Landscape design and build in The Springs
We design gardens for The Springs around the plot you actually have, often a compact townhouse garden backing onto greenery, show it in 3D, and build it with the same team.

Designing a garden that borrows the community's greenery
According to Emaar Community Management (ECM), The Springs is the largest neighbourhood in Emirates Living, made up mainly of townhouses with some detached villas, set around parks, lakes and walking trails. That setting shapes a good design. Many gardens look over mature trees that are not yours to change, because ECM explains that common-area planting belongs to the master community. A design for The Springs therefore treats the trees beyond the wall as a backdrop, and spends the space inside the plot on what the family uses: a shaded place to sit, somewhere to eat, a little planting and good light in the evening.
Our project in The Springs
Project Barn: a plain back yard made into an outdoor room
Project Barn is our completed project in The Springs. Its description in our project records is a complete outdoor redesign with a minimalist design language, weather-resistant materials, integrated lighting for use after dark, and custom detailing to keep the finish clean and uncluttered.
The photographs show the approach: a white pergola over the lounge and dining area, calm rendered boundary walls with wall lights, and very little visual clutter. In a compact garden, fewer and better-placed elements make the space feel larger than filling it with features.
Design questions specific to a Springs garden
- Middle or end unitAn end townhouse often has a side strip that can become a path, a planted edge or a bin store. A middle unit usually has only the rear garden, so every metre counts.
- What faces the gardenA lake, a park or a neighbour's wall each suggest a different layout: open towards the view, or turned inwards with screening.
- Tree positionsECM's FAQ states that trees must be planted at least 1.5 metres from villa boundary walls and that Conocarpus (Damas) trees are not permitted. We draw the planting plan to those rules.
- Shade from the houseTwo-storey townhouses throw useful afternoon shade on part of the garden. We place seating where that shade falls and add a pergola where it does not.
What the design covers
Concept and zoning
Sitting, dining, play and service areas fitted to a garden that is often narrow and deep.
Materials palette
Paving, wall finishes and decking chosen together so a small garden reads as one space.
Planting plan
Shrubs, trees and lawn or artificial grass placed for sun, shade and the community's tree rules.
Lighting layout
Wall, path and planting lights drawn with the plan, as in Project Barn, so the garden works at night.
From first visit to finished garden
Project Study
A free site visit to measure the garden, note what it looks onto and check how materials can reach the back.
Plan
Zones, materials and planting are agreed, and we apply ourselves for the NOC that Emaar requires before changes to the garden.
Visualization
You see the garden in 3D from the living room and from the gate, and we revise it with you.
Execution
Our in-house team builds the approved design, with one project manager as your contact throughout.
