Dubai summers are tough on gardens. Temperatures soar, humidity climbs and plants lose water fast. With the right care, though, your garden can come through summer healthy. Here are our top tips.
Water Early and Deeply
Water in the early morning or after sunset to reduce evaporation, and water deeply so roots grow down rather than staying shallow. An efficient drip irrigation system delivers water straight to the roots and saves water.
Mulch and Shade
A layer of mulch keeps soil cooler and holds moisture. Shade structures such as pergolas protect delicate plants and make your garden usable in the heat.
Choose the Right Plants
Heat- and drought-tolerant species handle summer far better. Palms, bougainvillea and hardy shrubs thrive here — see our guide to the best plants for Dubai gardens.
Keep Up Maintenance
Summer is when gardens need attention most: checking irrigation, feeding, pest control and trimming. Regular garden maintenance keeps everything on track. If your lawn struggles each summer, artificial grass is a low-maintenance alternative.
