Exceptional landscapes. Enduring legacy.
UAE's premier landscaping group since 1988.

Design gets a landscape built. Maintenance is what Design gets a landscape built. Maintenance is what keeps it alive.

Our DG landscape maintenance team is the reason communities stay green long after handover, protecting the value of every asset through consistent, hands-on care across all seasons. It is detailed, ongoing work that rarely gets recognition, and it is exactly what separates a landscape that lasts from one that fades.

The work continues, long after the ribbon is cut.

Community recreation spaces demand more than equip Community recreation spaces demand more than equipment installation. They require careful integration of safety flooring, structural play elements and fitness zones within a residential landscape.

For this project in Dubai, our Sports & Recreational team delivered a full acrylic basketball court alongside a series of play structures and fitness areas, all set within impact-rated safety rubber flooring designed for durability and everyday use. The result is a recreational precinct built to serve residents of all ages.

Landscape quality is decided before the site even Landscape quality is decided before the site even wakes up.

Every green space Desert Group maintains runs on a rhythm most people never see: early inspections, irrigation checks, pruning cycles, turf health monitoring, all completed ahead of the day's first visitor. It is repetitive by design. That repetition is what protects the asset value of the landscapes we build.

Good maintenance is invisible. That is the point.

Planting in high-footfall public spaces has to wor Planting in high-footfall public spaces has to work harder than anywhere else.

It needs to look considered, survive the climate, and hold up under daily use. Getting that balance right is less about aesthetics and more about knowing your material and your environment.

Looking back at a landmark moment for Sharjah and Looking back at a landmark moment for Sharjah and the UAE. In 2025, the Faya Palaeolandscape was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List, recognising archaeological evidence of human occupation stretching back 210,000 years.

Years before this milestone, desert INK was already designing in step with that same landscape. At Al Faya Retreat by Sharjah Collection @desertinkdesign managed the external landscape interface design between the lodge and the surrounding desert. The approach was restraint rather than addition: local stone in gabion baskets, crushed stone pathways, weathered steel edging, and native and adaptive desert planting grown from collected seed.

In a landscape shaped by 210,000 years of history, the best design response is not to add more. It is to listen, respect and work with what is already there.

Maintaining elite playing surface standards through the full demands of a UAE football season takes more than routine care. At Baniyas Stadium, our Desert Turfcare team delivered consistent quality from first whistle to last, keeping the pitch performing when it matters most.

That kind of result comes from experience on the ground, season after season.

Desert Group originally built this pitch in 2013 and has maintained it throughout. Being awarded the full redevelopment now is a reflection of the long-term relationships we build with every client.

From original construction to ongoing maintenance and now full renewal, this is what continuity of care looks like in sports turf management.

The strip of land beside a road is easy to drive past without a second glance. But it's exactly where greenery does its quietest, most important work like cooling the air, catching the eye, and giving the everyday commute something alive to look at.

Texture and movement change everything ✨ Ornament Texture and movement change everything ✨

Ornamental grasses do something static plants can't, they bring a villa garden to life. Catching the breeze, softening hard edges, framing the architecture without competing with it.
It's a small design choice with a big visual payoff.

Most planting schemes follow the architecture. des Most planting schemes follow the architecture. desert INK's approach reverses that logic.

In this residential project, species selection was driven by sculptural intent like Chorisia as structural anchors, Yucca for vertical contrast, and river pebble used as a textural ground plane rather than filler. The result is softscape that holds its own against hard contemporary materials. 

This is the design thinking behind desert INK, Desert Group's award-winning landscape architecture firm.

.مخططات الزراعة في معظمها تتبع العمارة. أما نهج desert INK، فيعكس هذا المنطق تماماً.

في هذا المشروع السكني، جاء اختيار الأنواع النباتية مدفوعاً بنية نحتية؛ إذ استُخدمت شجرة الكوريزيا كمحاور هيكلية، واليوكا لإضافة تباين رأسي، فيما وُظِّف حصى الأنهار كسطح ملمسي للأرض لا كمادة حشو. والنتيجة هي عناصر خضراء ناعمة تثبت حضورها وتنافس المواد المعاصرة الصلبة.

هذا هو الفكر التصميمي الذي يقوم عليه desert INK، شركة العمارة المناظرية الحائزة على جوائز، التابعة لـ Desert Group.

Some places are built to be experienced slowly. Some places are built to be experienced slowly. 

At Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab, the landscape, water, architecture, and sea all work together to create a hospitality experience that feels calm, detailed, and deeply connected to Dubai’s coastline. 

For Desert Group, being part of this destination across our divisions has been an exciting journey. Hospitality projects like this remind us that outdoor spaces are not just finishing touches as they shape how guests arrive, pause, relax, and remember a place. 

Proud to continue being part of the Marsa Al Arab story.

بعض الأماكن صُمِّمت لتُعاش بتأنٍّ.

في جميرا مرسى العرب، يتناغم المشهد الطبيعي والمياه والعمارة والبحر معًا لخلق تجربة ضيافة تبعث على الهدوء، وتتسم بالدقة والتفاصيل، وترتبط ارتباطًا عميقًا بساحل دبي.

بالنسبة لـ Desert Group، فإن المشاركة في هذه الوجهة عبر أقسامنا المختلفة كانت رحلة مثيرة ومُلهِمة. تُذكِّرنا مشاريع الضيافة كهذه بأن المساحات الخارجية ليست مجرد لمسات تشطيب أخيرة — بل هي التي تُحدِّد كيف يصل الضيوف، وكيف يتوقفون، ويسترخون، ويحتفظون بذكرى المكان.

نفخر بمواصلة كوننا جزءًا من قصة مرسى العرب.

The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. Th The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is today.

It's a proverb, but it's also the most honest thing anyone can say about environmental work: the returns don't arrive on the day you announce an initiative. They arrive in the decade you commit to it.

That's the uncomfortable part of real sustainability, it asks for patience in a world built on quarterly results. But the green spaces that cool our cities, lift land value, and support biodiversity weren't installed overnight. They were planted by people willing to think in decades, not deadlines.

This World Environment Day, that's the idea worth sharing.

أفضل وقت لزراعة شجرة كان قبل عشرين عاماً. وثاني أفضل وقت هو اليوم.

إنه مثَل قديم، لكنه أيضاً أصدق ما يمكن أن يُقال عن العمل البيئي: فالعائد لا يأتي يوم تعلن عن مبادرتك، بل يأتي في العقد الذي تلتزم به.

هذا هو الجانب الصعب في الاستدامة الحقيقية؛ إذ تتطلب صبراً في عالم مبنيّ على النتائج الفصلية. لكن المساحات الخضراء التي تلطّف حرارة مدننا، وترفع قيمة أراضينا، وتدعم التنوّع البيولوجي، لم تُزرع بين ليلة وضحاها. بل زرعها أناسٌ آمنوا بالتفكير على مدى عقود، لا مواعيد نهائية.

في يوم البيئة العالمي هذا، تلك هي الفكرة التي تستحق أن تُشارَك.

Sharjah Safari Park spans over 8 square kilometres and is home to more than 50,000 animals across 120 species including lions, elephants, giraffes, rhinos, flamingos and more. Supporting that kind of scale takes more than planting trees.

Desert Group's work here involved swale networks that harvest and slow water into the soil, constructed wetlands and reedbeds that improve water quality and create habitat, and soil rehabilitation strategies that give vegetation a fighting chance in an arid climate. Water, soils, terrain and plant communities were designed as one system, not individual parts.

Seven years on, those systems are still performing. That's what ecological design built for the long term looks like.
