If the tree is in the common area, we will instruct our landscaping service provider to prune the overgrown branch. However, if the issue is pertaining to your neighbours’ property, we recommend you speak to them to request their gardener trims the plants. If you need assistance, contact ECM at 800 EMAAR (36227) and we can issue them a notice to request they prune the overgrown plant(s).
The shrubs and trees within your property must be maintained as per the community rules.
Your gardener is responsible for collecting and properly disposing of landscaping waste and debris from your garden and this should be included in your private maintenance contract. However, small quantities of landscaping waste, neatly bundled and placed inside your garbage bin, will be collected with household waste.

The trees in Emaar South are periodically treated with a copper sulfate-based fungicide targeting fungal infections. This is neither paint, nor permanent, and the coating will wear away with time.
Deciduous trees, those which shed their leaves annually, are unusual in Dubai, and as a result, our hotline lights up with inquiries each spring as the Delonix regia trees in community streetscapes turn bare. The trees are not dying; they are simply shedding their leaves.Once the warmer weather hits, they will burst into flame-coloured blossoms before re-growing their leaves. Many of the other trees used in the streetscape become yellow-ish and partially shed their leaves this time of year as well – this is normal too, and if you look closely you will see new leaf growth.
