Landscape construction in The Meadows
In an established Meadows garden, construction often starts at the edges: the boundary wall, the roots of old trees and the fence. We sort those out first, then build the new garden on sound ground.

Construction in a garden that has had years to grow
The Meadows is one of the established villa neighbourhoods of Emirates Living, Emaar's master community, and its gardens show it: tall trees, mature hedges, and boundary walls that have stood next to them for a long time. Rebuilding a garden like this is different from landscaping a new plot. Before paving, lawn and lighting, the site team has to deal with what the years have done to the edges of the garden. This page covers that construction work and the order we do it in. The design stage is covered on our landscape design and build page for The Meadows.
What Emaar Community Management says about walls and fences
These points come from Emaar Community Management's home modification FAQ for Emirates Living.
- Owners maintain their boundary wallsExcept the surfaces of outward-facing boundary walls, which ECM says form part of the community's common area and are maintained by ECM.
- Tree damage is the owner's to repairECM states that walls broken or cracked by Damas trees within private gardens are the owner's responsibility to bring back to their original condition as per design.
- Fences must be kept in conditionAccording to ECM, approved fencing on boundary walls is the villa owner's responsibility and must be properly maintained.
- Alterations need an NOCECM's FAQ says any alteration to the villa has to be approved by Emaar, with an NOC applied for through the community portal.
How we build, step by step on site
Trees and roots
Trees that are damaging walls or paving are assessed; some are removed, others are kept with their roots managed. Trees that stay are protected.
Wall repair
Cracked sections of the garden-side wall are repaired back to the original design, and approved fencing is restored.
Groundwork
Levels, falls and drainage, so water runs away from the house and the walls.
Services
Irrigation lines and cable ducts for lighting and power, laid before any surface goes down.
Hardscape
Planters, seating walls, paths, paving and decking on a properly compacted base.
Planting and lights
Soil, new planting, lawn or artificial grass, and lighting placed on the garden side of the walls.
Working on the garden side of the wall
Lighting and finishes that follow the rules
Because the Emirates Living rules keep lights off the top and the street side of boundary walls, every wall light, uplighter and spike light we install goes inside the garden. We plan those cable routes before the planters and paving are built, so no surface is cut open later.
Work runs Monday to Saturday, 8:00 to 17:00, under the community's rules for contractor access. One project manager runs the site and reports to you.
Before and after on site
Drag the line to compare.
The four stages
Project Study
A free site visit to check walls, trees, levels, drainage and the condition of paving and irrigation.
Plan
Repairs, scope and sequence agreed. We apply for the NOC through the proper channel.
Visualization
The finished garden in 3D, so repairs and new work are built to one agreed picture.
Execution
Edges first, then groundwork and services, then hardscape and planting, all by our own team.
Duration depends on the work. A programme is given after the site visit.
