Residential landscaping
A garden that fits the way you live
A courtyard can have enough space for breakfast outside if the door still opens fully and someone can walk past the chairs. We plan residential gardens from those small details up. Some need a pool. Others need a bit of shade.
Personal layouts
A plan based on the size of the space and the way your household uses it.
Planting and surfaces
Paving and lawn arranged around planted borders to give each area a clear use.
Useful additions
Shade and lighting planned with the main layout. Irrigation is coordinated before work begins.
Make room for daily life
An outdoor space does not need to be large to be useful
On Dubai garden jobs we mark out the chairs as well as the table. It’s a habit from 24+ years of planning gardens for families. Pull a chair back as if you’re getting up. Can someone still get through the side gate?
In one of the gardens pictured here a strip of lawn runs along the villa to a play area. For a family using that space the route to the far end matters as much as the view from the house. Tell us which part of your garden already earns its place. We can start there and work on the areas you use less.

Choose where to spend your budget
We can work on just the part you use every day. Mark the patch you want to improve and the paving or plants you want to keep. We can show those limits on the estimate.
Courtyard layouts
Arrange circulation and seating so smaller spaces remain comfortable and easy to move through.
Screening near windows
Review planting around boundaries and windows with room for growth and routine care.
Outdoor surfaces
Coordinate new paving and edging with existing finishes that will remain.
Pool and garden details
Connect a pool area with the surrounding garden where it forms part of the project.
Room to sit and spend time
Bring the garden closer to the house
What you see through the window matters even on a day you stay indoors. From a low sofa you might see mainly the tops of a planter or a blank wall behind it. Standing in the doorway gives you a different view. Try both before choosing the height of a new bed or the spot for a favourite tree.
On a small terrace it helps to mark the furniture on the ground. Allow for a chair pulled back and the full swing of the door. That space still needs to be clear when someone is sitting down. If a new planter would pinch the path we can narrow it or move the seat before you spend money on paving.
Choosing a first change
Begin with the changes that matter most
Think of a spot you hardly use. Is the paving too hot after lunch or can the neighbours see straight in? A photo from your usual seat helps us see what a change would do.
We can price a small change on its own. Adding shade to a seat you already use may do more for you than replacing the whole patio. If something can wait it should be clear on the estimate which work you would be paying for now.

Time for upkeep
How much ongoing attention would you like the garden to need?
Courtyard questions
Gardens
at home
How much of the courtyard is usable once your chairs are out? A rough measurement helps.
Do you work with courtyards as well as larger gardens?
Yes. Even a courtyard can work if you allow for open doors and leave room to pull a chair back. With those marked out you can see how wide the beds can be.
Can you retain existing plants?
We review the existing planting during the site visit and discuss what can be kept or incorporated into the new plan.
Can you redesign a small outdoor area without adding a pool?
Yes. A shady seat or a better spot for planting can be the whole brief. The garden can stay dry and simple if what you want is a comfortable place to sit outside.
Can I keep my existing outdoor furniture?
Yes. Tell us which pieces you want to retain and share their dimensions if available. We can consider them in the layout so access and seating space are planned around the items you will actually use.

Put an unused corner to work
What would make you sit out there tomorrow? A little shade might be enough. A view from your doorway helps us suggest where to start.
