How much does a full garden redesign cost in Dubai?

A full garden redesign for a large Emirates Hills villa is a significant project — here's a realistic budget guide. Design only (landscape architect/designer fee): AED 5,000–AED 20,000 for a concept design and planting plan. Basic redesign (artificial turf, simple planting, basic paving repairs): AED 30,000–AED 60,000. Mid-range (artificial turf, feature planting with irrigation, seating area with pergola, improved lighting): AED 60,000–AED 150,000. High-end (full landscape design, premium artificial turf, custom hardscaping, mature trees, smart irrigation, pool area landscaping): AED 150,000–AED 400,000+. For an Emirates Hills garden, the key decisions are: artificial turf quality (choose UV-stabilised, pet-friendly options with silica sand infill for Dubai's heat), shading structures (a motorised louvred pergola makes the seating area genuinely usable year-round), and irrigation system (even for artificial turf, planted areas need a properly designed drip irrigation system in Dubai's climate). Always get 3 quotes from landscapers with completed Dubai villa portfolios — show them photos of similar Emirates Hills gardens you admire.
