case).<\/em><\/p>\n As a guide, escollera walls in Mijas cost between \u20ac70 and \u20ac120 per m\u00b2<\/strong> of visible wall face, including stone, machinery, placement and drainage backfill. Many urbanisations in Mijas have narrow streets and little room to store stone, so we sometimes use compact machinery and make more lorry trips.<\/p>\n What affects the price most:<\/p>\n Guide price only. We give you an exact quote after visiting the plot, with no obligation.<\/em><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t An escollera wall in Mijas usually needs a building licence (licencia de obra) or a declaraci\u00f3n responsable<\/strong> from the town hall, depending on the size of the wall and how the land is classified. In urbanisations, also check the community rules (estatutos)<\/strong>, especially if the wall affects shared areas or boundaries. If the plot is less than 100 m from a stream<\/strong> (the “zona de polic\u00eda”), you also need authorisation from the Junta de Andaluc\u00eda’s water authority.<\/p>\n Official information on the procedure (in Spanish): authorisation for works in the zona de polic\u00eda (Junta de Andaluc\u00eda)<\/a>.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\tEscollera walls in Mijas: where we work<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
