Making New Gardens
Right Choice is a specialist landscaping company making new gardens in Dubai for villas, townhouses, rooftops and commercial properties. From an empty patch of sand to a finished outdoor space with plants, irrigation and paving, we handle the entire project under one roof.
Making a new garden in Dubai is not the same as anywhere else. The heat, the salinity in the soil, and the water demand mean a garden built on generic advice will struggle within a season. Our horticulturists design around Dubai’s climate from day one, so the garden survives its first summer and keeps looking good for years.

Our Step-by-Step Process for Making New Gardens
Step 1 — Site Visit and Consultation
Step 2 — Choosing the Ideal Location for Your New Garden
Step 3 — Garden Design and Plant Selection
We sketch out the garden plot and map exactly where each plant and tree will sit, allowing for mature spread, access for watering and pruning, and root clearance from walls and pipework. Plant selection is matched to your lifestyle. Busy clients and first-time garden owners usually go for low-maintenance, drought-tolerant planting — bougainvillea, desert rose, palms, succulents and native ground cover — which need far less water and fertiliser. If you want colour and flowering variety, we build in a seasonal planting plan instead. You approve the design before any work begins.
Step 4 — Soil Preparation and Irrigation
Dubai’s native sandy soil holds almost no nutrients or moisture, so soil preparation decides whether your new garden thrives or dies. We test and correct pH, nutrient content and composition, then work in two to three inches of quality compost to improve water retention, oxygen flow and root development.
At the same stage we install an automatic irrigation system sized to your planting plan, so every zone gets the right volume of water at the right time of day. For planter beds and containers we use a dedicated topsoil and compost mix.
Step 5 — Planting and Hard Landscaping
Our team plants everything to the approved layout and completes any hard landscaping in the same phase — paver tiles, walkways, borders, raised beds, garden lighting and water features.
Step 6 — Weed Protection and Mulching
Weeds are unavoidable in any new garden, but they can be controlled from the start. Our gardeners remove weeds manually using trowels and hoes so plant roots stay undisturbed, then apply a two to three inch layer of organic mulch over the beds.
That mulch layer does three jobs at once: it stops weed seeds germinating, cuts water evaporation in the heat, and feeds nutrients back into the soil as it breaks down. We use organic mulch only — never inorganic materials that can leach chemicals into your soil.
Where a garden has a heavy existing weed problem, we can use tested commercial weed killers, but only with your approval and never as a default.
Step 7 — Handover and Aftercare
We hand over the finished garden with a written care schedule — watering times, pruning intervals and seasonal tasks. Most clients add one of our ongoing garden maintenance packages so the new garden stays in the condition it was delivered in.
Types of New Gardens We Create in Dubai
- Villa gardens: Full front and back garden creation, lawns, mature tree planting and entertaining areas.
- Rooftop and balcony gardens: Lightweight planters and containers for apartments and penthouses.
- Low-maintenance desert gardens: Xeriscape planting with minimal water demand.
- Majlis and shaded seating gardens: Pergolas, screening and shade planting.
- Family and kids’ gardens: Safe turf areas, non-toxic planting and play zones.
- Commercial landscapes: Hotels, compounds, offices and developer handover projects.
How Long Does Making a New Garden Take?
A small courtyard or balcony garden is usually completed within 3 to 7 days. A standard villa garden takes 2 to 4 weeks from design approval, depending on hard landscaping and irrigation scope. Large or commercial projects are scheduled in phases with agreed milestones. You receive a project timeline in writing before work starts.
Cost of Making a New Garden in Dubai
Cost depends on area size, soil condition, plant maturity, irrigation coverage and how much hard landscaping is involved. A compact soft-landscaping-only garden sits at the lower end, while a full villa garden with paving, lighting and mature trees sits considerably higher.
