Gardening & grounds maintenance in the UAE

Updated 4 November 2026

Gardening and grounds maintenance in the UAE costs about AED 300 to 500 a month for a small garden and AED 900 to 3,000 a month for a large one, according to sellers' websites in Dubai, November 2026. For a price for your own plot, send a request on BlaBlaPrice and the AI will show the prices and businesses it finds here.

Local rules and what to check

Standard 5% VAT applies to landscape and gardening services in the UAE, so ask the seller to state whether the quoted price includes it. Landscape and gardening work is done under a dedicated trade licence, and maintenance companies in Dubai also need approvals from Dubai Municipality and Civil Defence. Ask for the licence number before you agree on a monthly plan.

Season in a desert climate

The UAE has a desert climate: summers are very hot from May to September, and the mild season runs from November to March. Most big jobs, such as planting, pruning and reseeding a lawn, are best done in the cooler months. In summer the useful visits are short checks on watering and shade, so ask the seller how often they plan to come in July and August.

How gardening is bought here

Prices are quoted in two ways. Routine care is usually a monthly fee for a set number of visits, and sellers quote AED 500 a month for a twice-weekly plan in Dubai. Other work is priced by the hour, around AED 79 to 109 for routine labour, or per job, such as tree trimming from around AED 610. Gardens are measured in square metres, so give the plot area in m² and the number of plants. Give your address too, because the city can be Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman or Al Ain.

What to write in your request

Describe the work needed, the plot area in m², the number of plants and the condition of the plot, for example overgrown, dry or with a damaged lawn. Add how often you want a visit, whether green waste must be removed, your address and the date you want to start. A budget in AED helps sellers answer with a plan that fits.
