What affects the final price for any landscaping project?
Plot size and access.
A 100 sqm villa garden costs proportionally less per square metre than a 30 sqm courtyard, but ground-floor villas with vehicle access cost less than tower-block apartments where every bag of soil rides a service lift.
Soil condition and prep.
Some Dubai areas (Al Furjan, parts of JVC) have sandy fill that holds plants well. Others (older parts of Mirdif, parts of Al Khawaneej) have compacted desert sand or saline groundwater that requires soil rebuild — typically AED 50–150 per cubic metre of imported topsoil.
Plant selection.
Heat-tolerant natives (date palm, ghaf, neem, oleander) are inexpensive and durable. Imported species (frangipani, bougainvillea cultivars, exotic palms) cost 3–10x more per plant and need more careful care.
Irrigation complexity.
A small drip system for 20 plants is AED 2,000–4,000. A full villa irrigation system with sprinklers, drip lines, controller, sensors, and zoning is AED 8,000–15,000+.
Hardscape complexity.
Plain interlock paving is AED 80–150/sqm. Natural stone, cantilevered features, and lighting integration push prices to AED 400–800/sqm or more.
Maintenance schedule.
A weekly maintenance contract typically saves 30–40% per visit compared to one-off calls because routing, materials, and team scheduling are optimised.
Project timeline.
Rush jobs with compressed timelines cost 15–25% more. Standard turnaround for design-and-build is 3–6 weeks; rush jobs at 7–14 days carry premium pricing.
Permits and approvals.
Some communities (Emaar, Damac, Nakheel master communities) require approval for hardscape changes, fences, or structures. Approval fees and document prep are typically AED 500–2,500 and reflected in your quote.

How our pricing compares across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah
| Service | Dubai | Abu Dhabi | Sharjah |
|---|---|---|---|

| Plant installation | Same | Same | Same |
| Grass installation | Same | Same +5% | Same |
| Pergola | Same | Same +10% | Same -5% |
Abu Dhabi pricing is slightly higher because of travel time from our Dubai depot. Sharjah pricing is broadly similar to Dubai. We do not offer flat-rate discounts on cross-emirate work, but we do schedule efficiently so a Sharjah visit doesn't cost more than a Dubai one for the same scope.
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 cost of landscaping in Dubai, Abu Dhabi & Sharjah guide.
