Garden landscaping in Riyadh

A green yard, artificial grass, or an irrigation system? Here are rough prices per square metre, the difference between artificial and natural grass, and tips for a garden that survives the Riyadh heat.

How much does garden landscaping cost in Riyadh?

Most companies charge per square metre. The price depends on the grass quality, the state of the ground and the area.

ServiceRough price
Economy artificial grass (per m²)SAR 35 – 60
Mid to high-quality artificial grass (per m²)SAR 65 – 160
Artificial grass fitting (if charged separately)SAR 15 – 35 per m²
Natural grass, plantedSAR 20 – 60 per m²
Drip irrigationSAR 20 – 40 per m²

💡 Ask whether the artificial grass price includes fitting and ground preparation (levelling and sand), or whether each is extra.

💧 Natural grass is cooler and nicer, but needs daily water in summer. Artificial needs no water, but gets hot in the sun.

Common problems and what usually causes them

Natural grass turns yellow in summer

Usually too little water, or at the wrong time. Water early morning or at night, not at midday.

Artificial grass is very hot

Normal in the Riyadh sun. Spray it with water before children play, or shade part of it.

Water pools on the artificial grass

The ground underneath wasn't levelled or has no drainage. It needs levelling and drainage holes.

Weeds coming through

No weed membrane was laid under the grass. Ask about it before fitting.

High water bill

The irrigation leaks or runs too long. Drip irrigation and a timer save a lot.

Plants die quickly

Usually plants that don't suit the Riyadh climate. Ask for plants that handle heat and salty water.

Before you agree with any landscaping company

  1. What does the price include?

    Grass, fitting, ground preparation, irrigation and plants: ask about each one.

  2. Type of artificial grass

    Ask about pile height, density and UV resistance, and see a sample first.

  3. Guarantee

    How many years against fading on artificial grass? And on the irrigation?

  4. A plan

    Ask for a simple drawing or picture of the design before they start.

  5. Maintenance later

    Do they offer monthly maintenance for natural grass and plants? At what price?

  6. Past work

    Look at gardens they did a year or more ago, not just handover-day photos.

Keep your garden looking good in the Riyadh heat

Water at the right time

Early morning or after sunset, so the water doesn't evaporate.

Local plants

Plants that handle heat and salty water save water and live longer.

Some shade

A shade or a tree keeps the yard cooler and protects the grass.

Clean artificial grass

Rinse and brush it now and then to remove dust and lift the fibres.

Common questions

Artificial or natural grass?

Artificial needs no water and little upkeep, but gets hot. Natural is cooler and nicer, but needs water and care. Many people do both: natural in the shade, artificial in the sun.

How long does artificial grass last?

A good one usually lasts 5 to 10 years, depending on sun and use.

Does Laqeeni take commission?

No. Laqeeni is a directory that connects you with the company directly. You agree and pay between you.
