Monthly Garden Maintenance Checklist for Dubai Homeowners

At Green Glades, we believe that a beautiful garden is a living work of art. It requires constant attention, especially in Dubai. Desert weather, hot summer, and the lack of rain require taking care of your outdoor area and being regular and attentive.

Proper garden maintenance makes the plants green and healthy, and also increases the beauty and worth of your home. You can relax in your villa garden or entertain guests in your outdoor space, and in any case, having a tidy landscape will provide calmness, freshness, and pride in your daily life.

Frequent Inspection of Watering and Irrigation

In Dubai, smart irrigation is necessary. You are an irrigation consultant, and therefore, we recommend that you do a check-up of your irrigation system once a week to ensure that your sprinklers, drip lines, and timers are performing at their best. The watering must be performed either in the early morning or evenings to decrease the evaporation.

When you have an automatic system, change the settings according to the seasons, so as not to overwater during cool seasons.

Quick Tip:

Water sensors
Monitor water levels with moisture sensors.
The filter and nozzle should be rinsed once a month to prevent blockages.
Check for leakages to avoid wastage of water.

Plant Care, Pruning, and Fertilization

A beautiful garden is one that consists of healthy plants. Cut the dead leaves, weeding, and trim excessive branches to ensure that the plants are well-shaped and to encourage regeneration. Green Glades is applying environmentally friendly fertilizers, which do not damage the soil or groundwater. Every 4-6 weeks during growing seasons, you should fertilize your plants to get the necessary nutrients.

Quick Tip:

Plant with organic compost to add more nutrients to the dirt.
Use fertilizer on the roots to prevent burning of roots.

Lawn Care and Turf Maintenance

The main characteristic of any Dubai garden is a green lawn. To keep it fresh:

Mow on a regular basis, though do not cut too short.
Aeration of the soil after every few months is necessary to promote the condition of the roots.
Water 2-3 times a week, based on the seasons.
Watch out for dry areas as a sign that your irrigation system requires a change.

At Green Glades, we have overall packages of lawn maintenance which include mowing and fertilizing, as well as pest control of both natural and artificial turf.

Pest and Disease Control

Unless you take care of your plants, pests and insects will quickly destroy them. Regular inspection is part of our garden maintenance services at Green Glades. We detect infestation of the pests at an early stage and treat them using safe and non-toxic pesticides to conserve your garden ecosystem. It is always easier and cheaper to prevent rather than cure.

Quick Tip:

Routine cleaning up of fallen debris.
Feed on the pests by using ladybugs, which are useful insects.

Planting and Replacement of Plants Seasonally

Different seasons introduce other requirements for your garden. Cooler months (October-March) are best used to plant flowering shrubs and vegetables in Dubai, whereas summer is devoted to the effectiveness of irrigation and shade control. At Green Glades, it is our nursery where we assist you in getting the right plants at any time of the year to ensure that you are always beautiful and sustainable.

Final Thoughts

Given the nature of the weather in Dubai, keeping a garden can be a difficult task, but once one has a timetabled monthly plan, it becomes very simple and fun. Our maintenance crew at Green Glades takes care of the lawns, trimming and weeding, and pest problems, so that you can enjoy your outdoor environment, which is always green and lovely all year round.
