Landscape and external works

External works are usually the last package let and the first thing a visitor sees. MA Group delivers landscape and external works under the main contract — planting and irrigation through to interlock paving, planter walls, car parks and external lighting.

What are external works?

External works are everything outside the building line — paving, kerbs, planter walls, car parks, drainage falls, external lighting, irrigation and planting. On most projects they are the last package to be let and the first thing a client or a visitor actually sees.

What landscape work does MA Group do?

Palm and tree supply and planting, shrub and seasonal beds, turf, drip irrigation with controllers, interlock paving, kerbs, planter walls, car park landscaping and external lighting. We have delivered landscape packages for healthcare and commercial clients across Dubai.

How is irrigation designed for the UAE climate?

Drip irrigation to planting beds and trees rather than spray, run on controllers zoned by plant type and sun exposure, with the schedule adjusted seasonally. The design has to survive a Dubai summer, so species selection and irrigation zoning are decided together, not one after the other.

When should landscape be priced?

At the same time as the building, not after it. Levels, drainage falls, irrigation routes and lighting conduits all have to be set during the structural and MEP work. Landscape priced late is landscape that gets value-engineered into something that does not survive its first summer.
