From a garden refresh to a resort-style outdoor space — what each costs per sqm in Dubai, then a fixed itemized quote in 24 hours.
The short answer
Landscaping in Dubai costs AED 250–1,200 per square metre in 2026 depending on the hardscape-to-softscape ratio — roughly AED 25,000–80,000 for a garden refresh, AED 80,000–250,000 for a full landscape with hardscape and a pergola, and AED 250,000–800,000+ for a resort-style garden with water features and an outdoor kitchen.
Typical range: AED 25,000 – 800,000+
Three honest tiers. You choose the level — we hold the price.
Softscape
AED 25,000 – 80,000
New turf, planting and irrigation with basic lighting on the existing layout — a clean, green refresh.
Most popular
AED 80,000 – 250,000
Hardscape and softscape together — paving or decking, a pergola, lighting, irrigation and a proper planting design.
Premium
AED 250,000 – 800,000+
A resort-style garden — water features, a large pergola or majlis, an outdoor kitchen and premium stone with smart controls.

Hardscape (paving / decking / walls)
Concrete to porcelain or travertine

AED 150 – 500 / sqm
Irrigation system (DEWA)
Drip + sprinkler, controller, water point
AED 8,000 – 45,000
Outdoor lighting
Path, feature and ambient lighting
AED 6,000 – 40,000

Aluminium / timber, size & finish
AED 20,000 – 150,000
Water features & drainage
Pools/fountains, soakaway, falls
AED 10,000 – 120,000
Four factors decide where you land in the range.
Paving, decking and walls cost far more per sqm than turf and planting — the ratio is the biggest price lever.
Concrete pavers vs porcelain or travertine, and artificial vs premium natural turf, swing the total significantly.
Automated irrigation and proper drainage/soakaways are essential in Dubai and add cost but protect the garden long-term.
Pergolas, outdoor kitchens and water features are the big-ticket additions that take a garden to resort level.
Resale context
Property value depends on the community, condition, specification and current comparable evidence; renovation returns are not guaranteed.
Timeline
4–10 weeks depending on hardscape, structures and planting.
In Dubai, the lowest quote is rarely the final bill. We do it differently — and we put it in writing.
