Landscaping Pricing in Dubai: How We Quote
Last reviewed: October, 2026
Every garden is different
Every garden is different. We quote after a free site visit, based on the size, the work involved and what is included (for example cleaning, mowing, hedge cutting, pruning, irrigation checks, pool care). VAT is shown separately on the quote and invoice.
What affects the final price for any landscaping project?
Plot size and access
A large villa garden typically costs less per square metre than a small courtyard due to economies of scale, but ground-floor villas with vehicle access cost less than high-rise apartments where every bag of soil requires a service lift.
Soil condition and prep
Some Dubai areas have sandy fill that holds plants well. Others have compacted desert sand or saline groundwater that requires soil rebuilding with imported topsoil. Soil condition is always assessed during the free site visit.
Plant selection
Heat-tolerant natives such as date palm, ghaf, neem, and oleander are affordable and durable. Imported or specialty species cost significantly more per plant and require more intensive care, especially in Dubai's climate.
Irrigation complexity
A small drip system for a few plants is a modest investment. A full villa irrigation system with sprinklers, drip lines, controller, sensors, and zoning is a larger scope. The right solution for your garden is assessed on site.
Hardscape complexity
Plain interlock paving is straightforward and cost-effective. Natural stone, cantilevered features, custom built-ins, and integrated lighting push costs higher. Materials and design complexity are the main drivers.
Maintenance schedule
Regular maintenance contracts typically offer better value per visit compared to one-off calls because routing, materials, and team scheduling are optimised. We offer monthly and bi-monthly plans. The monthly price depends on garden size and service scope, and is confirmed after a free site visit.
Project timeline
Rush jobs with compressed timelines carry a premium. Standard turnaround for design-and-build is three to six weeks. We always flag if your desired timeline requires a rush rate before you commit.
Permits and approvals
Some communities require approval for hardscape changes, fences, or structures. Approval fees and document preparation costs are itemised clearly in your quote.

What you get with every quote
Written, itemised quotes
Written, itemised quote. The price only changes if you ask for extra work or the site conditions differ, and we agree any change in writing first. Quotes are valid for 30 days.
Free site visit, no obligation
Our team visits your space, assesses the conditions, and puts together a detailed proposal. You pay nothing until you decide to go ahead. This is different from a formal site inspection, a separate, more detailed survey, ask us if that's what you need instead.
Licensed and insured team
Dubai trade licence and insurance details are available on request, so you know exactly who is working on your property.
Quotes across Dubai and Sharjah
We quote the same way in Dubai and Sharjah: a free site visit first, then a written quote for your location.
For Ajman, RAK, and Fujairah, we currently do plant deliveries UAE-wide but not on-site landscaping. Ask us if you have a specific project. See more in our landscaping cost guide for Dubai and Sharjah.
