Green Spaces and Vision 2030: Why Urban Landscaping Keeps Growing in the Kingdom
19/08/2026

Across Saudi Arabia, green space has moved from amenity to strategy. National initiatives to expand urban greenery, improve quality of life, and build sustainable cities have made landscaping central to how the Kingdom’s urban future is being designed, from neighborhood parks to landmark giga-projects.

For property owners and developers, the momentum has practical implications: green, shaded, water-efficient outdoor space increasingly defines project quality and long-term value. Three trends stand out to our team this year:

  • Water-smart design as standard: drip and smart irrigation are becoming the default on new projects.
  • Native planting on the rise: climate-adapted species are chosen for resilience, identity, and biodiversity.
  • Outdoor living investment: shaded majlis areas, pergolas, and outdoor kitchens continue to grow in demand.

AALICO has been part of the Kingdom’s greening story since 1980, and our sustainable landscaping solutions are built to support it.
