Landscape Design Company in Dubai

Most landscape work in Dubai is commissioned after the house is finished, which is why so many gardens feel applied rather than belonging. LKYOOB works the other way. Landscape design is one of six disciplines carried by the studio, alongside architecture design, interior design, engineering, project management and execution oversight, and it enters the project on day one. The terraces are drawn with the floor plan, the pool is set against the structure it borders, and the planting is planned with the same care as the joinery inside. Design across the studio is led by Mahra Al Ramlawi, so the hand that shapes the house also shapes its grounds.

Every landscape begins with reading the plot. Orientation, the path of the sun through the year, the prevailing breeze, the neighbours' sightlines and the levels of the land are all understood before a single plant is chosen. From that reading come the bones of the garden: shade structures, loggias and courtyards that make the outdoors usable in the hottest months, and lawns and terraces positioned for the seasons when Dubai is lived outside.

Water is treated as composition rather than ornament. A pool is placed where it extends the geometry of the house and catches the right light, not where a catalogue suggests it should go. The same is true of planting: species are selected to survive and serve a Dubai summer, layered to soften walls, cast shade and hold their form, so the garden looks considered in August as well as in January.

A villa landscape design service at LKYOOB includes a masterplan of the outdoor spaces, the hard landscape, planting design, pools and water features, lighting, and supervision through execution. The masterplan settles how the grounds work as a whole: arrival, the private garden, service zones, and the relationship between indoor and outdoor rooms. The hard landscape then gives that plan its permanence, in stone, paving, boundary walls, pergolas and built shade.

Planting design is where the climate is answered. Species are chosen for tolerance to heat, and to salt air where the plot demands it, arranged in layers that provide shade, screening and seasonal change, and supported by irrigation that our engineering team designs rather than leaves to chance. Lighting is resolved in the same drawings, so the garden reads as calmly at night as it does by day.

Because the studio carries execution oversight as one of its six disciplines, the landscape design does not end at a set of drawings. The same team supervises levels, drainage, pool works and planting on site, checks materials against the approved samples, and stays with the project until the garden is established and handed over.
