Landscape construction in Pearl Jumeirah

Landscape construction is the execution side of a garden: turning an approved layout into walls, paving, planting beds, irrigation and lighting that will hold up. Meraas describes Pearl Jumeira as a reclaimed island with plots for custom-built villas, and that brings a few practical points. Gardens are often built after a large custom house has just been completed, so the site may still carry construction debris, temporary levels and services left by the main contractor. Ground conditions near the coast need sensible drainage, and fixings and lights have to suit humid, salty air. We check all of this before the first trench is dug.

Most garden defects come from building the layers in the wrong order. On site we work in this sequence.

• Clearing and setting outRemoving debris and old material, then marking zones, paths and structures from the approved drawings.
• Levels and drainageSetting falls away from the house and towards drainage points, so irrigation water and rare heavy rain do not sit against walls or on terraces.
• Civil and blockworkFootings, garden and boundary walls, raised planters, steps and the bases for pergolas, kitchens or seating.
• ServicesIrrigation mains and zones, cable ducts for lighting and power, and pipework for any water feature, laid and tested before they disappear.
• HardscapePaving and interlock, stepping stones, decking and cladding, laid to the levels set earlier.
• Softscape and lightingSoil, planting, lawn or artificial grass, then light fittings connected and aimed.
