Landscape design and build in Al Barari

In Al Barari a private garden is read against the planting around it. We design yours to belong to that setting, show it to you in 3D, prepare the drawings the master developer asks for, and build it with our own team.

A GARDEN

A garden inside a larger garden

Al Barari describes itself as a community built around nature, with themed gardens, flowing water and homes designed to sit within the landscape. For a villa owner that changes the design question. A garden here is not an empty yard to be filled; it is the last few metres of a much larger planted setting, seen from the house on one side and from the community's own greenery on the other. A scheme that ignores that setting, with hard edges, a wall of paving or a palette that clashes with the planting beyond the boundary, tends to look out of place. Our approach is design-led: we study how the plot meets its surroundings, decide what to borrow and what to screen, and only then choose materials and planting. The same team then builds what you approved, as with all our landscape design in Dubai.

GARDEN DESIGN

Garden design questions specific to an Al Barari plot

01

Borrowed views

Where the community's planting or water can be seen from your terrace, the design keeps that line of sight open and frames it, rather than blocking it with a structure.

02

Existing canopy

Established trees on or near the plot give shade but also drop leaves and compete for water. We place seating, lawn and any pool with that in mind.

03

A planting palette that blends

Beds closest to the boundary are planted to read as a continuation of the surroundings; more formal planting is kept near the house.

04

Soft edges

Planters, stepping stones and gravel bands let a garden fade into green, where a straight line of interlock would stop it abruptly.

05

Shade that does not dominate

Pergolas and gazebos are sized and positioned so they shelter a seating area without becoming the main thing you see from the house.

06

Light at night

Low, warm lighting on paths and trees keeps the garden usable after dark without flooding a setting that is meant to feel calm.

THE DESIGN

The design is also the approval package

What Al Barari's published rules ask for

According to Al Barari's published rules on construction and modifications, an owner may not modify the unit or alter the plot without a no-objection certificate from the master developer, and all drawings, plans and designs have to be submitted for that NOC. The same rules say that the architectural and landscaping guidelines the master developer issues are mandatory for anyone carrying out construction or landscaping in the community.

That is one more reason to design first. The 3D design you approve becomes the basis of the drawings we submit, so the garden that is approved is the garden that is built. We apply for the approvals ourselves; the master developer sets its own documents, fees and timelines, and we do not quote them here.

GARDENS FROM

Gardens from our projects in other Dubai communities

FROM FIRST

From first walk-round to finished garden

01

Project Study

A free site visit to walk the plot, note which views and trees matter, and check levels, access and existing services.

02

Plan

Zoning, routes and scope agreed with you, along with what the master developer's guidelines allow on your plot.

03

Visualization

The garden in 3D, seen from inside the villa and from the boundary, revised until it sits right in its surroundings. The approved design becomes the NOC drawings.

04

Execution

Our in-house team builds the approved scheme, with one project manager as your contact through to handover.

How long it takes depends on the scope and the NOC. You get a programme after the first visit.

FAQ

Questions and answers

Do I need approval to redesign my garden in Al Barari?

According to Al Barari's published rules, modifications to the unit or its plot need a no-objection certificate from the master developer, based on submitted drawings and designs. We prepare those drawings and apply for the approval ourselves.

Does the master developer have landscaping guidelines?

Its published rules refer to architectural and landscaping guidelines issued by the master developer from time to time and say they are mandatory. We work to the version that applies when your NOC is requested.

Have you built gardens in Al Barari before?

Not that we show here. These gardens are in other parts of Dubai and are included so you can judge our design and execution.

Can the garden keep the trees we already have?

Usually, yes. We note established trees at the site visit and design around their roots, shade and leaf drop.

Will I see the design before it is submitted?

Yes. You approve the garden in 3D first, and the submission is drawn from that approved design.

Is the site visit free?

Yes. We visit the villa, walk the garden with you and discuss the brief at no charge.
