The new arrival: auditing the garden you just inherited
If you have just collected villa keys, you have inherited a system you did not design, running on settings you did not choose. Do the audit in week one, before anything dies quietly. Find the irrigation controller (usually in the garage, a side passage or a valve box near the boundary wall), photograph its current programme, and run each zone manually for two minutes while you walk the garden watching where water actually emerges. Dry corners, geysering broken heads and drippers crusted shut with limescale all show themselves in ten minutes.
Next, inventory what you own: count the palms, identify the big trees, and note which beds are on drip versus sprays. Then book a one-off gardener visit (AED 150–350 for a standard assessment-and-tidy) and ask three questions: is the controller schedule right for the current season, which plants are already stressed, and what would you change first. A good gardener answers specifically; a vague answer is your cue to compare other vendors. If the previous occupant left no information at all, assume the schedule is wrong — handover gardens are almost always either drowning or starving.

Frequently asked questions
When is the right time to trim date palms?
The main trim is late summer into autumn, after the July–September harvest, removing spent fruit stalks, dead fronds and the fibrous skirt. A lighter tidy in spring is fine, and if you do not want fruit at all, having flower stalks cut in spring prevents a summer of dropped dates. Only brown or dying fronds should ever be removed — stripping green growth weakens the palm.
How do I know if my palm has red palm weevil?
Watch for wilting or collapsed fronds at the crown, holes in the trunk oozing sap or fibre, chewed material around the crown, and sometimes a rustling sound from inside the trunk. Weevil kills palms from the inside and spreads, so treat any suspicion as urgent: get a professional assessment quickly, because early injection treatment can save a palm that late discovery cannot.
When is planting season in the UAE?
October to March. Planting in this window gives roots months of mild weather to establish before the first summer, which is when badly timed plants die. Summer is for maintenance only — watering, light pruning and pest checks. If you arrive mid-year, resist planting until October; spend the interim fixing irrigation instead.
Is artificial grass a better choice than real turf?
It depends on use. Artificial wins in deep shade, small dog runs and rental properties where zero-risk matters; it needs no water and stays green in photos. But it becomes uncomfortably hot underfoot in summer and still needs brushing and rinsing. For areas where children play outdoors through the warm months, real paspalum is the kinder surface.
Where can I buy plants cheaply, and does it matter where they were grown?
Dubai's Warsan plant souq offers the widest retail selection; the nursery belts along Sharjah's Al Dhaid road and around Al Ain are cheaper still. Provenance matters a lot: locally acclimatised plants have already survived UAE sun and water, while greenhouse imports often fail in their first summer. Ask where stock was grown before buying.
