RIMOLO & GROSSO Architects Covering the Entire Costa Blanca 962 962 324 / 606 616 084 javierleonardorimolo@gmail.com

www.arquitectosperitostasadores.com

From a licence for a garden wall to complete architectural support for building a new home; property legislations, valuations, surveys and energy certification.

Rimolo & Grosso can help give you peace of mind.

FAILURE TO OBTAIN THE CORRECT LICENCES CAN RESULT IN A LARGE FINE Spanish building regulations can be a minefield. Permissions for this, licences for that, it seems you can’t do anything without asking. And in many ways, it’s true.

Furthermore, the consequences of ignoring these requirements can range from large fines, to having to put any building changes right back to where you started. By retaining an architect, you can avoid these risks and develop your property, confident that everything complies with the various rules and regulations.

Rimolo & Grosso are experienced architects with international experience, practicing in the entire Valencian Community. Their many British clients can attest to how easy they are to deal with, and how they have significantly reduced stress in a multitude of building projects. If you are considering any building work, you need to consider whether you need architectural input. Just call Rimolo & Grosso for a no-obligation chat, in English, and proceed with confidence.

If you’re selling or renting, you must obtain an EPC certificate

NOGROW GRASS Artificial Grass & Landscaping

Artificial Grass

Covering the Costa Blanca 696 854 802 nogrowgrass@gmail.com

www.nogrowgrass.com In climates that see drought and heat for much of the year, like we have here in Southern Spain it may prove very difficult to maintain a natural lawn, as the grass will require too much water or relief from the heat. All of our garden range grass are made with soft and durable materials that are made to look and feel just like the real thing. Artificial grass can withstand what natural lawns cannot, while still retaining all of the aesthetic appeal that a natural lawn has to offer.

If you have a roof terrace, or wish to transform your swimming pool area, we have artificial grass to suit every need and purpose. Choose from our range for the best grass to perfectly suit your requirements.

Mini Golf installations Within the last 3 to 4 years the demand for mini golf and private garden putting areas has increased. This is due partly to the price decrease that we are able to provide, but mainly people can see the quality and imagination that we put into all of our installs. All the materials that we use are top quality. Our flags are a strong nylon, flag poles and holes are polyurethane, and flag bases are aluminium.

All the grass we use is provided by Tiger Turf, who are world leaders in the improvement and manufacturing of synthetic grass.

What’s even better is all of our products are covered by an 8 year TIGER TURF manufacturer’s warranty, and we provide a separate 2 year installation warranty. So you can be even more confident that your new artificial lawn will last as long as any real grass surface, with a fraction of the maintenance.
