The landscaping team has finished. Your lawn is in place, the planting beds look tidy, and the garden is finally ready to enjoy.
Before closing the project, there is one more arrangement to make: who will look after it from here?
You need to know which tasks belong to the installation handover, what care the new planting requires and when regular maintenance should begin. Without a clear transition, responsibility can become uncertain just when you need straightforward instructions.
KAME Gardens offers garden maintenance in Dubai starting from AED 500 per month, with two visits per week. Pool maintenance is available separately, also starting from AED 500 per month with two visits per week.
For a newly completed landscape, begin by sharing the installer’s care instructions and explaining what has recently been planted or changed.
Get a Clear Handover Before the Landscaping Team Leaves
Ask the installer to walk you through the finished garden.
Identify the irrigation controls, newly planted areas and anything that needs follow-up. Request written care instructions where available, along with details of any agreed aftercare or outstanding work.
Useful questions include:
- Which plants and lawn areas were recently installed?
- What watering instructions should the maintenance team follow?
- Are follow-up visits included in the landscaping agreement?
- Is any work still outstanding?
- Who should be contacted if a newly installed feature develops a problem?
- Are there conditions attached to any plant or workmanship warranty?
Keep this information together. It gives your maintenance provider a starting point and helps avoid conflicting instructions.
Separate Installation Aftercare from Regular Maintenance
A landscaping project and an ongoing maintenance plan serve different purposes.
The installer may have agreed to specific checks or adjustments after completion. Your maintenance provider may be responsible for recurring tasks such as garden cleaning, lawn care and pruning when appropriate.
Some responsibilities can overlap, so clarify them before the new service starts.
| Responsibility | What to clarify |
|---|---|
| New planting care | The installer’s instructions and who will carry them out |
| Irrigation settings | Who established them and who can make adjustments |
| Routine upkeep | The tasks included in the maintenance agreement |
| Installation concerns | Who investigates and resolves outstanding defects |
| Replacement work | Whether it falls under an existing agreement or needs a quotation |
Do not assume a monthly maintenance fee covers unfinished installation work. Equally, do not assume the landscaping contract includes ongoing care indefinitely.
What Garden Maintenance Can Include
Once the handover is clear, agree on the work your garden needs throughout the month.
KAME Gardens’ garden and landscape maintenance work may include:
- Lawn care
- Plant care
- Hedge trimming
- Pruning
- Garden cleaning
- Removal of dry leaves and garden waste
- Monitoring plant health
- Checking visible irrigation issues
- General garden upkeep
- Maintaining the overall appearance of your landscape
Starting from AED 500 per month — two visits per week.
The task list should reflect the garden’s condition. Newly installed planting should not automatically receive the same treatment as an established hedge or lawn.
Share the handover instructions before work begins and ask the team to flag anything that needs clarification.
Agree on the Appearance You Want to Maintain
A garden can gradually look different from the design you approved if maintenance preferences are never discussed.
Show the team the intended hedge height, the shape of planting borders and the areas you want kept clear. Explain which plants are meant to grow more freely and which need a defined outline.
Photographs from the completed landscaping project can help communicate your expectations. They are particularly useful when you are away during visits.
Ask before requesting major changes. Cutting back newly installed planting, moving plants or altering irrigation may affect the original care plan and should be discussed with the relevant provider.
Use the First Month to Establish a Routine
During the first maintenance visits, focus on communication as well as appearance.
Ask the team to identify any concerns and distinguish routine tasks from work needing further assessment. Keep dated photographs of areas you want monitored.
A simple record might include:
- The date of the visit.
- Work completed.
- Plants or lawn areas needing attention.
- Visible irrigation concerns.
- Questions for the installer.
- Additional work awaiting your approval.
Confirm whether written or photographic updates are included in your arrangement. The aim is to know what has been done and what still needs a decision.
Have a Pool Beside the New Garden?
If the landscaping surrounds an existing pool, coordinate the garden and pool-care schedules.
Ask the teams to agree on the order of nearby work so that cuttings and garden debris are collected before pool cleaning. If construction has recently finished, explain that when requesting an assessment.
A post-construction clean or an existing equipment problem may require separate work before routine maintenance starts.
KAME Gardens offers pool maintenance from AED 500 per month, with two visits per week.
Regular pool maintenance can involve essential care and inspection according to the pool’s requirements and agreed scope. Confirm the included tasks, materials and monitoring arrangements before booking.
Garden and Pool Maintenance: Separate Starting Packages
| Service | Starting monthly price | Scheduled visits |
|---|---|---|
| Garden maintenance | AED 500 | Two visits per week |
| Swimming pool maintenance | AED 500 | Two visits per week |
| Both services | AED 1,000 combined | Two visits per week for each service |
Each service is priced separately. Final pricing depends on the property’s requirements and agreed work.
You can review the KAME Gardens garden and pool maintenance offer for the advertised package details.
Two scheduled visits per week should fit within the wider care plan. Confirm whether any tasks or checks are needed between visits and who will handle them.
What to Send When Requesting a Quotation

Frequently Asked Questions
When should I arrange maintenance after landscaping?
Discuss the transition before the installer’s aftercare ends. Agree on a start date and responsibilities so there is no unintended gap.
Does monthly maintenance replace the installer’s aftercare?
Not automatically. Check both agreements and clarify who handles new planting instructions, installation concerns and routine upkeep.
Can I book garden maintenance without pool maintenance?
Yes. You can request garden care separately.
Is plant replacement included in the monthly fee?
Do not assume it is. Replacement may fall under an installer’s agreement or require a separate quotation, depending on the circumstances.
Does AED 500 cover both services?
No. Garden maintenance and pool maintenance each start from AED 500 per month.
What if the garden needs extra attention between visits?
Explain the care requirements when requesting a quotation. Agree on any additional visits or responsibilities before the service begins.
