Custom Garden Design

A complete plan for your outdoor space — how you'll use it, the planting, the paving, the lighting and the long-term care. Brought together as one master plan, with 3D visualisation so you can see the garden before we begin.

Garden in 3D, Before We Build

Walk through your garden as a 3D visualisation, with mood boards showing colour, texture and seasonal feel. So you decide with your eyes, not your imagination.

Site Visit & Garden Assessment

A careful look at your space before any design begins — boundaries, light, soil and any quirks of the site. The quiet groundwork that helps the garden last.

Plants Chosen to Thrive Here

Native and adapted species selected for the local climate — Ghaf, Sidr, Acacia, summer-flowering shrubs and grasses that look beautiful and last for years. No tempting imports that won't see out a hot summer.

Low-Water Garden Design

Beautiful, varied gardens designed for the local climate — looking after themselves with less water, less effort and lower bills. Calm, green, and easy to live with.

Outdoor Living + Planting Together

The balance between built spaces (paving, walls, pergolas) and planting (trees, beds, lawn) is where a garden either works or doesn't. We plan them together — not as separate trades — so the result feels whole.

Evening Garden, Designed In

Soft, layered lighting that turns your garden into your favourite room after sunset. Planned at the design stage so the wiring goes in cleanly during the build.

Refreshing an Existing Garden

Already-there gardens that aren't quite working — assessed and reimagined with as much of the existing planting and structure preserved as possible. We don't insist on starting over when a thoughtful refresh will do.

The Design Process

How a Garden Design Comes Together

1
Week 1
Brief & Site Survey

In-home consultation to understand how you want to use the garden, who uses it, and what's needed. Site survey of boundaries, levels, soil, sun, and existing planting. Brief documented and confirmed.

2
Week 2–3
Conceptual Design

First-cut design exploring 1–2 directions for the garden. Hardscape layout, planting zones, key features identified. Discussed and refined together.

3
Week 3–4
Detailed Design

Selected concept developed into a full master plan with planting plan, hardscape detail, irrigation layout, and lighting concept. Material and plant selections proposed.

4
Week 4–5
3D Visualisation

3D renders from key viewpoints showing the garden as it will look. Material and plant mood boards. Final design adjustments based on visual review.

5
Build start
Build Coordination

Master plan handed to the build team. Designer remains involved through the build to ensure the result matches the vision.

Design fees apply to standalone consultancy. When the design moves to build with us, the design fee is fully credited against the build cost.

Built for the UAE
Designed for the UAE. Designed to Last.

Gardens that work here are gardens designed for here — for the light, the heat, the wind and the soil. We design with the climate, not against it, using planting and strategies that hold up year after year.

Plants Chosen to Thrive Here
Native and adapted species — Ghaf, Sidr, Acacia, summer-flowering shrubs and grasses that suit the local climate. No tempting imports that won't last the summer.
Beautiful, Less Thirsty
Designs that look after themselves with less water — typically saving 40–60% versus conventional planting, with healthier results.
Approved for Your Community
Emirates Hills, Arabian Ranches, Springs, Mudon and Dubai Municipality rules built into the design from day one — not corrected later at the build.

Plants we've watched thrive

We design from a palette we've watched flourish through five summers. Beautiful planting, suited to the place.

See your garden before we begin

3D visualisation as standard. Decide with your eyes, not your imagination.

Designed within community and municipal rules from the start, not corrected later at the build.

Design fee credited against build

When you commission us to build the design, the design fee is fully credited. The design pays for itself.

Your designer stays through the build

The person who designed the garden remains involved through the build, so the result matches the vision.

Reviews

From Our Garden Design Clients

★★★★★

"We commissioned a full design for our Palm villa garden — site survey, master plan, 3D renders, planting plan. The 3D visuals were what made it possible to commit confidently. Built to the design over 8 weeks. Two summers in, the garden is exactly as designed and entirely thriving."

Sarah Chen · Palm Jumeirah Villa
★★★★★

"Our previous garden was a constant battle — irrigation always failing, plants dying every August. They redesigned with native and adapted species, reduced our irrigation by 60%, and the garden looks better than it ever has. Wish we'd done this years earlier."

Khalid Al Rashidi · Mirdif Villa
★★★★★

"We have a large terrace in our Marina apartment that we never used. They designed it as an outdoor living space — planters, pergola, lighting, irrigation. Spent the last six months living out there in the evenings. Genuinely transformative."

Andrew Mitchell · Marina Penthouse
FAQ

Garden Design Questions

You can — and the result is usually a garden that works for 6 months and unravels. A proper design considers plant selection for UAE conditions, hardscape for outdoor living and shade, irrigation strategy, lighting, water use, and HOA compliance — coordinated into a coherent vision. Without a design, each element is improvised separately, and they typically don't work together long-term.
Full garden design service for a typical UAE villa starts from AED 8,500 and scales with garden size and complexity. Includes site survey, brief development, conceptual design, detailed master plan, planting plan, hardscape layout, 3D visualisation, and material/plant mood boards. When the design moves to build with us, the design fee is fully credited against the build cost.
Xeriscaping is landscape design that minimises water use through climate-appropriate plant selection, efficient irrigation, and intelligent layout. Particularly suited to UAE — works with the climate rather than against it, and delivers significant water savings. Doesn't mean rocks and cactus — modern xeriscape design is rich, layered, and beautiful while using 40–60% less water than conventional landscaping.
Typically 4–6 weeks from initial consultation to final master plan, including site survey, two design iterations, 3D renders, and refinement rounds. Build timeline depends on scope but typically 4–12 weeks following design completion.
Yes — we work within HOA and Dubai Municipality landscaping rules from the design stage, not retroactively. We're familiar with the rules across major UAE villa communities (Emirates Hills, Arabian Ranches, Springs, Mudon, Mirdif, etc.) and ensure the design is approvable from the start.
Both — and we recommend the same team handle both for the best result. Design-only handovers to other contractors often lose vision in translation. When we build to our own design, the designer remains involved through the build to ensure the result matches the vision. Standalone design-only service is also available.
