Hardscaping
the structure of your garden.

Paving, paths, pergolas, outdoor kitchens, feature walls and water features.

Hardscaping is everything built: the floor you walk on, the walls around you and the shade above you. We lay it on a proper base so it does not crack or sink, and design it together with the planting and pool, not bolted on afterwards.

Questions

What clients ask us about hardscaping.

What is the difference between hardscaping and softscaping?+

Hardscaping is the built part of a garden: paving, paths, walls, pergolas, kitchens and water features. Softscaping is the living part: plants, trees, lawns and irrigation. We do both, and plan them together.

Which paving works best around a pool in Dubai?+

Light-coloured porcelain and natural stone stay cooler underfoot in the sun and have an anti-slip finish. We help you choose on site based on how the area is used.

Can you build an outdoor kitchen with a BBQ?+

Yes. We build counters with a built-in grill, sink and storage, usually under a pergola, with power and water planned in from the start.

Do you handle pergolas and shade?+

Yes. Louvred aluminium, slatted and bamboo pergolas, with ceiling fans and lighting built in where needed.
