Location: Sobha Hartland
Back yard: 2,410 sq ft
Scope: Swimming pool construction, full landscaping, sunken seating area, pergola, bar counter, wall feature, outdoor lighting, and complete pool and landscape design and build
Approvals: All NOC and community approvals handled directly by Elkin Landscape
Sobha Hartland is a newer, master-planned community. Villa plots here often come with more flexibility in layout than older, established areas, but also stricter design guidelines to keep the community’s look consistent. On a project like this one, the whole outdoor space gets planned as one layout from the start. A sunken seating area, pergola, bar counter, and wall feature all need to work together, rather than being added piecemeal after the pool and basic landscaping are already finished.
A wall feature and sunken seating area in particular need to be planned early. They affect drainage, electrical runs for lighting, and how the rest of the garden’s levels and pathways connect around them. Getting that sequencing right from the design stage is what keeps a project like this from needing rework later.
We handled every NOC and community approval for this project directly, so the homeowner didn’t need to submit anything or manage that process themselves.
We’ve worked across multiple communities alongside Sobha Hartland, including Palm Jumeirah, Dubai Hills, Al Furjan, Meydan, and Jumeirah Park. Our engineers, architects, and site crews are in-house. The same team that designs a project also builds it and handles every approval, rather than splitting the work across separate contractors.
On this project specifically, that meant coordinating swimming pool construction, landscaping, a pergola, a sunken seating area, a bar counter, a wall feature, and full outdoor lighting under one team and one approval process.
Outdoor space like this is also something buyers and agents increasingly factor in when comparing similar villas (propertyfinder.ae), which matters in a community like Sobha Hartland where villa finishes are part of what sets one property apart from another.

Yes. Features like these affect drainage and electrical runs for lighting. They also affect how the rest of the garden connects around them, so they need to be part of the design from the start rather than added in after the main landscaping is finished.
Yes. Full outdoor lighting was part of the scope, alongside the pool, landscaping, pergola, bar counter, and wall feature, all coordinated as one project.
