Frequently Asked Questions

Landscaping in Dubai typically costs between AED 50 and AED 150 per square foot, depending on design complexity and materials used. A basic 100 sqm residential garden generally ranges from AED 15,000 to AED 50,000, while premium villa landscaping with hardscaping, irrigation, and custom features can reach AED 150,000 or more.

Yes. Any project involving structural changes — such as pools, pergolas, or boundary modifications — requires approval from Dubai Municipality, Trakhees, or your community developer (e.g., Emaar, Nakheel, DDA), depending on your location. Basic softscape work like planting and lawn care usually does not require a permit. MasterMaint handles the full approval process on the client's behalf as part of our service.

Softscape refers to the living elements of a landscape — plants, lawns, trees, and green walls. Hardscape refers to the built, non-living structures — pathways, decking, pergolas, retaining walls, and GRP/GRC planters. Most outdoor projects in Dubai combine both to balance aesthetics with function in the region's climate.

Small residential landscaping projects typically take 2 to 6 weeks. Larger villa transformations involving hardscaping, irrigation systems, and custom planters can take 2 to 3 months, depending on scope and municipality approval timelines.

Artificial grass requires significantly less water and maintenance, making it a popular choice for Dubai's heat and water conservation goals. Natural grass has a lower upfront cost but requires more frequent watering, mowing, and upkeep to survive the region's summer temperatures. MasterMaint offers both live and artificial/preserved options depending on budget and maintenance preference.

Swimming pool construction in Dubai typically ranges from AED 55,000 to AED 400,000 or more, depending on pool size, material (concrete, fiberglass, or vinyl), and features such as infinity edges, heating, or automation. A small villa pool (around 8m x 4m) generally falls between AED 90,000 and AED 130,000.

Building a pool in Dubai requires a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from your community developer, followed by approval from Dubai Municipality or Trakhees depending on your area. MasterMaint manages all NOC applications, technical drawings, and approvals as part of our turnkey pool construction process.

Monthly pool maintenance in Dubai typically costs AED 500 to AED 1,500, covering chemical balancing, filter cleaning, pump servicing, and water testing. Annual maintenance contracts generally range from AED 5,000 to AED 12,000 depending on pool size and service frequency.

Concrete pools offer full design flexibility and long-term durability, making them the most common choice for custom villa pools in Dubai. Fiberglass pools install faster and have lower ongoing chemical and maintenance costs but are limited to standard shapes and sizes.

Check the contractor's trade license, request a portfolio of completed projects, read verified client reviews, and ask for an itemized quote rather than a single lump sum. A transparent contractor will break down costs by material, labor, and approvals separately.
