Landscape design and build in DAMAC Hills

We study your DAMAC Hills garden, design it in 3D around how the family will use it, and then build the approved scheme with our own team.

DESIGNING A

Designing a garden that sits next to a golf course

According to DAMAC Properties, DAMAC Hills was its first community project: a gated community of villas, townhouses and apartments set around parkland and a championship golf course, Trump International Golf Club Dubai. That setting shapes a garden here more than in most of Dubai. Many homes look out onto shared greenery, so a private garden reads as part of a wider landscape, and the question is often what to frame and what to screen. Townhouse gardens tend to be narrow and are seen from the living room through one wide opening; detached villas usually have a garden on more than one side. A design-and-build project starts by deciding what each of those spaces is for, then draws the planting, surfaces, light and shade to suit, and finishes with the same company building what was drawn.

WHAT WE

What we read on a DAMAC Hills plot before drawing

  • The view out and the view inWhich direction looks onto fairway, park or a neighbour, and where a screen, hedge or slatted panel earns its place.
  • The opening from the houseMost of these gardens are experienced from the sofa first. We set the main axis of the design on that view.
  • Afternoon sun on the terraceWhere a seating area will be unusable on a summer afternoon unless shade is planned with it.
  • Garden width and side passagesNarrow side returns decide how planting, paths and services are laid out, and how materials will later reach the back.
CHOOSING A

Choosing a palette for planting and materials

A short list of plants and finishes, repeated, keeps a small garden calm.

01

Ground surfaces

A balance of artificial grass or natural lawn, stepping stones and paving, chosen for how much of the garden is walked on and how much is looked at.

02

Vertical green

Hedges, climbers and planters along boundary walls, which in a townhouse garden often matter more than the floor.

03

Walls and cladding

Cladding or slatted panels to give a plain boundary wall texture and to hide what you do not want to see.

04

Light

Spike lights in planting, low path lights beside stepping stones and wall lights, drawn into the plan from the start.

05

Water and focal pieces

A fountain, sculpture or feature planter placed on the main view from the house.

Execution

Our team builds what you approved, coordinated by one project manager.

Duration depends on the work. A programme is given after the site visit.

FAQ

Questions and answers

Do you design only, or design and build in DAMAC Hills?

Both, as one project. The garden is designed in 3D and built by our own team, so there is no hand-over between a designer and a contractor.

My townhouse garden is small. Is a design worth it?

Small gardens benefit most, because every metre is visible from the house.

Can the design make the most of a golf course or park view?

Yes. We set the layout and planting heights so the view is framed from the main rooms, and screen the parts you would rather not see.

Who approves garden changes in DAMAC Hills?

Approvals sit with the community's master developer or management, and what is needed depends on the scope. We check what applies to your home and apply for the approvals ourselves.

Have you worked in DAMAC communities before?

Yes. Projects Bold and Alpha are in DAMAC Hills 2 and Project Solace is in DAMAC Hills, all with outdoor works described on their project pages.

What changes the cost?

The size of the garden, the balance of planting and hard surfaces, the finishes, lighting and any features such as a fountain or pergola. A quotation follows the site visit.
