Landscape construction in The Villa

Once a garden design is agreed, the work becomes a construction project with its own sequence. On villas in The Villa it usually means breaking out old paving or a tired lawn, setting new levels so water runs away from the house, building blockwork for planters, seating and counters, laying irrigation and cable ducts, and only then paving, turfing and planting. Many of these homes have been lived in for some time, so construction often starts with removing what an earlier owner built and finding out where existing services run. This page is about that execution side. If you are still deciding what the garden should look like, our design-and-build page for The Villa covers the design stage.

• Strip-out and excavationOld paving, kerbs, gravel and dead lawn removed, and ground dug to the depth the new levels need.
• Levels and drainageFalls set away from the villa and the boundary walls, so irrigation water and rain do not collect against render.
• Civil and blockworkPlanter walls, raised beds, bases for BBQ and bar counters, steps and any boundary wall changes.
• Irrigation and ductsIrrigation lines laid in zones, plus ducts for garden lighting and power, all before anything is closed over.
• HardscapePaving, interlock, stepping stones and edging set to the agreed levels.
• Softscape and lightingNatural lawn or artificial grass, planting and palms, then light fittings connected and tested.

According to Dubai Properties' own website, The Villa was developed by Dubai Properties. Dubai Holding states that its community management company oversees communities developed by Nakheel, Meraas and Dubai Properties. The approval a garden needs depends on what is being built: new walls, structures and anything visible from the street are treated differently from replanting a lawn. We confirm what applies to your villa and apply for it ourselves before construction starts.
