Landscaping Pricing in Dubai: How We Quote
Last reviewed: September, 2026
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. Pricing starts from AED 500 per month depending on garden size and service scope.
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 so there are no surprises.

What you get with every quote
Fixed-price quotes, always
We write it down. The number in your quote is the number on your invoice. No day rates, no scope creep charges, no surprise extras.
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 that costs AED 500, 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.
How our pricing compares across Dubai and Sharjah
Sharjah pricing is broadly similar to Dubai. We schedule efficiently so a Sharjah visit does not 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 landscaping cost guide for Dubai and Sharjah.
Indicative AED prices by service
These ranges are drawn directly from our service pages so you can see the price band before requesting a quote. Final pricing is always confirmed in a written quote after a free site visit. All figures are in AED, VAT shown separately on the invoice.
