Landscape construction in Jumeirah

Jumeirah's villas sit on individual plots and were built and altered over a long period, so the ground under a garden often holds surprises. Paving may sit on an older slab. Irrigation pipes may run in directions nobody remembers. Tree roots may have lifted walls and paths. Drains may have been blocked or covered by later work. Landscape construction here starts with uncovering and recording what is really in the ground. Only then can levels, drainage and new services be laid properly and the visible garden built on top without settling or cracking later. This page covers that execution work; the design side has its own page.

• Trial pits and tracingOpening small areas to find old services, slabs and roots before larger demolition starts.
• Controlled removalBreaking out old paving and structures in sections, keeping what is staying intact.
• Root protectionWorking by hand near mature trees, cutting roots cleanly only where necessary, and keeping trees watered during works.
• Wall repairsBoundary and garden walls cracked by settlement or roots are repaired or rebuilt before new planting is set against them.
• New drainage and levelsFalls re-set away from the house, with outlets checked and cleared.
• Services, hardscape and plantingNew irrigation zones and lighting ducts, then paving and walls, then soil, planting and lawn or artificial grass.

Outside the master communities, building permits for villas in Dubai are generally handled by Dubai Municipality, which lists among its services a permit to make modifications and additions to existing buildings and a building completion certificate. Paving and planting alone may not need a permit, while new walls, roofed structures or a pool may. We confirm what your scope needs and apply for it ourselves.

Duration depends on the work and on what is found in the ground. Once we have surveyed the plot, we give you a programme.
