You've got a bare stretch of sand out back and a picture in your head of something greener. The hard part is knowing who'll actually turn up, quote fairly, and finish the job. The garden design services shortlisted here for Abu Dhabi span a 0.7-star ratings gap, from a 4.3 average up to a perfect 5.0, so the difference between the top and bottom pick is bigger than it looks at a glance.

Short answer: Garden Grow Landscaping & Gardening takes the top spot with a 4.8 rating across 199 reviews, the deepest track record of any garden crew we checked in Abu Dhabi. Cento Landscaping (4.8, 97 reviews) runs a close second, and Modern Gardens holds the best rating in the group at 4.9. Pricing swings widely with plot size, irrigation, and whether you want natural or artificial grass, so line up two or three quotes before you commit.

Our take: The safe default. It carries the deepest review base of any garden crew in Abu Dhabi and the most complete service list, which is why it lands at number one on proven volume, not just a strong rating.

Cento landscaping

4.897 Google reviews

Cento Landscaping runs a broad menu for outdoor spaces, covering garden landscaping and maintenance, pergolas and gazebos, swimming pools, water features, green walls, artificial grass, and garden lighting. Based in Abu Dhabi's Industrial City, the team pitches design-through-installation work rather than one-off visits. Reviewers point to strong lighting setups and reliable follow-up calls during a project. It's a fuller pick if you want structure, water, and planting handled under one roof.

What people praise

  • Professional consultation-to-completion process
  • Praised for garden lighting and water-feature work
  • Good follow-up calls and mid-project responsiveness
  • One team for landscaping, pools, pergolas, and lighting

Our take: A close number two. It shares our winner's 4.8 rating but on about half the review count, so it ranks just behind on proven volume. Worth a quote if you want lighting or a water feature in the mix.

Modern Gardens Landscaping

4.957 Google reviews

  • Competitive, upfront pricing with no hidden charges
  • Prompt, friendly responses through the project
  • Support from design stage all the way to completion
  • Wide range of landscape elements and play surfaces

Our take: Its 4.9 is the best rating in this group, but it rests on 57 reviews, so it ranks third on confidence rather than raw quality. If clear, honest pricing matters most to you, start here.

Plantico landscape and gardening - L.L.C

5.035 Google reviews

Plantico Landscape and Gardening is part garden center, part landscaping service, based near Najda Street in central Abu Dhabi. Reviewers mostly describe plant supply and planting work: the team suggests the right plants for a space, delivers healthy stock, and recommends care that keeps things growing. It skews toward planting and greenery rather than large hardscape builds. Open seven days a week and late into the evening, it's handy for plant-first projects.

What people praise

  • Well-matched plant recommendations for the space
  • Healthy, good-quality plant stock
  • Helpful plant-care and feeding advice
  • Long daily hours, open seven days

Worth knowing

  • No website listed, so you'll reach them by phone

Our take: It ranks fifth on a 4.3 rating, the lowest here, though 51 reviews and a deep design service keep it on the list. Fine for design-heavy jobs, but ask to see finished local projects first.

How we scored these gardeners

Rating is the live Google average each business holds today. Volume is how many customers have actually rated them, ranked against the others. Confidence blends the two, so a high score on a handful of reviews counts for less than a strong score on hundreds. Recency tracks how lately people are still leaving reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.

What does a garden redesign cost in Abu Dhabi? (2026)

Garden costs in Abu Dhabi swing too widely for a single honest figure, so treat every quote on its own terms. Plot size is the biggest driver, followed by irrigation, the choice between natural and artificial grass, and any hardscape like paving, pergolas, or water features. A planting refresh sits at one end; a full design-plus-build with pool and lighting sits far higher. Get two or three itemized quotes and ask what upkeep will run afterward.

Serving gardens across Abu Dhabi

Between them these crews cover the emirate, with reviews naming jobs in Yas Island, Al Forsan Village, Mohammed Bin Zayed City, Al Jubail Island, and Saadiyat, plus Khalifa City, Al Reem, and Al Raha. Searching garden design near me from any Abu Dhabi neighborhood should surface at least two of them, so shortlist by who covers your area and can visit soonest.

What to ask before you hire a garden designer

  • Is the quote itemized, covering design, materials, labor, and irrigation separately?
  • Do you install natural grass, artificial grass, or both, and which suits my plot?
  • Who handles ongoing maintenance once the build is done, and what does it cost?
  • Can you show me two or three finished gardens near mine?
  • How long will the job take, and what happens if the timeline slips?
  • Is the irrigation system on timers, and is servicing included?

Frequently asked questions

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from public Google data, ratings weighted by review volume, confidence, and recency. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner, which adds a badge and top placement, but that never changes another company’s score or position.

How did you choose these five garden services?

We started from the garden design and landscaping businesses in Abu Dhabi with a real Google track record, then ranked them on live rating and how many customers actually reviewed them, giving weight to firms with a proven volume of feedback rather than a perfect score on a handful of reviews.

How often is this list updated?

We last verified these ratings and review counts in July 2026. We refresh them as the underlying Google data moves, so positions can shift when a business gains reviews or its average changes.

Should I get more than one quote?

Yes. Garden pricing varies so much by plot size, irrigation, and grass choice that a single quote tells you little. Two or three itemized quotes let you compare like for like and spot anything missing.

Natural grass or artificial grass in Abu Dhabi?

Both come up across these reviews. Natural grass needs regular watering and upkeep in the heat, while artificial grass costs more upfront but cuts ongoing maintenance. Most of these crews install either, so ask each one which fits your space and budget.

The bottom line

For most homeowners, Garden Grow is the safe first call thanks to its deep, consistent track record and full-service range. If you want formal design drawings first or a specific feature like lighting or a pool, put Al Reef or Cento on the same shortlist. Whoever you pick, get the quote itemized before any work starts.
