Choose a garden you can care for

A garden should fit the time you want to spend outdoors and the effort you can give it afterwards. Confirm what will be delivered: established planting, irrigation, paving or an unfinished space. Ask who handles routine care and check any approval process for changing the layout before requesting landscaping quotations. For example, a household that travels often may prefer a simpler planting plan to a garden that needs frequent attention. Discuss irrigation, drainage and access for maintenance with an appropriate contractor, and separate installation costs from ongoing care. Do not assume the display garden is included with the home. In Abu Dhabi, the practical question is how the proposed outdoor space will serve your household throughout the year, including periods when nobody is there. Prepared by Masterpiece Property.
