Frequently Asked Questions

In the UAE's demanding climate, we recommend:

• Summer (April–October): Weekly maintenance — heat and humidity accelerate plant stress, weed growth, and pest activity
• Winter (November–March): Bi-weekly maintenance — cooler temperatures reduce growth rates and irrigation needs

Each maintenance visit includes trimming, edging, weeding, fertilizing, pest inspection, and irrigation system checks. We tailor the frequency to your specific garden size and plant types.

Heat and drought-tolerant plants thrive best in the UAE. Our top recommendations include:

• Flowering shrubs: Bougainvillea, Oleander, Lantana, Desert Rose (Adenium)
• Trees: Frangipani, Ghaf Tree, Flame Tree, Neem
• Palms: Date Palm, Sago Palm, Areca Palm, Bismarck Palm
• Groundcovers: Portulaca, Gazania, Ice Plant
• Succulents & Cacti: Agave, Aloe Vera, various Cacti

We help select plants based on your garden's sun exposure, soil conditions, water availability, and your aesthetic preferences.

Yes! We offer flexible maintenance contract options:

• Annual contracts — Best value with scheduled visits, seasonal planting programs, fertilization cycles, and priority emergency support
• Semi-annual contracts — Bi-annual review with scheduled care packages
• Quarterly contracts — Ideal for seasonal intervention and inspections
• Ad-hoc visits — One-time or on-call maintenance when needed

Contact us for a customized maintenance package tailored to your garden's size and needs.

We use an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approach that prioritizes safety and effectiveness:

• Prevention: Regular inspections to catch issues early before they spread
• Biological controls: Encouraging natural predators and beneficial organisms
• Targeted organic treatments: Neem oil, insecticidal soaps, and botanical solutions
• Chemical intervention: Only when necessary, using approved, low-toxicity products

Common UAE garden pests we treat include red spider mites, mealybugs, scale insects, whiteflies, and aphids. We also treat fungal diseases like powdery mildew that flourish during humid months.

Project timelines vary based on scope and complexity:

• Small residential garden (up to 100 sqm): 2–3 weeks
• Medium villa garden (100–500 sqm): 3–6 weeks
• Large villa or estate: 6–12 weeks
• Commercial or hospitality projects: 2–6 months

We provide a detailed project schedule after the initial site assessment, with clear milestones from concept design through material procurement, installation, and final handover.

Yes! We offer professional design visualizations to help you preview your project before any work begins:

• 2D AutoCAD layout plans — Detailed top-view garden layout with dimensions
• 3D rendered visualizations — Photorealistic views of your completed garden from multiple angles
• Material and plant mood boards — Visual selections of hardscape materials, plants, and lighting

This allows you to make confident decisions on layout, plant selections, materials, lighting, and water features before a single shovel enters the ground.

Yes, and we strongly encourage early engagement for new-build projects. Collaborating with architects and main contractors during construction allows us to:

• Plan underground irrigation and drainage pipes before slabs are poured
• Prepare and condition soil during construction phases
• Integrate outdoor lighting wiring during electrical rough-in
• Plan for structural hardscape elements (pergolas, retaining walls) alongside building work

Early involvement results in a more seamless, cost-effective landscape installation and avoids costly retrofitting.

Xeriscaping is a water-conscious landscaping philosophy that uses drought-tolerant plants, efficient drip irrigation, mulching, and smart soil preparation to dramatically reduce outdoor water consumption. It is highly suitable for the UAE's arid climate and can:

• Reduce garden water consumption by up to 70%
• Lower maintenance costs over the long term
• Create beautiful, natural desert-inspired landscapes
• Support UAE sustainability and green building initiatives

Our xeriscaping designs combine native plants, gravel mulching, decorative rock, and minimal water infrastructure to create stunning low-maintenance outdoor spaces.

Yes! Vertical gardens and green walls are one of our specialties. We design and install:

• Outdoor green walls — Building facades, boundary walls, and feature walls
• Indoor living walls — Office lobbies, hotel interiors, residential feature walls
• Hydroponic systems — Soil-free, lightweight panels ideal for high-rise properties
• Soil-based systems — Traditional felt or modular planter systems

Each system includes integrated automated irrigation, and we select plants specifically suited to UAE indoor or outdoor lighting conditions to ensure long-term health and visual impact.

Landscaping costs vary based on project size, complexity, plant selections, and materials. Typical ranges in Dubai:
